TLDR
The potential of the NPS system as a treatment target for addiction is analyzed, with particular attention to the interpretation of findings revealing complex neuroanatomical and functional interactions between NPS, CRF, and the Hcrt-1/Ox-A systems.

Neuropeptide S and BDNF gene expression in the amygdala are influenced by social decision-making under stress.

TL;DR: An interwoven relationship is suggested, linked by social context, between amygdalar BDNF, NPS and plasma corticosterone and submissive animals that chose submissive coexistence.

Neuropeptide S receptor gene variant and environment: contribution to alcohol use disorders and alcohol consumption

TL;DR: In the general population, the NPSR1 Asn107Ile polymorphism is associated with AUD and alcohol consumption, dependent on sex, environment and age, in line with the impulsivity and personality regulating role of the N PSR1.

Intensity of anxiety is modified via complex integrative stress circuitries

TL;DR: Gene expression of NPS and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the central amygdala (CeA), as well as corticosterone secretion, increased concomitantly with the escalating anxious content of the mouse-specific anxiety continuum, suggesting that NPS production was promoted by increasing anxiousness, and that BDNF synthesis was associated with learning about ever-more anxious conditions.

Neuropeptide S and mental health: A functional receptor gene variant and environment shaping traits and contributing to psychiatric disorders

Kariina Laas
Abstract: Hiljutiavastatud neuropeptiid S (NPS) avaldab narilistel omaparast moju, suurendades aktiivsust ja virgust samaaegselt arevuse alandamisega. Inimesel on NPS retseptori geenis NPSR1 funktsionaalne A>T polumorfism (rs324981), mille T-alleeli kooditud retseptorvalk on signaali vahendamisel tohusam. T-alleeli kandlus on seotud suurema virguse, kuid ka paanikahairega, mistottu on T-alleeli hakatud pidama riskialleeliks. Vaitekirjas kajastatud rahvastikupohiste uuringutega loime tasakaalustatuma pildi NPSR1 toimimisest, leides nii soost kui keskkonnast soltuvaid seoseid. Leidsime, et naistel, kellel on madalaima aktiivsusega NPSR1 genotuup, AA, voib juba teismeeas meeleolu ja arevuse regulatsiooniga raskusi olla. Mitteadaptiivsed jooned ilmnesid neil sagedamini just kehvade peresuhete korral, nagu ka suitsiidikatsed 18-ndaks ning arevus- ning meeleoluhaired 25-ndaks eluaastaks. Sagedamini kujunes A-alleeliga naistel valja ka alkoholisoltuvushaire. Seevastu meestel oli NPSR1 T-alleel, eriti TT genotuup, seotud huperaktiivsuse ja impulsiivsusega, ning stressirikkad elusundmused tostsid neid omadusi veelgi rohkem esile. Seetottu pole ullatav, et T-alleeliga meeste hulgas oli oluliselt rohkem soltuvushaireid. Huvitaval kombel raporteerisid sarnaselt naistega alkoholiga liialdamist taiskasvanuna hoopis AA genotuubiga mehed, mis viitab voimalikule taiendavale hilise algusega soltuvuse tekkimise rajale: AA meestel tousid adaptiivne impulsiivsus ja avatus oluliselt 25-ndaks eluaastaks, ning nad olid ka alkoholi kuritarvitamisele vastuvotlikumad. Kas neil ka hiljem soltuvus kujuneb, jaab tuleviku uuringute selgitada. NPSR on huvipakkuv sihtmark ravimiarenduseks, kuna mojutab virgust, emotsionaalseid reaktsioone ja alkoholi kuritarvitamist. AA ja TThomosugootide erinevaid emotsioonide reguleerimise viise on vaja sugavuti tundma oppida.; In this dissertation, we have focused on the functional rs324981 A>T polymorphism of the gene NPSR1 (Asn107Ile) that encodes for the neuropeptide S (NPS) receptor and is a relatively newly identified research target. We have shown that NPSR1 is associated with the development of personality, hyperactivity, anxiety, depressiveness, self-esteem, suicidality, affective/anxiety disorders, alcohol use and alcohol use disorders, and sleep-related measures. We have also found profound NPSR1 genotype by sex interactions in general population. In females, the probable lower NPS-ergic activity in the NPSR1 A-allele carriers, and especially in AA-homozygotes, bears a risk for affective and anxiety-related dysregulation already in adolescence. The risk for developing maladaptive traits is significantly higher in case of adverse family environment. As a consequence, females with the AA genotype had reported suicidal behaviour more frequently and had more often developed affective/anxiety disorders by age 25. Emotion dysregulation may also render them vulnerable to alcohol use, as some females carrying the A-allele develop AUD already in young adulthood. In males, an impulsivity-related early-onset pathway to…

The somatic marker hypothesis and the possible functions of the prefrontal cortex.

TL;DR: The hypothesis rejects attempts to limit human reasoning and decision making to mechanisms relying, in an exclusive and unrelated manner, on either conditioning alone or cognition alone.

The amygdala modulates the consolidation of memories of emotionally arousing experiences

TL;DR: Findings from animal and human studies indicate that the amygdala mediates the memory-modulating effects of adrenal stress hormones and several classes of neurotransmitters and plays a key role in enabling emotionally significant experiences to be well remembered.

Differential expression of orexin receptors 1 and 2 in the rat brain.

TL;DR: The differential distribution of oxin receptors is consistent with the proposed multifaceted roles of orexin in regulating homeostasis and may explain the unique role of the OX2R receptor in regulating sleep state stability.

Addiction and the brain: The neurobiology of compulsion and its persistence

TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed for the possibility that compulsion and its persistence are based on a pathological usurpation of molecular mechanisms that are normally involved in memory, which is often initiated by exposure to drug-related cues.

Orexin A activates locus coeruleus cell firing and increases arousal in the rat

TL;DR: It is shown that the brain region receiving the densest innervation from orexinergic nerves is the locus coeruleus, a key modulator of attentional state, where application of orexIn A increases cell firing of intrinsic noradrenergic neurones and modulates neuroendocrine function.
