Open AccessBedside functional monitoring of the dynamic brain connectivity in human neonates
Clinicians have long been interested in functional brain monitoring, as reversible functional losses often precedes observable irreversible structural insults. By characterizing neonatal functional cerebral ne...

Relocation stress induces short-term fecal cortisol increase in Tonkean macaques (Macaca tonkeana)
The level of glucocorticoids, especially if obtained from noninvasive sampling, can be used as an index of animal well-being, allowing evaluation of the animal’s response to environmental modifications. Despit...

Sleep in Prenatally Restraint Stressed Rats, a Model of Mixed Anxiety-Depressive Disorder
Prenatal restraint stress (PRS) can induce persisting changes in individual’s development. PRS increases anxiety and depression-like behaviors and induces changes in the hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axi...

Behavioural and Neuroendocrine Consequences of Prenatal Stress in Rat
Chronic hyperactivation of the hypothalamus–pituitary axis is associated with the suppression of reproductive, growth, thyroid and immune functions that may lead to various pathological states. Although many i...

Chronic agomelatine treatment corrects behavioral, cellular, and biochemical abnormalities induced by prenatal stress in rats
The rat model of prenatal restraint stress (PRS) replicates factors that are implicated in the etiology of anxious/depressive disorders. We used this model to test the therapeutic efficacy of agomelatine, a no...
