This study investigates how minocycline affects contextual fear memory in rats, showing sex-dependent differences in its impact on memory reconsolidation, extinction, and forgetting.

This paper reviews sex differences in latent inhibition, finding inconclusive evidence but suggesting sex differences in hippocampal processing and vulnerability to perturbations.

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.

This study examines behavioural impairments in heterozygous Dlg2 mice, finding deficits in long-term motor learning and habituation but not motor coordination or anxiety.

This study shows that reduced DLG2 expression in rats impairs hippocampal synaptic integration and plasticity, which can be reversed by muscarinic M1 receptor agonists.

This study characterizes the Dlg2 haploinsufficiency rat model, finding reduced PSD-93 expression and specific behavioral changes linked to psychosis vulnerability without other deficits.

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

This study shows early life stress impairs social function and increases AVP expression, which can be mitigated by an AVP receptor antagonist in animal models and correlates with emotional recognition in BPD patients.

This study shows that enhancing ERK2 signalling protects neurons and improves memory in mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases.

The paper examines the dynamic expression of risk genes for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder across developmental stages in brain regions, finding distinct expression patterns between the two disorders.
