In contrast to male rats, aggression in virgin female rats has been rarely studied. Here, we established a rat model of enhanced females using combination social isolation and aggression-training specifically investigate the involvement oxytocin (OXT) arginine vasopressin (AVP) systems within lateral septum (LS). Using neuropharmacological, optogenetic, chemogenetic as well microdialysis approaches, revealed that OXT release ventral LS (vLS), combined with reduced AVP dorsal (dLS), is...
Abstract In addition to investigating sexual function in rats that display normal ejaculatory behaviour, studying are either ‘hyposexual’ or ‘hypersexual’ may provide important insights into the aetiology of dysfunctions men, such as premature and retarded ejaculation. To this end, were matched groups ‘sluggish’, ‘normal’ ‘rapid’ ejaculators based on their ejaculation frequencies displayed a series weekly behaviour tests. Selecting parameter revealed large stable differences other parameters...
The quantification of salivary oxytocin (OXT) concentrations emerges as a helpful tool to assess peripheral OXT secretion at baseline and after various challenges in healthy clinical populations. Both positive social interactions stress are known induce secretion, but the relative influence either these triggers is not well delineated. Choir singing an activity improve mood feelings closeness, may therefore be used investigate effects experiences on system activity. We quantified cortisol...
Abstract Background Most epidemiological studies show a decrease of internalizing disorders at older ages, but it is unclear how the prevalence exactly changes with age, and whether there are different patterns for symptoms traits, men women. This study investigates impact age sex on point across mood anxiety disorders, symptoms, neuroticism. Methods We used cross-sectional data 146 315 subjects, aged 18–80 years, from Lifelines Cohort Study, Dutch general population sample. Between 2012...
