Although the mouse (Mus musculus) is preyed upon by many other species of animals, it is also a predator and will hunt and consume crickets. There has been no previous description of how mice learn to hunt and no report on the extent to which they use their hands and mouth to assist prey capture and these were the objectives of the present study. M...

Dopamine (DA) in the striatum is essential to influence motor behavior and may lead to movement impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD). The present study examined the different functions of the DA D1 receptor (D1R) and DA D2 receptor (D2R) by intrastriatal injection of the D1R agonist SKF38393 and the D2R agonist quinpirole in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-...

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious postpartum mental health problem worldwide. However, the cortical structural alterations in patients with PPD remain unclear. This study investigated the cortical structural alterations of PPD patients through multidimensional structural patterns and their potential correlations with clinical severity. High-...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) represents a state of cognitive function between normal cognition and dementia. Longitudinal studies showed that some MCI patients remained in a state of MCI, and some developed AD. The reason for these different conversions from MCI remains to be investigated....

Blending aromatic mixtures components naturally fuse to form a unique odor - a configuration- qualitatively different from each component's odor. Repeated exposure to the components either in the mixture or separately, favors respectively, configural and elemental processings. The neural bases of such processes are still unknown. We examined the br...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) are highly comorbid. Additionally, individual differences in response to stress suggest resilient and susceptible populations. The current study exposed male and female Long Evans rats to the synthetically produced predator odor 2,5-dihydro-2,4,5-trimethylthiazoline (TMT) to exami...

Curcumin has been investigated for the prevention and treatment of diseases due to its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and neuroprotective actions. This current study evaluated the adaptogenic effects of a subchronic oral administration of curcumin to Swiss mice that were submitted to a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) mo...

Regular exercise promotes learning and memory functions. Theta activity is known to relate to various cognitive functions. An increase in theta power may be related to higher cognitive functioning and learning functions. However, evidence is lacking to directly confirm that exercise training can increase the theta activity and promote various cogni...

A large body of literature has demonstrated that prenatal stress (PS) can induce depression-like behavior in the offspring. However, the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. CREB-regulated transcriptional coactivator 1(CRTC1) has recently been shown to involve in mood regulation. This research aims to investigate whether CRTC1 signaling wa...

Depression occurs in around 40 % of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and contributes to severe disability and a poor quality of life. The underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology of depression in PD (PDD) remain obscure, due to a lack of stable animal models of PDD. In this study, we established a PDD model by inducing exposure to chronic mi...
