Blunted Glucocorticoid Responsiveness to Stress Causes Behavioral and Biological Alterations That Lead to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Vulnerability

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Olivia Zanoletti, Simone Astori, Jocelin Grosse, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut, Sophie Elizabeth Walker, Silvia Monari

Background: Understanding why only a subset of trauma-exposed individuals develop posttraumatic stress disorder is critical for advancing clinical strategies. A few behavioral (deficits in fear extinction) and biological (blunted glucocorticoid levels, sma ...

eNAMPT actions through nucleus accumbens NAD + /SIRT1 link increased adiposity with sociability deficits programmed by peripuberty stress

Johan Auwerx, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Olivia Zanoletti, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Simone Astori, Jocelin Grosse, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut, Ioannis Zalachoras, Laia Morato Fornaguera, Sriparna Ghosal

Obesity is frequently associated with impairments in the social domain, and stress at puberty can lead to long-lasting changes in visceral fat deposition and in social behaviors. However, whether stress-induced changes in adipose tissue can affect fat-to-b ...

The interplay of conditional NCAM-knockout and chronic unpredictable stress leads to increased aggression in mice

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Orbicia Riccio Wicht

The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is a key regulator of brain plasticity. Substantial evidence indicates that NCAM is down-regulated by exposure to sustained stress and chronic stress seems to lead to increased aggression. In addition, constitutiona ...

Peripubertal stress-induced heightened aggression: modulation of the glucocorticoid receptor in the central amygdala and normalization by mifepristone treatment

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Orbicia Riccio Wicht, Vandana Veenit

Despite the enormous negative impact of excessive aggression for individuals and societies, there is a paucity of treatments. Here, using a peripubertal stress model of heightened aggression in rats, we investigated the involvement of the glucocorticoid sy ...

Opposite effects of stress on effortful motivation in high and low anxiety are mediated by CRHR1 in the VTA

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Olivia Zanoletti, Simone Astori, Jocelin Grosse, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut, Ioannis Zalachoras

Individuals frequently differ in their behavioral and cognitive responses to stress. However, whether motivation is differently affected by acute stress in different individuals remains to be established. By exploiting natural variation in trait anxiety in ...

Corticotropin-releasing hormone modulates NREM sleep consolidation through the thalamic reticular nucleus

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Olivia Zanoletti, Simone Astori, Loredana Cumpana

Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is a peptide associated with stress and anxiety that acts as a potent modulator throughout the nervous system. The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) displays high expression of the CRH receptor 1 (CRHR1), but whether CR ...

Mitofusin-2 in nucleus accumbens D2-MSNs regulates social dominance and neuronal function

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Bernard Schneider, Olivia Zanoletti, Simone Astori, Jocelin Grosse, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut, Eva Ramos Fernandez, Elias Georges Gebara, Alessandro Chioino, Sriparna Ghosal

The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is a brain hub regulating motivated behaviors, including social competitiveness. Mitochondrial function in the NAc links anxiety with social competitiveness, and the mitochondrial fusion protein mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) in NAc neurons ...

Urolithin A abolishes high anxiety and rescues the associated mitochondria-related transcriptomic signatures and synaptic function

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Davide D'Amico, Olivia Zanoletti, Simone Astori, Jocelin Grosse, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut, Dogukan Hazar Ülgen

Background: Chronic anxiety is common, disabling, and often refractory to current therapies. Mounting evidence implicates mitochondrial abnormalities in anxiety-related phenotypes. Urolithin A (UA), a gut microbiota-derived metabolite known to enhance mito ...
