Increased brain glucocorticoid actions following social defeat in rats facilitates the long-term establishment of social subordination

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Meltem Weger

Social rank is frequently established through aggressive encounters between new conspecifics. Despite increasing evidence suggesting that social rank is critical for the well-being of both humans and animals, knowledge about the factors influencing social ...

Low vagal tone in two rat models of psychopathology involving high or low corticosterone stress responses

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Damien Sébastien Huzard, Sriparna Ghosal

The two stress-responsive physiological systems, autonomic nervous system (ANS) and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis exert complementary and interrelated actions in the organism. Individuals that suffer stress-related psychopathologies frequently ...

Hippocampal neuroligin-2 overexpression leads to reduced aggression and inhibited novelty reactivity in rats

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

Disturbances of the excitation/inhibition (E/I) balance in the brain were recently suggested as potential factors underlying disorders like autism and schizophrenia resulting in associated behavioral alterations including changes in social and emotional be ...

A key role for nectin-1 in the ventral hippocampus in contextual fear memory

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse

Nectins are cell adhesion molecules that are widely expressed in the brain. Nectin expression shows a dynamic spatiotemporal regulation, playing a role in neural migratory processes during development. Nectin-1 and nectin-3 and their heterophilic trans-int ...

The effects of stress during early postnatal periods on behavior and hippocampal neuroplasticity markers in adult male mice

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Aurélie Lattion

Infancy is a critical period for brain development. Emerging evidence indicates that stress experienced during that period can have long-term programming effects on the brain and behavior. However, whether different time periods represent different vulnera ...
