Insights into the role of noradrenaline in effortful decisions.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2022
To maintain homeostasis, our brain tracks the effort exerted during decision-making. A new study in PLOS Biology shows that the activity of noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus (LC) reflects the effort exerted to face cognitive or physical ...

D1/D5 receptor activation promotes long‐term potentiation and synaptic tagging/capture in hippocampal area CA2

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Activation of dopamine receptor D1 (D1R) stimulates PKA and ERK pathways via dissociation of stimulatory and olfactory G protein alpha subunits (Gαs/olf). PKA relieves striatal‐enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase (STEP) inhibition of ERK, promoting cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element‐binding protein (CREB)‐driven transcription of ...

Human brain evolution and the "Neuroevolutionary Time-depth Principle:" Implications for the Reclassification of fear-circuitry-related traits in DSM-V and for studying resilience to warzone-related posttraumatic stress disorder. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The DSM-III, DSM-IV, DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10 have judiciously minimized discussion of etiologies to distance clinical psychiatry from Freudian psychoanalysis.

Regulation of PHOX2B gene expression by the long non‐coding natural antisense RNA PHOX2B‐AS1

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
PHOX2B is a transcription factor essential for autonomic nervous system development. We identify and characterize PHOX2B‐AS1, a human long non‐coding antisense transcript at the PHOX2B locus, along with its murine counterpart. Our findings reveal bidirectional transcription and reciprocal regulation: PHOX2B activates PHOX2B‐AS1, whereas PHOX2B‐AS1 ...

Locus Coeruleus and Dopamine-Dependent Memory Consolidation

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2017
Most everyday memories including many episodic-like memories that we may form automatically in the hippocampus (HPC) are forgotten, while some of them are retained for a long time by a memory stabilization process, called initial memory consolidation ...

Altered expression of glutamate signaling, growth factor, and glia genes in the locus coeruleus of patients with major depression. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Several studies have proposed that brain glutamate signaling abnormalities and glial pathology have a role in the etiology of major depressive disorder (MDD).

Early affective changes and increased connectivity in preclinical Alzheimer's disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
IntroductionAffective changes precede cognitive decline in mild Alzheimer's disease and may relate to increased connectivity in a "salience network" attuned to emotionally significant stimuli.

Chronic insomnia, REM sleep instability and emotional dysregulation: A pathway to anxiety and depression?

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary The world‐wide prevalence of insomnia disorder reaches up to 10% of the adult population. Women are more often afflicted than men, and insomnia disorder is a risk factor for somatic and mental illness, especially depression and anxiety disorders.

Noradrenergic-dependent functions are associated with age-related locus coeruleus signal intensity differences

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Alterations of locus coeruleus signal intensity have been associated with functional changes in health and disease. Here, the authors tested a pre-registered hypothesis on a large number of subjects as part of the Cam-CAN consortium.
