Open AccessActivation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors reduces the acquisition of aggression-like behaviors in male mice
Aggression is a complex social behavior, which is provoked in the defense of limited resources including food and mates. Recent advances show that the gut-brain hormone ghrelin modulates aggressive behaviors. ...

Open AccessThe effect of intranasal oxytocin on visual processing and salience of human faces
The mechanisms underlying the role of oxytocin (OT) as a regulator of social behavior in mammals are only partly understood. Recently, it has been proposed that OT increases the salience of social stimuli. We ...

Open AccessOxytocin Receptors Regulate Social Preference in Zebrafish
With a strong tendency to socialise, the zebrafish is a useful model to study social behaviour, with implications for better treatments of social impairments, for instance in autism spectrum disorders. Althoug...

Open AccessProteomic analyses of limbic regions in neonatal male, female and androgen receptor knockout mice
It is well-established that organizational effects of sex steroids during early development are fundamental for sex-typical displays of, for example, mating and aggressive behaviors in rodents and other specie...

Open AccessEffects of sex and gonadectomy on social investigation and social recognition in mice
An individual’s ability to recognise and pay attention to others is crucial in order to behave appropriately in various social situations. Studies in humans have shown a sex bias in sociability as well as soci...

Open AccessAssociation study between autistic-like traits and polymorphisms in the autism candidate regions RELN, CNTNAP2, SHANK3, and CDH9/10
Autistic-like traits (ALTs) are continuously distributed in the general population, with the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at the upper extreme end. A genetic overlap has been shown between ALTs and ASD, indi...

Serotonin depletion counteracts sex differences in anxiety-related behaviour in rat
Numerous studies suggest (1) that a major physiological role of brain serotonin-containing neurons is to modulate sex steroid-driven behaviour such as sex and aggression, (2) that sex steroids influence brain ...

Open AccessColocalization of connexin 36 and corticotropin-releasing hormone in the mouse brain
Gap junction proteins, connexins, are expressed in most endocrine and exocrine glands in the body and are at least in some glands crucial for the hormonal secretion. To what extent connexins are expressed in n...

Do polymorphisms in transcription factors LMX1A and LMX1B influence the risk for Parkinson’s disease?
The key symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) are caused by degeneration of dopamine neurons originating in substantia nigra. Whereas, transcription factor LMX1A is crucial for the differentiation of mesencepha...

COMT Gene Polymorphism Is Associated with Declarative Memory in Adulthood and Old Age
Variation in memory performance is to a large extent explained by genes. In the prefrontal cortex, the catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene is essential in the metabolic degradation of dopamine, a neurotra...

Open AccessMonoamine related functional gene variants and relationships to monoamine metabolite concentrations in CSF of healthy volunteers
Concentrations of monoamine metabolites in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) have been used extensively as indirect estimates of monoamine turnover in the brain. CSF monoamine metabolite concentrations are partl...
