Neural Basis of Internal Attention in Adults with Pure and Comorbid ADHD

Farnaz Delavari

Objective: To examine whether putatively atypical neuronal activity during internal attention in ADHD yields insights into processes underlying emotion dysregulation. Methods: We used a word processing paradigm to assess neural activations in adults with A ...

Plant sterols and cholesterol metabolism are associated with five-year cognitive decline in the elderly population

Mehdi Gholam, Christopher Clark

Dysregulations in cholesterol metabolism are associated with neurodegenerative and vascular pathologies, and dementia. Diet-derived plant sterols (phytosterols) have cholesterol-lowering, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties and may interfere with ...

Amygdala GluN2B-NMDAR dysfunction is critical in abnormal aggression of neurodevelopmental origin induced by St8sia2 deficiency

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Graham Knott, Johannes Gräff, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut, Catherine Maclachlan, Simone Astori, Wei Tang, Bianca Ambrogina Silva, Elias Georges Gebara, Alexandre Claude Gustave Bacq

Aggression is frequently observed in neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, autism, and bipolar disorder. Due to a lack of understanding of its underlying mechanisms, effective treatments for abnormal aggression are still missing. ...

Alterations in brain microstructure in rats that develop abnormal aggression following peripubertal stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Sophie Elizabeth Walker

Exposure to early adversity is implicated in the development of aggressive behaviour later in life in some but not all individuals. The reasons for the variability in response to such experiences are not clear but may relate to pre‐existing individual diff ...

Long term programming of psychopathology-like behaviors in male rats by peripubertal stress depends on individual’s glucocorticoid responsiveness to stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Sophie Elizabeth Walker

Experience of adversity early in life and dysregulation of hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenocortical (HPA) axis activity are risk factors often independently associated with the development of psychopathological disorders, including depression, PTSD and pathol ...

Implication of individual differences in glucocorticoid responsiveness to stress in the development of psychopathology-like behaviour and underlying neurobiology

Sophie Elizabeth Walker

The period around puberty is a critical window in development. It is a time of neuroendocrine and neuroanatomical lability, rendering individuals highly sensitive to stress. Indeed, early adversity increases risk for psychopathology. The mechanisms via whi ...

Peripubertal stress-induced behavioral changes are associated with altered expression of genes involved in excitation and inhibition in the amygdala

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Orbicia Riccio Wicht

Early-life stress is a critical risk factor for developing psychopathological alterations later in life. This early adverse environment has been modeled in rats by exposure to stress during the peripubertal period-that is, corresponding to childhood and pu ...

Peripuberty stress leads to abnormal aggression, altered amygdala and orbitofrontal reactivity and increased prefrontal MAOA gene expression

Pierre Magistretti, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Didier Trono, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Guillaume Poirier, Anna Claire Groner

Although adverse early life experiences have been found to increase lifetime risk to develop violent behaviors, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these long-term effects remain unclear. We present a novel animal model for pathological aggression in ...

Psychobiological Vulnerability to Stress : Behavioral Traits and Neurobiological Mechanisms

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jorge Eduardo Castro Cifuentes

Several psychobiological factors are associated with vulnerability/resilience to stress-induced depression. Emerging evidence indicates behavioral traits, such as anxiety, can be related to depression-like symptoms after exposure to chronic stress. However ...

Prefrontal Plasticity and Stress Inoculation-Induced Resilience

Marie Schaer

Coping with mild early life stress tends to make subsequent coping efforts more effective and therefore more likely to be used as a means of arousal regulation and resilience. Here we show that this developmental learning-like process of stress inoculation ...

Virtual reality exposure therapy for social phobia

Bruno Herbelin

This thesis presents researches and experiments performed in collaboration with a psychiatrist in order to validate and improve the use of virtual reality in social phobia psychotherapy. Cognitive and behavioral therapies are strongly based on the exposure ...
