Impact of Mitofusin 2 in the Nucleus Accumbens on motivated behavior and underlying neurobiological mechanisms
The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is part of the ventral striatum and plays a major role in motivation and goal-directed behaviour. Increasing evidence implicates impairments in accumbal function in anxiety and depression, two conditions that are commonly accomp ...
EPFL2024Identification 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 PRESS2022Using connectivity-based real-time fMRI neurofeedback to modulate attentional and resting state networks in people with high trait anxiety
Elenor Morgenroth, Francesca Saviola
High levels of trait anxiety are associated with impaired attentional control, changes in brain activity during attentional control tasks and altered network resting state functional connectivity (RSFC). Specifically, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to ante ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020Neurobiological 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 ...
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 ...
2018Long term programming of psychopathology-like behaviors in male rats by peripubertal stress depends on individual’s glucocorticoid responsiveness to stress
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Sophie Elizabeth Walker
Experience of adversity early in life and dysregulation of hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenocortical (HPA) axis activity are risk factors often independently associated with the development of psychopathological disorders, including depression, PTSD and pathol ...
2018Stress Impacts the Regulation Neuropeptides in the Rat Hippocampus and Prefrontal Cortex
Gregor Rainer, Laura Lozano Montes, Nan Zhao
Adverse life experience increases the lifetime risk to several stress-related psychopathologies, such as anxiety or depressive–like symptom following stress in adulthood. However, the neurochemical modulations triggered by stress have not been fully charac ...
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 ...
2017Structural and functional alterations in the prefrontal cortex after post-weaning social isolation: relationship with species-typical and deviant aggression
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Samuel Bendahan
Although the inhibitory control of aggression by the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the cornerstone of current theories of aggression control, a number of human and laboratory studies showed that the execution of aggression increases PFC activity; moreover, en ...
