Cannabinoid CB2 receptor‐mediated analgesia: mechanism‐based insights and therapeutic potential

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Agonists of the cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptor have shown promise for the treatment of pain in a variety of animal models. However, despite current preclinical evidence supporting the use of CB2 agonists for pain, successful translation of findings from preclinical models to human patients is lacking.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Four Decades of Shareholder Activism Research

Corporate Governance: An International Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research Questions/Issue In this bibliometric review of shareholder activism literature spanning 1983–2021, we pursue two objectives. Firstly, we investigate the degree of interdisciplinarity in the field, and second, we scrutinize publication trends, foundational knowledge, core topics, and emerging thematic trends, exploring the trajectory ...

Regulating the Plasticity of Hippocampal Neurons via Electroacupuncture in Depression Model Mice

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
This study explores the regulation of the plasticity of hippocampal neurons via electroacupuncture in corticosterone‐induced depression model mice. Electroacupuncture at the Zusanli (ST36) acupoint alleviated depression‐like symptoms and enhanced neuronal plasticity in the hippocampal CA1 region by upregulating BDNF and CaMKIIβ, highlighting its ...

Strategic Flip‐Flopping in Political Competition

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study candidates' position adjustments in response to information about voters' preferences. Repositioning allows candidates to move closer to the median voter, but it incurs financial and electoral costs. In a subgame‐perfect equilibrium, candidates diverge from the center ex ante if the costs of adjustment are sufficiently large.

Litter sex composition influences plasma prolactin levels but not the melanin‐concentrating hormone immunoreactive neurons in the medial preoptic area of late lactating Long‐Evans rats

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Influence of litter sex composition on maternal prolactin levels and MCH‐immunoreactive (MCH‐ir) neurons in the vmMPOA of lactating rats. The sex ratio of litters affects maternal physiology, specifically increasing prolactin levels and altering weight gain patterns, while food and water intake and MCH‐ir neuron counts remain unchanged.

Disrupted circadian rhythms and opioid‐mediated adverse effects: Bidirectional relationship and putative mechanisms

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent studies have shown a link between disrupted circadian rhythms and the development of chronic opioid‐induced negative effects. Both animal and human studies show a significant bidirectional relationship between the circadian system and opioid effects.

Stress alters hypothalamic gene expression in adolescent male Golden hamsters

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract In Golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus), a two‐week exposure to chronic social stress in adolescence causes acceleration of agonistic behavior, enhanced adult aggression, impaired waiting impulsivity, and higher food intake, body fat, and long‐term increased body weight.

Reproductive experience influences the effects of Lactocaseibacillus rhamnosus HN001 on gut microbiota and hippocampal plasticity in female rats

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing interest in the role of probiotics in supporting maternal well‐being throughout female reproduction. However, it remains largely unknown whether the brain of a female with reproductive experience responds differently to probiotics compared to females without reproductive experience.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging of taxonomic and thematic processing of abstract and concrete word pairs

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study used fMRI to examine the effect that the abstract‐concrete dimension may have on the thematic‐taxonomic distinction. The dual hub theory (DHT) posits that left angular gyrus supports thematic relationships and left temporal pole supports taxonomic relationships; however, the DHT is largely based on evidence from concrete words.

Spontaneous Strategies Used During Novel Word Learning

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract This online study examined spontaneous strategies of English‐speaking adults during associative word learning, the relationship of these strategies with learning outcomes and within‐task evolution of strategy use. Participants were to learn to name 14 object–pseudoword pairs across five successive encoding/recall blocks, followed by delayed ...
