Stress, Depression, and Neuroplasticity: A Convergence of Mechanisms

Christopher Pittenger, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: Greater appreciation of the convergence of mechanisms between stress, depression, and neuroplasticity is likely to lead to the identification of novel targets for more efficacious treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain

Verneri Anttila, +720 more
- 22 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in the general population, the personality trait neuroticism is significantly correlated with almost every psychiatric disorder and migraine, and it is shown that both psychiatric and neurological disorders have robust correlations with cognitive and personality measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders

Phil Lee, +606 more
- 12 Dec 2019 - 
TL;DR: Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci within genes that show heightened expression in the brain throughout the lifespan, beginning prenatally in the second trimester, and play prominent roles in neurodevelopmental processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of the symptom structure of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Michael H. Bloch, +4 more
- 01 Dec 2008 - 
TL;DR: A four-factor structure explained a large proportion of the heterogeneity in the clinical symptoms of OCD and further item-level factor analyses are needed to determine the appropriate placement of miscellaneous somatic and checking OCD symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reversible Inhibition of CREB/ATF Transcription Factors in Region CA1 of the Dorsal Hippocampus Disrupts Hippocampus-Dependent Spatial Memory

Christopher Pittenger, +7 more
- 25 Apr 2002 - 
TL;DR: These experiments represent the first targeting of the dorsal hippocampus in genetically modified mice and confirm a role for CREB in hippocampus-dependent learning and suggest that some experimental forms of plasticity bypass the requirement forCREB.
