    Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Increases the Release of Dopamine in the Nucleus Accumbens Shell of Morphine-Sensitized Rats During Abstinence

    Recent studies in rodents have shown that withdrawal from chronic drug abuse is associated with a significant decrease in dopamine (DA) release in mesolimbic structures, especially in the shell region of the n...

    Mutagenesis and Knockout Models: Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenocortical System

    Hyperactivity of central neuropeptidergic circuits such as the corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and vasopressin (AVP) neuronal systems is thought to play a causal role in the etiology and symptomatology o...

    Challenge Studies in Anxiety Disorders

    In psychiatry, the use of pharmacological challenges in panic disorder is unique in that the clinical phenomenon of central interest (i.e., the panic attack) can be provoked readily and assessed in the clinica...

    Corticotropin-releasing factor, vasopressin and receptor systems in depression and anxiety

    Affective disorders tend to be chronic and life-threatening diseases: suicide is estimated to be the cause of death in 10–15% of individuals with major depressive disorders. Major depression is one of the most...

    The GABA transporter 1 (SLC6A1): a novel candidate gene for anxiety disorders

    Recent evidence suggests that the GABA transporter 1 (GAT-1; SLC6A1) plays a role in the pathophysiology and treatment of anxiety disorders. In order to understand the impact of genetic variation within SLC6A1...

    TMEM132D, a new candidate for anxiety phenotypes: evidence from human and mouse studies

    The lifetime prevalence of panic disorder (PD) is up to 4% worldwide and there is substantial evidence that genetic factors contribute to the development of PD. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TMEM13...
