Behavioral Changes Over Time Following Ayahuasca Exposure in Zebrafish
The combined infusion of Banisteriopsis caapi stem and Psychotria viridis leaves, known as ayahuasca, has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes. The infusion is rich in N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors, with properties similar to those of serotonin. Despite substantial progress in the development of new drugs to treat anxiety and depression, current treatmen...
متن کاملBrief embryonic strychnine exposure in zebrafish causes long-term adult behavioral impairment with indications of embryonic synaptic changes.
Zebrafish provide a powerful model of the impacts of embryonic toxicant exposure on neural development that may result in long-term behavioral dysfunction. In this study, zebrafish embryos were treated with 1.5mM strychnine for short embryonic time windows to induce transient changes in inhibitory neural signaling, and were subsequently raised in untreated water until adulthood. PCR analysis sh...
متن کاملDevelopmental Deltamethrin Exposure Causes Persistent Changes in Dopaminergic Gene Expression, Neurochemistry, and Locomotor Activity in Zebrafish.
Pyrethroids are commonly used insecticides that are considered to pose little risk to human health. However, there is an increasing concern that children are more susceptible to the adverse effects of pesticides. We used the zebrafish model to test the hypothesis that developmental exposure to low doses of the pyrethroid deltamethrin results in persistent alterations in dopaminergic gene expres...
متن کاملPersistent synaptic activity produces long-lasting enhancement of endocannabinoid modulation and alters long-term synaptic plasticity.
Learning and memory are thought to involve activity-dependent changes in synaptic efficacy such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). Recent studies have indicated that endocannabinoid-dependent modulation of inhibitory transmission facilitates induction of hippocampal LTP and that endocannabinoids play a key role in certain forms of LTD. Here, we show that repetitive ...
متن کاملDevelopmental exposure to a serotonin agonist produces subsequent behavioral and neurochemical changes in the adult male prairie vole.
Autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) are classified as pervasive developmental disorders characterized by abnormalities in various cognitive and behavioral functions. Although exact underlying causes are still unknown, nearly 30% of autistic patients show elevated blood levels of serotonin (5-HT) and, therefore, various genetic and environmental factors that are known to elevate 5-HT levels may p...
