Influence of childhood trauma on the treatment outcomes of pharmacological and/or psychological interventions for adolescents and adults with bipolar disorder: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Despite available pharmacological and psychological treatments, remission rates for bipolar disorder remain relatively low. Current research implicates the experience of childhood trauma as a potential moderator of poor treatment outcomes among individuals with bipolar disorder. To date, the evidence reporting the infl...

Evaluating Cerebrovascular Reactivity during the Early Symptomatic Phase of Sport Concussion.
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) indexes the ability of blood vessels to respond to vasoactive stimuli and may be a sensitive biomarker of concussion. However, alterations in whole-brain CVR remain poorly understood during the early symptomatic phase of injury. In this study, CVR was assessed using blood-oxygenation-le...

Creatine supports propagation and promotes neuronal differentiation of inner ear progenitor cells.
Long-term propagation of inner ear-derived progenitor/stem cells beyond the third generation and differentiation into inner ear cell types has been shown to be feasible, but challenging. We investigated whether the known neuroprotective guanidine compound creatine (Cr) promotes propagation of inner ear progenitor/stem ...

Biophysical mechanisms underlying the membrane trafficking of synaptic adhesion molecules.
Adhesion proteins play crucial roles at synapses, not only by providing a physical trans-synaptic linkage between axonal and dendritic membranes, but also by connecting to functional elements including the pre-synaptic neurotransmitter release machinery and post-synaptic receptors. To mediate these functions, adhesion ...

Influence of postnatal glucocorticoids on hippocampal-dependent learning varies with elevation patterns and administration methods.
Recent interest in the lasting effects of early-life stress has expanded to include effects on cognitive performance. An increase in circulating glucocorticoids is induced by stress exposure and glucocorticoid effects on the hippocampus likely underlie many of the cognitive consequences. Here we review studies showing ...

The dopamine theory of addiction: 40 years of highs and lows.
For several decades, addiction has come to be viewed as a disorder of the dopamine neurotransmitter system; however, this view has not led to new treatments. In this Opinion article, we review the origins of the dopamine theory of addiction and discuss the ability of addictive drugs to elicit the release of dopamine in...

Persistent reduction of hippocampal glutamine synthetase expression after status epilepticus in immature rats.
Mesiotemporal sclerosis (MTS), the most frequent form of drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy, often develops after an initial precipitating injury affecting the immature brain. To analyse early processes in epileptogenesis we used the juvenile pilocarpine model to study status epilepticus (SE)-induced changes in expr...

Functional reorganization during the recovery of contralesional target selection deficits after prefrontal cortex lesions in macaque monkeys.
Visual extinction has been characterized by the failure to respond to a visual stimulus in the contralesional hemifield when presented simultaneously with an ipsilesional stimulus (Corbetta and Shulman, 2011). Unilateral damage to the macaque frontoparietal cortex commonly leads to deficits in contralesional target sel...

Inhibition of Cdc42 and Rac1 activities in pheochromocytoma, the adrenal medulla tumor.
Altered Rho GTPase signaling has been linked to many types of cancer. As many small G proteins, Rho GTPases cycle between an active and inactive state thanks to specific regulators that catalyze exchange of GDP into GTP (Rho-GEF) or hydrolysis of GTP into GDP (Rho-GAP). Recent studies have shown that alteration takes p...

A review of ketamine in affective disorders: current evidence of clinical efficacy, limitations of use and pre-clinical evidence on proposed mechanisms of action.
Recent research has seen low-dose ketamine emerge as a novel, rapid-acting antidepressant. Ketamine, an N-methy-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, leads to effects on the glutamatergic system and abnormalities in this neurotransmittor system are present in depression. This article aims to (1) review the clinical l...
