Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The impacts of may be beyond respiratory system, also affecting mental health. Several factors involved in association between COVID-19 and psychiatric outcomes, such as fear inherent pandemic, adverse effects treatments, well financial stress social isolation. Herein we discuss growing evidence suggesting that relationship SARS-CoV-2 host trigger changes brain behavior. Based on similarity...
<i>Objective:</i> During postnatal development, retinotectal projections undergo a process of misplaced axon elimination, leading to topographical matching between the retinal surface and superior colliculus. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in development plasticity nervous system. We studied expression role MMPs during normal after monocular enucleation-induced plasticity. <i>Material Methods:</i> Lister hooded rats at different ages received...
The use-dependent specification of neural circuits occurs during post-natal development with a conspicuous influence environmental factors, such as malnutrition that interferes the major steps brain maturation. Serotonin (5-HT), derived exclusively from essential aminoacid tryptophan, is involved in mechanisms and plasticity central nervous system. We studied effects nutritional restriction tryptophan uncrossed retinotectal axons following retinal lesion to contralateral retina critical...
The development of retinotectal pathways form precise topographical maps is usually completed by the third postnatal week. Cytokines participate in and plasticity nervous system. We have previously shown that vivo treatment with interleukin 2 disrupts retinocollicular order early stages development. Therefore, we decided to study effect a single intravitreous injection IL-6 upon circuitry neonates juvenile rats.Lister Hooded rats received an (50 ng/ml) or vehicle (PBS) at either day (PND)10...
Discussing substance abuse, licit or not, requires dynamism when it comes to adolescents. Games are a powerful tool bring the subject up for discussion. Here we describe collaborative board game designed address this using current neuroscience knowledge about neurophysiology of (drug) addiction. The highlights action 22 neuroactive drugs, classified into following groups: (1) depressants; (2) hallucinogens; (3) stimulants and (4) others (anabolic steroids prescription drugs). In addition,...
The serotonin transporter (5-HTT) regulates homeostasis and has been used as a target for different drugs in depression treatment. Although the serotonergic system received lot of attention, little is known about effects these over transporters. In this work, we investigated expression pattern 5-HTT during development visual influence fluoxetine on signaling pathways. Our data showed that gradual increase from postnatal day 0 until 42 decrease afterwards. Moreover, chronic treatment both...
One of the effects current COVID-19 pandemic is that low-income countries were pushed further into extreme poverty, exacerbating social inequalities and increasing susceptibility to drug use/abuse in people all ages. The risks abuse may not be fully understood by members society, partly because taboo nature subject, considerable gap between scientific production/understanding communication such knowledge public at large. Drug use a major challenge development leading cause school dropout...
Talking about someone else’s life is an interesting topic for a group conversation. Sometimes it can turn into gossip! We often think of gossip as something negative, and certainly be! Gossip even be part bullying. But have you ever thought whether might also play positive role in our lives? In this article, we will tell some research on why people gossip, how help to build social bonds. explain the complex network actions that happen brain every time participate gossip. Hopefully learn...
