Journal ArticleDOI

Association of FKBP5 polymorphisms and childhood abuse with risk of posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms in adults.

TL;DR: There were no main effects of the SNPs on PTSD symptoms and no significant genetic interactions with level of non-child abuse trauma as predictor of adult PTSD symptoms, suggesting a potential gene-childhood environment interaction for adult PTSD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Allele-specific FKBP5 DNA demethylation mediates gene-childhood trauma interactions

TL;DR: It is found that a functional polymorphism altering chromatin interaction between the transcription start site and long-range enhancers in the FK506 binding protein 5 gene increased the risk of developing stress-related psychiatric disorders in adulthood by allele-specific, childhood trauma–dependent DNA demethylation in functional glucocorticoid response elements of FKBP5.
Journal ArticleDOI

Information coding in the olfactory system: Evidence for a stereotyped and highly organized epitope map in the olfactory bulb

TL;DR: Evidence is obtained that information highly distributed in the nose is transformed in the olfactory bulb of the brain into a highly organized spatial map, which is in essence an epitope map, whose approximately 1000 distinct components are used in a multitude of different combinations to discriminate a vast array of different odors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A zonal organization of odorant receptor gene expression in the olfactory epithelium

TL;DR: The spatial distribution of odorant receptor RNAs in the mouse olfactory epithelium is examined to gain insight into the organizational strategies underlying this discriminatory capacity, suggesting that the nasal cavity is divided into a series of expression zones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive enhancers as adjuncts to psychotherapy: use of D-cycloserine in phobic individuals to facilitate extinction of fear.

TL;DR: These pilot data provide initial support for the use of acute dosing of DCS as an adjunct to exposure-based psychotherapy to accelerate the associative learning processes that contribute to correcting psychopathology.
