PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Identification of biopsychological trait markers in functional neurological disorders
Weber et al. provide evidence in support of a stress-diathesis model of functional neurological disorders. They identify trauma history in the form of emotional neglect as a psychological risk factor, and reduced hippocampus and amygdala volume as a predis ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Transsphenoidal resection for pituitary adenoma in elderly versus younger patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction Pituitary adenomas (PA) are common intracranial tumors. In the context of the aging of the population, the question is whether postsurgical outcomes are comparable to the younger ones. The primary objective of the present study was to review p ...
2020Gamma Knife radiosurgery for acromegaly: Evaluating the role of the biological effective dose associated with endocrine remission in a series of 42 consecutive cases
Introduction Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a valuable treatment option for persistent and/or recurrent acromegaly secondary to growth hormone (GH) secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Here, we assess the role of biological effective dose (BED) received b ...
2020Whole-body somatotopic maps in the cerebellum revealed with 7T fMRI
Wietske Van der Zwaag, Yohan Boillat
The cerebellum is known to contain a double somatotopic body representation. While the anterior lobe body map has shown a robust somatotopic organization in previous fMRI studies, the representations in the posterior lobe have been more difficult to observ ...
2020Thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenomas: a systematic review and meta-analysis of postoperative outcomes and management
PurposeTSH-secreting pituitary adenomas are rare pituitary tumors. An efficient treatment is essential to limit the mortality and morbidity in untreated patients. The aim of this study is to summarize the evidence about the postoperative outcomes and manag ...

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 ...
2019The link between aberrant hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity during development and the emergence of aggression-Animal studies
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Damien Sébastien Huzard, Sophie Elizabeth Walker
Aggressive behavior is not uniform, including proactive and reactive forms of aggression. Aberrant functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is frequently associated with abnormal aggression. Here, we review the rodent literature in orde ...
