Journal ArticleDOI

Acute and chronic restraint stress alter the incidence of social conflict in male rats

TL;DR: It is indicated that acute and chronic restraint stress alter the incidence of aggression, and the relevance of this model of chronic stress to studies of stress-responsive disorders characterized by aggressive behavior is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced brain 5-HT and elevated NE turnover and metabolites in bipolar affective disorder

TL;DR: The data suggest that decreased 5-HT metabolite levels and turnover may be common to all mood disorders, and increased cortical NE turnover, however, may be a more important component in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain structural signature of familial predisposition for bipolar disorder: Replicable evidence for involvement of the right inferior frontal gyrus

TL;DR: Brain structural changes in BD may result from interplay between illness burden and compensatory processes, which may be enhanced by lithium treatment, which could aid in identification of subjects at risk for BD even before any behavioral manifestations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk and Resilience Markers in Bipolar Disorder: Brain Responses to Emotional Challenge in Bipolar Patients and Their Healthy Siblings

TL;DR: Common changes with emotional challenge were identified in bipolar patients and their healthy siblings, and the siblings' unique increases in the medial frontal cortex appear to identify a compensatory response in this at-risk group, suggesting a potential marker of bipolar risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decreased brain [3H]inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate binding in Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor binding sites were studied in autopsied brains from 10 subjects with dementia of the Alzheimer type and 10 age-matched controls, demonstrating abnormalities beyond the muscarinic receptor recognition site in DAT.
