Genetic Dissection of the Role of Catechol-O-Methyltransferase in Cognition and Stress Reactivity in Mice

TL;DR: A critical role for the COMT gene is indicated in an apparent evolutionary trade-off between cognitive and affective functions and in the involvement of PFC CaMK pathways in COMT-regulated cognitive function and adaptive stress responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic and Acute Intranasal Oxytocin Produce Divergent Social Effects in Mice

TL;DR: Chronic intranasal OXT treatment in wild-type C57BL/6J adult mice produced a selective reduction of social behaviors concomitant to a reduction of the OXT receptors throughout the brain, indicating that a prolonged over-stimulation of a ‘healthy’ oxytocinergic brain system results in specific detrimental effects in social behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of dysbindin in dopamine receptor trafficking and cortical GABA function

TL;DR: It is suggested that dysbindin regulates PFC function by facilitating D2-mediated modulation of GABAergic function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dysbindin-1 modulates prefrontal cortical activity and schizophrenia-like behaviors via dopamine/D2 pathways

TL;DR: Dysbindin's modulation of D2-related behavior, cortical activity and mPFC CaMK components is elucidated, implicating cellular and molecular mechanisms of the association of dysbindin with psychosis.
