Habits are repetitive behaviors that become ingrained with practice, routine, and repetition.The more we repeat an action, the stronger our habits become.Behavioral clinical neuroscientists have increasingly interested in this topic because may contribute to aspects of maladaptive human behavior, such as compulsive behavior psychiatry.Numerous studies demonstrated can be induced otherwise healthy rats by simply overtraining stimulus-response behaviors.However, despite growing interest its...
Abstract Ketamine and deep brain stimulation produce rapid antidepressant effects in humans rodents. An increased AMPA receptor (AMPA-R) signaling medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been suggested to mediate these responses. However, little research addressed the direct of enhancing glutamate tone or AMPA-R mPFC subdivisions. The current study investigates behavioral neurochemical consequences transporter-1 (GLT-1) blockade s-AMPA microinfusion infralimbic (IL) prelimbic (PrL) cortex. Owing...
Glutamatergic neurotransmission has emerged as a novel target in antidepressant drug development, with critical role of the ventral anterior cingulate cortex. We recently reported that blockade astrocytic glutamate transporter GLT-1 dihydrokainic acid infralimbic cortex (rodent equivalent cortex), but not adjacent prelimbic cortex, evoked robust antidepressant-like effects through α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic receptor activation and increased serotonin...
High levels of intolerance uncertainty (IU) could contribute to abnormal decision making in uncertain situations. Patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) often report high IU, indecisiveness and the need seek greater certainty before decisions. The Beads task is a commonly used assessing degree information gathering prior so would be predicted show impairments OCD patients. Results date have found mixed support for this, possibility due methodological issues. Here, group patients...
