Mitochondrial function in the brain links anxiety with social subordination

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Olivia Zanoletti, Fiona Hollis, Michael van der Kooij, Laura Lozano Montes

Dominance hierarchies are integral aspects of social groups, yet whether personality traits may predispose individuals to a particular rank remains unclear. Here we show that trait anxiety directly influences social dominance in male outbred rats and ident ...

Deletion of glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (Glud1) in the central nervous system affects glutamate handling without altering synaptic transmission

Rolf Gruetter

Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), encoded by GLUD1, participates in the breakdown and synthesis of glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter. In the CNS, besides its primary signaling function, glutamate is also at the crossroad of metabolic and neurotr ...

ECG-based prediction of atrial fibrillation development following coronary artery bypass grafting

Sinisa Sovilj

In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, post-operative atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs with a prevalence of up to 40%. The highest incidence is seen between the second and third day after the operation. Following cardiac surg ...

Thrombin-induced ischemic tolerance is prevented by inhibiting c-jun N-terminal kinase

Pierre Magistretti, Cristina Granziera, Jonathan Thevenet

We have studied ischemic tolerance induced by the serine protease thrombin in two different models of experimental ischemia. In organotypic hippocampal slice cultures, we demonstrate that incubation with low doses of thrombin protects neurons against a sub ...

Effects of P2, a peptide derived from a homophilic binding site in the neural cell adhesion molecule on learning and memory in rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays a pivotal role in neural development, regeneration, synaptic plasticity, and memory processes. P2 is a 12-amino-acid peptide derived from the second immunoglobulin-like (Ig) module of NCAM mediating cis-homoph ...
