Psychotropic Drugs in the Aged

Comprehensive Psychiatry, 1977
Abstract Psychological disorders in the aged can be (largely) a result of anatomical brain lesions; but they can also be (largely) of a “functional” nature. In the latter case, deterioration of brain tissue plays no important etiological role, or is a process which merely triggers the complex of psychological disorders.

Electroencephalographic Normalization as a Biomarker of Clinical Recovery in Down Syndrome Regression Disorder

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Down syndrome regression disorder is a syndrome characterized by subacute loss of cognitive, behavioral, and functional abilities in individuals with Down syndrome. Electroencephalography abnormalities are frequently observed during evaluation, but it remains unclear whether these findings represent a dynamic marker of disease ...

Neuronal excitation-inhibition imbalance in the basolateral amygdala is involved in propofol-mediated enhancement of fear memory

Communications Biology
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with glutamatergic neuron hyperactivation in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) brain area, while GABAergic interneurons in the BLA modulate glutamatergic neuron excitability.

GABAB receptor activation contributes to post-surgery cognitive impairments in mice by inducing hippocampal BDNF hypermethylation

Annals of Medicine
Background Clinical observations have shown that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression is reduced in patients with impaired cognitive function after anaesthesia and surgery. Abnormal epigenetic changes may contribute to this condition.

On the metapharmacology of psychotropic drugs

Comprehensive Psychiatry, 1965
Summary We have proposed psychoanalytic metapsychology as a useful explanatory tool for investigation of drug effects upon the psychic apparatus. All six metapsychological points of view: (1) genetic; (2) dynamic; (3) topographic; (4) structural; (5) economic; (6) adaptive, were brought to bear upon the psychic events in connection with drug use ...

Paternal Caffeine Exposure Programs Offspring Stress Vulnerability via Sperm Dlk1‐Dio3 Imprinting‐Directed Remodeling of a Novel Neural Circuit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study elucidates that paternal preconception stress can drive offspring hyperresponsivity of the stress system via hypomethylation of a specific DNA region in sperm. This key link is confirmed in a cohort of prospective fathers: the epigenetic alteration is associated with elevated stress hormone levels.

Melatonin Levels in 89 Individuals With Smith Magenis Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In patients with Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS), an inverted circadian rhythm of melatonin (MT) contributes to the sleep disturbance. Standard treatment of sleep disturbance with MT often leads to extremely high daytime MT levels, resulting in even more sleep disorders. We therefore retrospectively evaluated the MT data of 89 SMS patients.
