Psychology researchers have long attempted to identify educational practices that improve student learning. However, experimental research on these is often conducted in laboratory contexts or a single course, which threatens the external validity of results. In this article, we establish an paradigm for evaluating benefits recommended across variety authentic contexts—a model call ManyClasses. The core feature examine same question and measure effect many classes spanning range topics,...
The study focuses on the complex interconnection of race, sexuality, and socioeconomic background in shaping stories mothers struggling with addiction disorders as they attempt to recover from traumatic experiences. A sample 45 was employed study. Using case analysis methodologies, 6 were used representative cases based their individual characteristics, community settings, institutional Further, describe difficulties experienced by participants across 3 major life transitions: (1) childhood...
The current study investigated the independent and combined effects of caffeine taurine on anxiety-like behavior neuroendocrine responses in adult zebrafish (Danio rerio). Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylpurine-2,6-dione), world's most commonly used psychoactive drug, acts as an adenosine receptor blocker a mild central nervous system stimulant. However, excessive use is associated with heightened anxiety levels. Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid), semi-essential amino acid synthesized within...
In recent years, the zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) has become a popular model to study mechanisms of physiological and behavioral effects stress, due similarity in neural structures biochemical pathways between mammals. Previous research this vertebrate animal demonstrated an increase whole-body cortisol resulting from acute (30-second) net handling but it remains unclear whether such stressor will concomitantly anxiety-like behavior. addition, as previous examined adult after brief period...
<title>Abstract</title> The reproducibility crisis in bioscience, characterized by inconsistent study results, impedes our understanding of biological processes and global collaborative studies offer a unique solution. This is the first collaboration using zebrafish (Danio rerio) novel tank test, behavioral assay for anxiety-like responses. We analyzed data from 20 laboratories worldwide, focusing on housing conditions experimental setups. Our included 488 adult zebrafish, tested 5 min,...
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often associated with significant neuroendocrine dysfunction and a variety of other symptoms. Today, there are limited efficacious treatment options for PTSD, none which directly target the observed hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The development new pharmacological treatments expensive time consuming; thus, utility in repurposing compounds already approved use conditions. One medication particular that has shown promise alleviation PTSD...
Increasing evidence suggests that multiple factors can produce effects on the immature brain are distinct and more long-lasting than those produced in adults. The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is a region integral to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis affected by anxiety, depression, drugs used treat these disorders, yet receptor signaling mechanisms operative hypothalamus prior maturation remain be elucidated. In peripubertal male rats, systemic injection of selective...
Exposure to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during development may elicit long-term neuroadaptive changes that could alter the basal regulation of stress-associated physiological and behavioral processes later in life. Currently, effects juvenile fluoxetine exposure rodent models appear be dependent on developmental window targeted as well duration drug exposure. The zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) model is rapidly becoming a useful tool pharmacological research can used help...
The current study investigated whether collaborative quizzing impacted quiz performance, overall grades, exam pass/fail rates, and attendance in upper-level psychology courses. Students enrolled two sections of courses completed quizzes, whereas students noncollaborative quizzes individually. the classes maintained performance from beginning to end semester, demonstrated a general decline grades. There was also slight increase course grades for compared classes; however, there no difference...

Chronic treatment with clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant drug, reduces symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and can influence the activity hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. However, little is known regarding effects acute clomipramine on immediate expression stress responses. Serotonergic drugs elicit surfacing, behavioral profile potentially related to toxicity in fish, although surfacing has not yet been observed after exposure. The present study investigated impact...
In adult rats, serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) receptor activation produces heterologous desensitization of 2A (5-HT2A) neuroendocrine function at 1 h that persists up to 72 h. This study determined whether prolonged 5-HT1A/5-HT2A cross-talk exists before sexual maturation. Adolescent male rats (postnatal day 39) received an injection with saline or (+)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin hydrobromide [(+)8-OH-DPAT] 24 receiving a challenge saline, hydrobromide,...
Students often request study guides; however, the impact of guides on student learning is mixed. Here, some evidence guide usage and collaborative briefly reviewed. This information helped to shape development a activity where groups create their own questions based chapter outcomes. Requiring students collaborate may encourage higher engagement with deeper processing course content.
