Journal ArticleDOI
Lower anxiety and a decrease in agonistic behaviour in Lsamp-deficient mice.
Jürgen Innos,Mari-Anne Philips,Este Leidmaa,Indrek Heinla,Sirli Raud,Paula Reemann,Mario Plaas,Kaarel Nurk,Kaido Kurrikoff,V. Matto,Tanel Visnapuu,Paavo Mardi,Sulev Kõks,Eero Vasar +13 more
TL;DR: The overall phenotype of Lsamp-deficient mice, characterized by decreased anxiety and several alterations in social behaviour, makes them a good model for studying the molecular mechanisms behind inadequate social behaviours observed in several psychiatric disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural cell adhesion molecule Negr1 deficiency in mouse results in structural brain endophenotypes and behavioral deviations related to psychiatric disorders.
Katyayani Singh,Mohan Jayaram,Maria Kaare,Este Leidmaa,Toomas Jagomäe,Indrek Heinla,Miriam A Hickey,Allen Kaasik,Michael K. E. Schäfer,Jürgen Innos,Kersti Lilleväli,Mari-Anne Philips,Eero Vasar +12 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that NEGR1 is required for balancing the ratio of excitatory/inhibitory neurons and proper formation of brain structures, which is prerequisite for adaptive behavioral profiles, and Negr1−/− mice have a high potential to provide new insights into the neural mechanisms of neuropsychiatric disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
8-OH-DPAT, but not deramciclane, antagonizes the anxiogenic-like action of paroxetine in an elevated plus-maze
TL;DR: The 5-HT reuptake inhibitor, paroxetine, at a low dose (0.5 mg/kg) induces an anxiogenic-like action in handling adapted rats, which probably supports a role of both pre- and postsynaptic 5- HT-ergic mechanisms in the anxiogensic action of paroxETine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative Promoter Use Governs the Expression of IgLON Cell Adhesion Molecules in Histogenetic Fields of the Embryonic Mouse Brain
Toomas Jagomäe,Katyayani Singh,Mari-Anne Philips,Mohan Jayaram,Kadri Seppa,Triin Tekko,Scott F. Gilbert,Eero Vasar,Kersti Lilleväli +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that promoter-specific expression of IgLONs is established early during pallial development (at E10.5), where it remains throughout its differentiation through adulthood, and may provide the means for regionally specific functionality as well as for specific regional vulnerabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of limbic system-associated membrane protein (LSAMP) to male completed suicide
TL;DR: The results indicate that LSAMP might play a role in pathoaetiology of suicidal behaviour but further studies are needed to understand its exact contribution.
