Highly Sensitive Detection of the Antidepressant Fluoxetine With an Extended Gate Field Effect Transistor

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Shokoofeh Sheibani

Fluoxetine (FL) is one of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which is used as an anti-depressant, as well as anti-panic drug. In this work, a sensor for label-free recognition of trace amounts of FL is introduced, which is based on an extended ga ...

Large-Scale Brain Network Dynamics Provide a Measure of Psychosis and Anxiety in 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome Daniela

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Marie Schaer, Fikret Isik Karahanoglu

BACKGROUND: Prodromal positive psychotic symptoms and anxiety are two strong risk factors for schizophrenia in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). The analysis of large-scale brain network dynamics during rest is promising to investigate aberrant brain fu ...

Anxiety and Brain Mitochondria: A Bidirectional Crosstalk

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Accumulating data highlight the contribution of brain mitochondria and bioenergetics to psychiatric disorders and stress-related pathologies. Although anxiety has not received much attention in this booming literature, a bidirectional interplay between anx ...

Schizophrenia patients using atypical medication perform better in visual tasks than patients using typical medication

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili, Albulena Jashari-Shaqiri

Schizophrenia (SCZ) patients show deficits in many domains, including cognition and perception. However, results are often mixed. One reason for mixed results may be differences in medication. Very little is known about the role of medication in visual pro ...

Image-Based Marker-Free Screening of GABA(A) Agonists, Antagonists, and Modulators

Pierre Marquet, Gerardo Turcatti, Benjamin Rappaz, Pascal Jourdain, Fabien Kuttler, Damiano Banfi

The ionotropic GABA(A) receptors represent the main target for different groups of widely used drugs having hypnotic and anxiolytic effects. So far, most approaches used to assess GABA activity involve invasive low -throughput electrophysiological techniqu ...

Synthesis of diphenoxyadamantane alkylamines with pharmacological interest

Stewart Cole, Anthony Vocat

In this work, the synthesis and the pharmacological evaluation of diphenoxyadamantane alkylamines Ia-f and IIa-f is described. The new diphenoxy-substituted adamantanes share structural features present in trypanocidal and antitubercular agents. 1-Methylpi ...

Medium chain triglyceride diet reduces anxiety-like behaviors and enhances social competitiveness in rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Fiona Hollis

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) are emerging as unique dietary supplements that are potentially relevant for the amelioration of brain dysfunctions. MCT are converted into ketones and free medium chain fatty acids that, in the brain, are highly effective ...

Diazepam actions in the VTA enhance social dominance and mitochondrial function in the nucleus accumbens by activation of accumbal dopamine D1 receptors

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Fiona Hollis, Ioannis Zalachoras, Laura Lozano Montes, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut

Benzodiazepines can ameliorate social disturbances and increase social competition, particularly in high-anxious individuals. However, the neural circuits and mechanisms underlying benzodiazepines’ effects in social competition are not understood. Convergi ...

GABA A receptors in the ventral tegmental area control the outcome of a social competition in rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Ioannis Zalachoras

Social dominance can be attained through social competitions. Recent work in both humans and rodents has identified trait anxiety as a crucial predictor of social competitiveness. In addition, the anxiolytic GABAA positive modulator, diazepam, injected eit ...

Stress, glucocorticoid receptor and social behaviors

Aurélie Lattion

Peripuberty, comprising childhood and adolescence, constitutes an important time window in the brain development and maturation. Exposure to prolonged stress during this period has been shown to increase the risk for the development of psychopathologies la ...

The Split Luciferin Reaction : From Bioorthogonal Chemistry to Bioluminescence Imaging

Aurélien Godinat

Studying biological processes on the level of live cells with the help of biocompatible reac-tions has tremendously advanced our understanding of basic biology. However, the great complexity of many human pathologies such as cancer, diabetes and neurodegen ...

The impact of anxiety and reward-seeking traits on social competition and the role of the mesolimbic dopaminergic system

Laura Lozano Montes

Social hierarchies are established across a range of different taxa in the animal kingdom. Given that hierarchy inequalities are highly present in nowadays society and the health problems that low rank individuals suffer from this, it is surprising that no ...

Stress pulls us apart: Anxiety leads to differences in competitive confidence under stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Fiona Hollis, Samuel Bendahan, John Christian Thoresen

Social competition is a fundamental mechanism of evolution and plays a central role in structuring individual interactions and communities. Little is known about the factors that affect individuals’ competitive success, particularly in humans. Key factors ...

The electrophysiological effects of the serotonin 1A receptor agonist buspirone in emotional face processing

Fosco Bernasconi

Emotional face processing is critically modulated by the serotonergic system, and serotonin (5-HT) receptor agonists impair emotional face processing. However, the specific contribution of the 5-HT1A receptor remains poorly understood. Here we investigated ...

Long-term behavioral programming induced by peripuberty stress in rats is accompanied by GABAergic-related alterations in the amygdala

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Stamatina Tzanoulinou, Vandana Veenit

Stress during childhood and adolescence is a risk factor for psychopathology. Alterations in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, have been found following stress exposure and fear experiences and are often implica ...

Visual backward masking deficits in schizotypy are observed in late but not early onset nicotine smokers

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype for schizophrenia. Relative VBM deficits were also observed in high as compared to low scorers in one schizotypal subdimension (cognitive disorganisation, CogDis; Cappe et al., 2012). VBM deficits ...

Personality traits in rats predict vulnerability and resilience to developing stress-induced depression-like behaviors, HPA axis hyper-reactivity and brain changes in pERK1/2 activity

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Maria Isabel Cordero Campana, Jorge Eduardo Castro Cifuentes

Emerging evidence indicates that certain behavioral traits, such as anxiety, are associated with the development of depression-like behaviors after exposure to chronic stress. However, single traits do not explain the wide variability in vulnerability to s ...

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 ...
