The rat hippocampal gliovascular system following one week vortioxetine and fluoxetine
(Elsevier, 2020)
We have previously reported that vortioxetine, unlike the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine, produces a rapid increase of dendritic spine number and Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)-associated ...
Autistic-like behaviours and associated brain structural plasticity are modulated by oxytocin in maternally separated rats
(Elsevier, 2020)
Background
Early psycho-social experiences influence the developing brain and possible onset of various neurodevelopmental disorders, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ASD is characterized by a variety of brain ...
Structural plasticity and molecular markers in hippocampus of male rats after acute stress
(Elsevier, 2020)
Stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders and affects neuronal plasticity in different brain regions. We have previously found that acute foot-shock (FS) stress elicits fast and long-lasting ...
Rapid effects of S-ketamine on the morphology of hippocampal astrocytes and BDNF serum levels in a sex-dependent manner
(Elsevier, 2020)
The prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) is higher in women than men. Importantly, a differential behavioral response by sex to the antidepressant response to ketamine in rodents has been reported. Mechanistically, ...
Flinders sensitive line rats are resistant to infarction following transient occlusion of the middle cerebral artery
(Elsevier, 2020)
Background
Depression is a common complication of stroke and increases the risk of mortality and disability. Pre-stroke depression is a possible risk factor for stroke and has also been linked to adverse outcomes. The ...
