The hippocampal-prefrontal pathway: The weak link in psychiatric disorders?

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The H-PFC pathway is a potentially crucial element of the pathophysiology of several psychiatric diseases, and it offers a specific target for therapeutic intervention, which is consistent with the recent emphasis on reframing psychiatric diseases in terms of brain circuits.

Hippocampal GABAergic Inhibitory Interneurons.

TL;DR: An overview of the current state of the field of interneuron research, focusing largely on the hippocampus, discusses recent advances related to the various cell types, including their development and maturation, expression of subtype-specific voltage- and ligand-gated channels, and their roles in network oscillations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Comprehensive Overview on Stress Neurobiology: Basic Concepts and Clinical Implications.

TL;DR: The identification of neuronal circuits of stress, as well as their interaction with mediator molecules over time is critical, not only for understanding the physiological stress responses, but also to understand their implications on mental health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glutamate and Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Systems in the Pathophysiology of Major Depression and Antidepressant Response to Ketamine

TL;DR: Future studies in depression will require a combination of neuroimaging approaches from which more biologically homogeneous subgroups can be identified, particularly with respect to treatment response biomarkers of glutamatergic modulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prefrontal-Hippocampal Interactions in Memory and Emotion.

TL;DR: Bidirectional interactions between the HPC and mPFC are involved in working memory, episodic memory and emotional memory in animals and humans and how dysfunction in bidirectional HPC-mPFC pathways contributes to psychiatric disorders is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hippocampal-Prefrontal Interactions in Cognition, Behavior and Psychiatric Disease.

TL;DR: The goal of this review is to summarize what is known about the role of hippocampal-prefrontal interactions in normal brain function and compare how these interactions are disrupted in schizophrenia patients and animal models of the disease.

The Brain's Default Network Anatomy, Function, and Relevance to Disease

TL;DR: Past observations are synthesized to provide strong evidence that the default network is a specific, anatomically defined brain system preferentially active when individuals are not focused on the external environment, and for understanding mental disorders including autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression.

TL;DR: It is suggested that disrupting focal pathological activity in limbic-cortical circuits using electrical stimulation of the subgenual cingulate white matter can effectively reverse symptoms in otherwise treatment-resistant depression.

Physiology and Neurobiology of Stress and Adaptation: Central Role of the Brain

TL;DR: As an adjunct to pharmaceutical therapy, social and behavioral interventions such as regular physical activity and social support reduce the chronic stress burden and benefit brain and body health and resilience.

Are the Dorsal and Ventral Hippocampus Functionally Distinct Structures

TL;DR: Behavior, anatomical, and gene expression studies that together support a functional segmentation into three hippocampal compartments are reviewed, finding gene expression in the dorsal hippocampus correlates with cortical regions involved in information processing, while genes expressed in the ventral hippocampus correlate with regions involved with emotion and stress.
