Back to basics: a methodological perspective on marble-burying behavior as a screening test for psychiatric illness
(Elsevier, 2018)Animal models of human psychiatric illness are valuable frameworks to investigate the etiology and neurobiology underlying the human conditions. Accurate behavioral measures that can be used to characterize animal behavior, ... -
Chronic treatment with the phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors sildenafil and tadalafil display anxiolytic effects in Flinders Sensitive Line rats
(Springer, 2012)There are conflicting results from behavioural studies regarding whether the activation or inhibition of the cGMP-nitric oxide (NO) pathway induces anxiolytic-like behaviour. Sildenafil, an inhibitor of cGMP-selective ... -
Correlates of physical activity among adults with anxiety symptoms in South Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)The present study aimed to assess the correlates of low physical activity in adults with anxiety in South Africa. Data from the South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (a cross-sectional survey in ... -
A critical inquiry into marble-burying as a preclinical screening paradigm of relevance for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder: mapping the way forward
(Springer, 2019)Rodent marble-burying behavior in the marble-burying test (MBT) is employed as a model or measure to study anxiety- and compulsive-like behaviors or anxiolytic and anticompulsive drug action. However, the test responds ... -
Differences in the wellbeing of dual–earner parents with young children
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)The general objective of this research was to investigate the wellbeing (i.e. health and work– life interference) of dual-earner parents with different sociodemographic characteristics (i.e. age and gender) and family ... -
High sedentary behaviour and low physical activity are associated with anxiety and depression in Myanmar and Vietnam
(MDPI, 2019)The study aimed to estimate independent and combined associations of sedentary behaviour and physical activity with anxiety and depression among chronic disease patients in Myanmar and Vietnam. The cross-sectional sample ... -
Maternal high-fat diet programs offspring emotional behavior in adulthood
(Elsevier, 2018)Prenatal exposure to high-fat diet (HFD) might predispose offspring to develop metabolic and mental disorders later in life. Insight into the molecular and behavioral consequences of maternal HFD on offspring is sparse but ... -
Psycho-hormonal effects of aerobic fatigue on collegiate female soccer players
(AOSIS, 2020)Up to 95% of a soccer match entails aerobic actions that may cause fatigue. Little is known about the effects of fatigue on the hormonal and psychological states of female players. Cortisol values (saliva sample), state ... -
The psycho-hormonal influence of anaerobic fatigue on semi-professional female soccer players
(Elsevier, 2017)Globally it is assumed that high-intensity activities are the general cause of fatigue experienced during a soccer match. However, little is known about the hormonal and psychological effects of fatigue due to these ... -
Selective breeding for high anxiety introduces a synonymous SNP that increases neuropeptide S receptor activity
(Society for Neuroscience, 2015)Neuropeptide S (NPS) has generated substantial interest due to its anxiolytic and fear-attenuating effects in rodents, while a corresponding receptor polymorphism associated with increased NPS receptor (NPSR1) surface ...
