Chronic Mild Stress (CMS) Revisited: Consistency and Behavioural-Neurobiological Concordance in the Effects of CMS Tập 52 Số 2 - Trang 90-110 - 2005
Paul Willner
The chronic mild stress (CMS) model of depression has high validity but has in
the past been criticized for being difficult to replicate. However, a large
number of recent publications have confirmed that CMS causes behavioural changes
in rodents that parallel symptoms of depression. This review summarizes studies
from over sixty independent research groups that have reported decreases in

Cerebrospinal Cytokine Levels in Patients with Acute Depression Tập 40 Số 4 - Trang 171-176 - 1999

There is increasing evidence for an association between the alteration of
cytokine concentrations in blood and the pathophysiology of depressive
disorders. Studies in humans have not investigated CSF cytokine concentrations
and their relationship to depressive disorders. This study reports on the
association of the CSF concentration of proinflammatory cytokines, IL-1β, IL-6
and TNFα, and major dep... hiện toàn bộ
Partial Normalization of Serum Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Remitted Patients after a Major Depressive Episode Tập 51 Số 4 - Trang 234-238 - 2005

We had previously reported decreased serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor
(BDNF) levels in depressed patients. In the present study, we tested the
hypothesis that antidepressant treatment would normalize serum BDNF levels, at
least in a subgroup of patients. Major depressed patients (15 females and 11
males) diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria and healthy controls (13 females
and 13 males) p... hiện toàn bộ
Stress, Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis and Eating Disorders Tập 57 Số 3 - Trang 95-115 - 2008
Carolina Lo Sauro, Claudia Ravaldi, Pier Luigi Cabras, Carlo Faravelli, Valdo Ricca
The etiopathogenesis of eating disorders (ED) is complex and poorly understood.
Biological, psychological and environmental factors have all been considered to
be involved in the onset and the persistence of these syndromes, often with
conflicting results. The recent literature focused on the possible role of
hormonal pathways, in particular the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis,
as a rele... hiện toàn bộ

Meditation is a specific consciousness state in which deep relaxation and
increased internalized attention coexist. There have been various
neurophysiological studies on meditation. However, the personal
predispositions/traits that characterize the properties of meditation have not
been adequately studied. We analyzed changes in neurophysiological parameters
[EEG coherence and autonomic nervous ac... hiện toàn bộ
Prevalence of Psychiatric Disorders in Thyroid Diseased Patients Tập 38 Số 4 - Trang 222-225 - 1998

Several studies have underlined the high prevalence of psychiatric symptoms and
disorders in thyroid diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
prevalence of psychiatric disorders in 93 inpatients affected by different
thyroid diseases during their lifetimes, by means of a standardized instrument,
i.e., the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Diso... hiện toàn bộ
