Neurobiological links between stress and anxiety
Stress and anxiety have intertwined behavioral and neural underpinnings. These commonalities are critical for understanding each state, as well as their mutual interactions. Grasping the mechanisms underlying this bidirectional relationship will have major ...
2019Trait anxiety on effort allocation to monetary incentives: a behavioral and high-density EEG study
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Alina Veronika Irene Strasser
Trait anxiety is an important phenotype in the prediction of stress-induced neuropsychiatric disorders. While the role of trait anxiety in mental effort and cognitive impairment is well documented, much less is known about its influence on motivated behavi ...
2019Medium 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 ...
2018Alterations in brain microstructure in rats that develop abnormal aggression following peripubertal stress
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Sophie Elizabeth Walker
Exposure to early adversity is implicated in the development of aggressive behaviour later in life in some but not all individuals. The reasons for the variability in response to such experiences are not clear but may relate to pre‐existing individual diff ...
2018e-Glass: A Wearable System for Real-Time Detection of Epileptic Seizures
David Atienza Alonso, Amir Aminifar, Dionisije Sopic
Today, epilepsy is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting more than 65 million people worldwide and is ranked number four after migraine, Alzheimer’s disease, and stroke. Despite the recent advances in anti-epileptic drugs, one-third of the epil ...
2018The 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 ...
2018Constitutive differences in habituation of the glucocorticoid response to stress are related to variation in aggression and anxiety-related behaviors
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Olivia Zanoletti, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut, Sophie Elizabeth Walker
Glucocorticoids coordinate responses that enable an individual to cope with stressful challenges and, additionally, mediate adaptation following cessation of a stressor. There are important individual differences in the magnitude of glucocorticoid responsi ...
2017EmovDiary: Visualizing Personal Nutrition Intake and Emotional Response
Recent research has indicated a significant mutual influence between food intake and emotional status. Mindfulness has also shown potential in supporting positive changes in dietary habits. In an attempt to improve individual awareness and mindfulness arou ...
2017Implication of individual differences in glucocorticoid responsiveness to stress in the development of psychopathology-like behaviour and underlying neurobiology
The period around puberty is a critical window in development. It is a time of neuroendocrine and neuroanatomical lability, rendering individuals highly sensitive to stress. Indeed, early adversity increases risk for psychopathology. The mechanisms via whi ...
EPFL2016Long Term Hippocampal and Cortical Changes Induced by Maternal Deprivation and Neonatal Leptin Treatment in Male and Female Rats
Maternal deprivation (MD) during neonatal life has diverse long-term behavioral effects and alters the development of the hippocampus and frontal cortex, with several of these effects being sexually dimorphic. MD animals show a marked reduction in their ci ...
