mGluR2/3 blockade produces rapid and long-lasting reversal of anhedonia caused by chronic stress exposureJournal of Molecular Psychiatry - Tập 1 - Trang 1-4 - 2013
Jason M Dwyer, Ashley E Lepack, Ronald S Duman
Depression is a prevalent neuropsychiatric disorder that affects an estimated
350 million people worldwide. Currently available treatments for depression are
lacking in both speed of onset and efficacy. Recent pharmacological efforts have
targeted the glutamatergic neurotransmitter system using the
N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist ketamine to produce rapid and
robust antidepressant ... hiện toàn bộ
A systematic review of agomelatine-induced liver injuryJournal of Molecular Psychiatry - Tập 3 - Trang 1-12 - 2015
Silka Dawn Freiesleben, Karolina Furczyk
Agomelatine is an antidepressant with a unique mechanism of action. Since its
marketing in 2009, concerns have been raised regarding its potential to induce
liver injury. The authors therefore address the need to comprehensively evaluate
the potential risk posed by agomelatine of inducing liver injury by reviewing
data from published and unpublished clinical trials in both the pre- and
postmarketi... hiện toàn bộ
Mitochondrial complex I and III gene mRNA levels in schizophrenia, and their relationship with clinical featuresJournal of Molecular Psychiatry - Tập 2 - Trang 1-6 - 2014
Süleyman Akarsu, Deniz Torun, Abdullah Bolu, Murat Erdem, Salih Kozan, Mehmet Ak, Hatice Akar, Özcan Uzun
The etiology of schizophrenia is not precisely known; however, mitochondrial
function and cerebral energy metabolism abnormalities were determined to be
possible factors associated with the etiology of schizophrenia. Impaired
mitochondrial function negatively affects neuronal plasticity, and can cause
cognitive deficits and behavioral abnormalities observed during the clinical
course of schizophre... hiện toàn bộ
αT-catenin in restricted brain cell types and its potential connection to autismJournal of Molecular Psychiatry - Tập 4 - Trang 1-13 - 2016
Stephen Sai Folmsbee, Douglas R. Wilcox, Koen Tyberghein, Pieter De Bleser, Warren G. Tourtellotte, Jolanda van Hengel, Frans van Roy, Cara J. Gottardi
Recent genetic association studies have linked the cadherin-based adherens
junction protein alpha-T-catenin (αT-cat, CTNNA3) with the development of
autism. Where αT-cat is expressed in the brain, and how its loss could
contribute to this disorder, are entirely unknown. We used the αT-cat knockout
mouse to examine the localization of αT-cat in the brain, and we used histology
and immunofluorescenc... hiện toàn bộ
Unified theory of Alzheimer’s disease (UTAD): implications for prevention and curative therapyJournal of Molecular Psychiatry - Tập 4 - Trang 1-52 - 2016
Michael Nehls
The aim of this review is to propose a Unified Theory of Alzheimer’s disease
(UTAD) that integrates all key behavioural, genetic and environmental risk
factors in a causal chain of etiological and pathogenetic events. It is based on
three concepts that emanate from human’s evolutionary history: (1) The
grandmother-hypothesis (GMH), which explains human longevity due to an
evolutionary advantage in... hiện toàn bộ
Genetics and epigenetics of alcohol dependenceJournal of Molecular Psychiatry - Tập 1 - Trang 1-6 - 2013
Vanessa Nieratschker, Anil Batra, Andreas J Fallgatter
Alcohol dependence is a severe and common disorder associated with high
morbidity and mortality rates. Genetic as well as environmental factors are
known to modulate susceptibility to alcohol dependence. There is a growing body
of evidence suggesting that this interaction between the genome and the
environment is mediated by epigenetic mechanisms, e.g. DNA methylation at CpG
sites. Following an in... hiện toàn bộ
