The prevalence of inflammatory diseases is increasing in modern urban societies. Inflammation increases risk stress-related pathology; consequently, immunoregulatory or antiinflammatory approaches may protect against negative outcomes. We show that stress disrupts the homeostatic relationship between microbiota and host, resulting exaggerated inflammation. Repeated immunization with a heat-killed preparation Mycobacterium vaccae, an environmental microorganism, reduced subordinate, flight,...
Serotonergic systems arising from the mid-rostrocaudal and caudal dorsal raphe nucleus (DR) have been implicated in facilitation of anxiety-related behavioral responses to anxiogenic drugs or aversive stimuli. In this study we attempted determine a threshold engage serotonergic neurons DR following exposure conditions an test. We manipulated intensity stimuli studies male Wistar rats by leaving them undisturbed (CO), briefly handling (HA), exposing open-field arena for 15-min under low-light...
