Alterations in brain microstructure in rats that develop abnormal aggression following peripubertal stress

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Sophie Elizabeth Walker

Exposure to early adversity is implicated in the development of aggressive behaviour later in life in some but not all individuals. The reasons for the variability in response to such experiences are not clear but may relate to pre‐existing individual diff ...

GABA A receptors in the ventral tegmental area control the outcome of a social competition in rats

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Michael van der Kooij, Ioannis Zalachoras

Social dominance can be attained through social competitions. Recent work in both humans and rodents has identified trait anxiety as a crucial predictor of social competitiveness. In addition, the anxiolytic GABAA positive modulator, diazepam, injected eit ...

High anxiety trait: A vulnerable phenotype for stress-induced depression

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Meltem Weger

A great deal of research aims to identify risk factors related to individual vulnerability to develop stress-induced psychopathologies. Here, we summarize evidence that point at anxiety trait as a significant contributor to inter-individual differences in ...

Multi-Robot Coordination in Dynamic Environments Shared with Humans

Alcherio Martinoli, Zeynab Talebpour

This work addresses multi-robot coordination in social human-populated environments based on a Hoplites-based framework for solving the multi-robot task allocation problem. Humans are considered in the proposed coordination mechanism by means of accounting ...

Amygdala GluN2B-NMDAR dysfunction is critical in abnormal aggression of neurodevelopmental origin induced by St8sia2 deficiency

Graham Knott, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Johannes Gräff, Jocelin Grosse, Olivia Zanoletti, Simone Astori, Elias Georges Gebara, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut, Catherine Maclachlan, Wei Tang, Bianca Ambrogina Silva, Alexandre Claude Gustave Bacq

Aggression is frequently observed in neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, autism, and bipolar disorder. Due to a lack of understanding of its underlying mechanisms, effective treatments for abnormal aggression are still missing. ...

In the pursuit of the fear engram: identification of neuronal circuits underlying the treatment of anxiety disorder

Ossama Mohamed Salah El-Dien El-Sayed Ibrahim Khalaf

Fear and other anxiety disorders are extraordinarily robust and difficult to treat. Among the most effective treatments for anxiety disorders are exposure-based therapies, during which a patient is repeatedly confronted with the originally fear-eliciting s ...

In vivo neurochemistry of the ventral striatum and social competition in Homo sapiens

Alina Veronika Irene Strasser

Ventral striatal function and trait anxiety have been shown to influence reward-seeking behaviour and social competition in humans. Moreover, social status perceptions have been shown to modulate ventral striatal function. The neurochemical underpinnings o ...

Hierarchical status predicts behavioral vulnerability and nucleus accumbens metabolic profile following chronic social defeat stress

Rolf Gruetter, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Hongxia Lei, Antoine Timothée Cherix, João Pedro de Matos Rodrigues, Thomas Didier Larrieu, Maria Aranzazu Duque Moreno

Extensive data highlight the existence of major differences in individuals’ susceptibility to stress [1; 2; 3 ; 4]. While genetic factors [5 ; 6] and exposure to early life stress [7 ; 8] are key components for such neurobehavioral diversity, intriguing ob ...

Constitutive differences in habituation of the glucocorticoid response to stress are related to variation in aggression and anxiety-related behaviors

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Olivia Zanoletti, Marie-Isabelle Guillot de Suduiraut, Sophie Elizabeth Walker

Glucocorticoids coordinate responses that enable an individual to cope with stressful challenges and, additionally, mediate adaptation following cessation of a stressor. There are important individual differences in the magnitude of glucocorticoid responsi ...
