Open AccessThe BDNF Val66Met polymorphism regulates glucocorticoid-induced corticohippocampal remodeling and behavioral despair
The BDNF Val66Met polymorphism has been associated with sensitivity to stress and affective disorders. We therefore sought to model the inter-causality of these relationships under controlled laboratory condit...

Open AccessDissociating the therapeutic effects of environmental enrichment and exercise in a mouse model of anxiety with cognitive impairment
Clinical evidence indicates that serotonin-1A receptor (5-HT1AR) gene polymorphisms are associated with anxiety disorders and deficits in cognition. In animal models, exercise (Ex) and environmental enrichment (E...

The BDNF gene Val66Met polymorphism as a modifier of psychiatric disorder susceptibility: progress and controversy
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has a primary role in neuronal development, differentiation and plasticity in both the develo** and adult brain. A single-nucleotide polymorphism in the proregion of ...

Open AccessAnalyzing the influence of BDNF heterozygosity on spatial memory response to 17β-estradiol
The recent use of estrogen-based therapies as adjunctive treatments for the cognitive impairments of schizophrenia has produced promising results; however the mechanism behind estrogen-based cognitive enhancem...

Open AccessLocomotor hyperactivity in 14-3-3ζ KO mice is associated with dopamine transporter dysfunction
Dopamine (DA) neurotransmission requires a complex series of enzymatic reactions that are tightly linked to catecholamine exocytosis and receptor interactions on pre- and postsynaptic neurons. Regulation of do...

Neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric behaviour defects arise from 14-3-3ζ deficiency
Complex neuropsychiatric disorders are believed to arise from multiple synergistic deficiencies within connected biological networks controlling neuronal migration, axonal pathfinding and synapse formation. He...

Phospholipase C-β1 knockout mice exhibit endophenotypes modeling schizophrenia which are rescued by environmental enrichment and clozapine administration
Phospholipase C-β1 (PLC-β1) is a rate-limiting enzyme implicated in postnatal-cortical development and neuronal plasticity. PLC-β1 transduces intracellular signals from specific muscarinic, glutamate and serotoni...

Enhanced effect of dopaminergic stimulation on prepulse inhibition in mice deficient in the alpha subunit of Gz
Gz is a member of the Gi G protein family associated with dopamine D2-like receptors; however, its functions remain relatively unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate prepulse inhibition (PPI) of...
