Dopamine (DA), the most abundant human brain catecholaminergic neurotransmitter, modulates key behavioral and neurological processes in young senescent brains, including motricity, sleep, attention, emotion, learning memory, social reward-seeking behaviors. The DA transporter (DAT) regulates transsynaptic levels, influencing all these processes. Compounds targeting DAT (e.g., cocaine amphetamines) were historically used to shape mood cognition, but substances typically lead severe negative...
ABSTRACT In autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental with social-cognitive deficits, macrocephaly occurs in 20% of patients severe symptoms. However, the role ASD pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, we address mechanistic link between and by investigating novel ASD-associated gain-of-function A1877T mutation ASPM ( abnormal spindle-like microcephaly-associated ). is key regulator cortical size cell proliferation expressed both excitatory inhibitory neuronal progenitors but not...
The dopamine-depleting agent tetrabenazine alters effort-based choice, suppressing food-reinforced behaviors with high response requirements, while increasing selection of low-cost options. In the present experiments, rats were tested on a concurrent fixed ratio 5/chow feeding choice task, in which high-carbohydrate Bio-serv pellets reinforced lever pressing and lab chow was concurrently available. Detailed timing monitored an event recording system, temporal characteristics operant behavior...
Prenatal environment has long-lasting effects on offspring development and health. Research prenatal stress identified various mechanisms of these effects, from changes in epigenetic gene expression profiles to Maternal-Placental-Fetal (MPF) biology. There is also evidence for the role additional risk protective factors influencing impact maternal infant outcomes. Considering findings, we present study protocol BABIP, a prospective birth cohort Turkey. The aim project investigate effect MPF...
Chronotype and BDNF Val66Met polymorphism influence awakening cortisol trait anxiety in young adultsChronotype Trait Anxiety:• Some studies associated eveningness with higher [1,2,3], while others did not [4,5]. Awakening Cortisol:• Higher morningness was morning some [6,7] but [8].
