Can you run from your worries? The effects of exercise on anxiety-like behaviour and immune signaling in female and male mice

This study examines how acute and chronic exercise affect anxiety-like behavior and cytokine levels in male and female mice, showing sex-specific and context-dependent effects.

Cross-fostering affects microglia and cell death in the hippocampus of female and male degu pups

This study examines how cross-fostering impacts hippocampal microglia and cell death in degu pups, showing reduced cell death but no effect on dentate gyrus volume or immature neuron density.

Brain aromatase and its relationship with parental experience and behavior in male mice

The paper examines how paternal experience in male mice affects aromatase expression in specific brain regions, linking it to changes in paternal behavior and brain lateralization.

Running to remember: The effects of exercise on perineuronal nets, microglia, and hippocampal angiogenesis in female and male mice

This study examines how chronic treadmill exercise affects perineuronal nets, microglia, and hippocampal angiogenesis in male and female mice, linking these changes to spatial memory performance.

Exploring the parity paradox: Differential effects on neuroplasticity and neuroinflammation by APOEe4 genotype at middle-age

The paper investigates how APOEε4 genotype interacts with parity to affect neuroplasticity and neuroinflammation in middle-aged female rats.

Long-term cellular and molecular signatures of pregnancy in the adult and ageing brain

This study examines long-term effects of pregnancy on brain cellular and molecular changes in rats, finding increased synaptic proteins and altered aging trajectories.

Inflammation in Alzheimer's disease: do sex and APOE matter?

This study examines how sex and APOE genotype influence inflammatory biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease using CSF and plasma data from the ADNI database.

Postpartum fluoxetine increased maternal hippocampal IL-1β and decreased plasma tryptophan: clues for efficacy

This study investigates the effects of postpartum fluoxetine on maternal neuroinflammation and tryptophan metabolism in a rodent model of postpartum depression, finding increased hippocampal IL-1β and reduced plasma tryptophan levels.

Oxytocin has sex-specific effects on social behaviour and hypothalamic oxytocin immunoreactive cells but not hippocampal neurogenesis in adult rats.

This study examines the sex-specific effects of oxytocin on social behavior and hypothalamic oxytocin cells in adult rats, finding no effect on hippocampal neurogenesis.

Selective activation of estrogen receptors α and β: Implications for depressive-like phenotypes in female mice exposed to chronic unpredictable stress

This study investigates how estrogen receptor α and β activation affects depressive-like behaviors in female mice under chronic stress and non-stress conditions.

Androgens enhance adult hippocampal neurogenesis in males but not females in an age-dependent manner

This study shows that dihydrotestosterone increases new neuron survival in young male rats but not in middle-aged males or females.

Premarin has opposing effects on spatial learning, neural activation and serum cytokine levels in middle age dependent on reproductive history

This study shows that Premarin affects spatial learning, neuronal activation, and cytokine levels differently in middle-aged rats based on their reproductive history.
