Early postnatal events exert powerful effects on development, inducing persistent functional alterations in different brain network, such as the catecholamine prefrontal–accumbal system, and increasing risk of developing psychiatric disorders later life. However, a vast body literature shows that interaction between genetic factors early environmental conditions is crucial for expression psychopathologies adulthood. We evaluated long-lasting repeated cross-fostering (RCF) procedure 2 inbred...
Hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) refers to all clinical conditions characterized by increased amounts of phenylalanine (PHE) in blood and other tissues. According their PHE concentrations under a free diet, hyperphenylalaninemic patients are commonly classified into phenotypic subtypes: classical phenylketonuria (PKU) (PHE > 1200 µM/L), mild PKU 600-1200 µM/L) persistent HPA 120-600 (normal < 120 µM/L). The current treatment for is aimed keep levels within the safe range 120-360 µM/L through...
Since the discovery of “countertransference”, it was recognized that therapist’s personality plays an important role in determining course psychotherapy. However, systematic empirical works on this topic have been sparse compared to enormous amount theoretical literature. Therefore, following pilot study, emotional profile psychotherapists investigated using Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales (ANPS), a quantitative measure basic foundations human based Jaak Panksepp’s...
