Neuropeptides, a diverse class of signaling molecules in the nervous system, modulate
various biological effects including membrane excitability, synaptic transmission and …

In the mammalian brain, cortical interneurons (INs) are a highly diverse group of cells. A key
neurophysiological question concerns how each class of INs contributes to cortical circuit …

Abstract NMDA receptor (NMDAR) and GABA neuronal dysfunctions are observed in animal
models of autism spectrum disorders, but how these dysfunctions impair social cognition …

The field of neuroscience has largely overlooked the impact of motherhood on brain function
outside the context of responses to infant stimuli. Here, we apply spectral dynamic causal …

Social isolation is a risk factor for multiple mood disorders. Specifically, social isolation can
remodel the brain, causing behavioral abnormalities, including sociability impairments …

(1) Objective: Considering that current knowledge of mechanisms involved in the molecular
pathogenesis of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is limited, we conducted a systematic review …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has anxiolytic-like effects and facilitates the extinction of cued and
contextual fear in rodents. We previously showed that intracerebroventricular administration …

Background Previous research has shown that metabotropic glutamate receptor-5 (mGluR5)
signaling is significantly involved in social avoidance. We investigated the relationship …

Social avoidance in rodents arises from a complex interplay between the prefrontal cortex
and subcortical structures, such as the ventromedial hypothalamus and the dorsal …
