Reduced gene dosage of the psychiatric risk gene Cacna1c is associated with impairments in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in rats

Anna L. Moon, Eleanor R. Mawson, Patricia Gasalla…·Jérémy Hall

This study shows that reduced Cacna1c gene dosage in rats leads to HPA axis dysfunction and anxiety, suggesting a potential mechanism for psychiatric disorder risk.

Complement C3 and C3aR mediate different aspects of emotional behaviours; relevance to risk for psychiatric disorder

Laura Jayne Westacott, Trevor Humby, Niels Haan…·Lawrence S. Wilkinson

This study shows that complement components C3 and C3aR differentially affect innate anxiety and conditioned fear in mice, linking complement pathways to psychiatric disorder risk.

Neurotrophin receptor activation rescues cognitive and synaptic abnormalities caused by mutation of the psychiatric risk gene Cacna1c

Cezar M. Tigaret, Tzu‐Ching E. Lin, Edward Morrell…·Jérémy Hall

The paper shows that activating neurotrophin receptors with BDNF mimetics can rescue cognitive and synaptic deficits caused by Cacna1c mutations in rats.
