Identification of biopsychological trait markers in functional neurological disorders

Serafeim Loukas

Weber et al. provide evidence in support of a stress-diathesis model of functional neurological disorders. They identify trauma history in the form of emotional neglect as a psychological risk factor, and reduced hippocampus and amygdala volume as a predis ...

A miR-375/YAP axis regulates neuroendocrine differentiation and tumorigenesis in lung carcinoid cells

Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia, Iacovos Michael

Lung carcinoids are variably aggressive and mechanistically understudied neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Here, we identified and elucidated the function of a miR-375/yes-associated protein (YAP) axis in lung carcinoid (H727) cells. miR-375 and YAP are res ...

Gamma Knife radiosurgery for acromegaly: Evaluating the role of the biological effective dose associated with endocrine remission in a series of 42 consecutive cases

Constantin Tuleasca

Introduction Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a valuable treatment option for persistent and/or recurrent acromegaly secondary to growth hormone (GH) secreting pituitary adenoma (PA). Here, we assess the role of biological effective dose (BED) received b ...

Transsphenoidal resection for pituitary adenoma in elderly versus younger patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Constantin Tuleasca

Introduction Pituitary adenomas (PA) are common intracranial tumors. In the context of the aging of the population, the question is whether postsurgical outcomes are comparable to the younger ones. The primary objective of the present study was to review p ...

Metabolic and hemodynamic changes in the activated human brain and cerebellar organisation measured by MRS/MRl at 7 Tesla

Yohan Boillat

Although less often investigated than the positive blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal, a negative BOLD signal has also been observed under certain conditions, which could have a neuronal origin. To further investigate the negative BOLD signal from ...

Whole-body somatotopic maps in the cerebellum revealed with 7T fMRI

Wietske Van der Zwaag, Yohan Boillat

The cerebellum is known to contain a double somatotopic body representation. While the anterior lobe body map has shown a robust somatotopic organization in previous fMRI studies, the representations in the posterior lobe have been more difficult to observ ...

90 YEARS OF PROGESTERONE Progesterone receptor signaling in the normal breast and its implications for cancer

Cathrin Brisken, Valentina Scabia

Progesterone is considered as the pregnancy hormone and acts on many different target tissues. Progesterone receptor (PR) signaling is important for normal development and the physiologic function of the breast and impinges on breast carcinogenesis. Both s ...

Thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenomas: a systematic review and meta-analysis of postoperative outcomes and management

Katarzyna Pierzchala

PurposeTSH-secreting pituitary adenomas are rare pituitary tumors. An efficient treatment is essential to limit the mortality and morbidity in untreated patients. The aim of this study is to summarize the evidence about the postoperative outcomes and manag ...

High-fat diet consumption alters energy metabolism in the mouse hypothalamus

Rolf Gruetter, João Miguel das Neves Duarte, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Blanca Lizarbe Serra, Jean-René Cardinaux

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: High-fat diet consumption is known to trigger an inflammatory response in the hypothalamus, which has been characterized by an initial expression of pro-inflammatory genes followed by hypothalamic astrocytosis, microgliosis, and the ...

Low vagal tone in two rat models of psychopathology involving high or low corticosterone stress responses

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Damien Sébastien Huzard, Jocelin Grosse, Sriparna Ghosal

The two stress-responsive physiological systems, autonomic nervous system (ANS) and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis exert complementary and interrelated actions in the organism. Individuals that suffer stress-related psychopathologies frequently ...

The Effects of Stimulator, Waveform, and Current Direction on Intracortical Inhibition and Facilitation: A TMS Comparison Study

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Laurijn Rianne Draaisma

Background: Cortical function is dependent on the balance between excitatory and inhibitory influences. In the human motor cortex, surrogates of these interactions can be measured in vivo, non-invasively with double-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation ...

At the Intersection of Microbiota and Circadian Clock: Are Sexual Dimorphism and Growth Hormones the Missing Link to Pathology? Circadian Clock and Microbiota: Potential Egffect on Growth Hormone and Sexual Development

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger

Reciprocal interactions between the host circadian clock and the microbiota are evidenced by recent literature. Interestingly, dysregulation of either the circadian clock or microbiota is associated with common human pathologies such as obesity, type 2 dia ...

Adamts18 Function in Mammary Gland Development

Dalya Ataca

Ovarian hormones control mammary gland development and impinge on breast carcinogenesis acting via their cognate receptors in the luminal epithelium. The extracellular matrix has a key role in physiology and disease but how the two are linked is poorly und ...

Nutritional Ketosis Increases NAD+/NADH Ratio in Healthy Human Brain: An in Vivo Study by 31P-MRS

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Özlem Ipek, Mojgan Masoodi, Nicolas Christinat, Maya Shevlyakova

Ketones represent an important alternative fuel for the brain under glucose hypo-metabolic conditions induced by neurological diseases or aging, however their metabolic consequences in healthy brains remain unclear. Here we report that ketones can increase ...

The link between aberrant hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity during development and the emergence of aggression-Animal studies

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Damien Sébastien Huzard, Sophie Elizabeth Walker

Aggressive behavior is not uniform, including proactive and reactive forms of aggression. Aberrant functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is frequently associated with abnormal aggression. Here, we review the rodent literature in orde ...

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 ...
