چکیده
s | 91 Methods: Forty-five right-handed patients with PD who met the diagnostic criteria in Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-V and twenty-two healthy control were examined by means of MRI at 3 Tesla. We used the FreeSurfer software package to create a three-dimensional model of the cortical surface for estimating the cortical thickness. In order to test the effect of the gene polymorphism on the brain cortical thickness, we were evaluated their candidate gene polymorphisms of 5-HTTLPR, HTR1A, COMT, BDNF and RGS. We examined between-group differences in cortical thickness using a 2 × 2 analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to control age, gender, and education. Results: We found scores of cortical thickness of PD is significantly lower than those of HC in temporal pole(p=0.000) and insula(p=0.000). Furthermore, analyses of covariance controlling for age, gender and education showed an interaction effects of the genes polymorphisms-by-panic disorder on paralimbic area. 5-HTTLPR rs25531(p=0.011, Lt, temporal pole; p=0.011, Lt, insula), HTR1A rs6295(p=0.007, Lt, temporal pole; p=0.002; Lt, insula; p=0.031, Lt, rostral anterior cingulate), BDNF rs6265 (p=0.012, Lt, temporal pole; p=0.002; Lt, insula), COMT rs4680 (p=0.000, Lt, temporal pole; p=0.001; Lt, insula), RGS2 rs4606(p=0.009, Lt, temporal pole; p=0.009; Lt, insula; p=0.034).

Effects of Systemic Administration of Oxytocin on Contextual Fear Extinction in a Rat Model of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Introduction: One of the hallmark symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the impaired extinction of traumatic memory. Single prolonged stress (SPS) has been suggested as an animal model of PTSD, since SPS rats exhibited the impaired fear extinction. Oxytocin (OXT) has been recently suggested as a potential pharmacotherapy for treatment of PTSD. In this study, using SPS rats we inve...
متن کاملArtificial Theta Stimulation Impairs Encoding of Contextual Fear Memory
Several experiments have demonstrated an intimate relationship between hippocampal theta rhythm (4-12 Hz) and memory. Lesioning the medial septum or fimbria-fornix, a fiber track connecting the hippocampus and the medial septum, abolishes the theta rhythm and results in a severe impairment in declarative memory. To assess whether there is a causal relationship between hippocampal theta and memo...

Background and purpose: Kindling is an animal model of epilepsy induced by repeated stimulation of the brain. The amygdala has been the focus of interest due to large part to its role in epilepsy induction and in fear conditioning in both human and rats. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether low electrical stimulation of foot pad of rats during fear can facilitate amygdala...
متن کاملA study on fear memory retrieval and REM sleep in maternal separation and isolation stressed rats.
As rapid brain development occurs during the neonatal period, environmental manipulation during this period may have a significant impact on sleep and memory functions. Moreover, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep plays an important role in integrating new information with the previously stored emotional experience. Hence, the impact of early maternal separation and isolation stress (MS) during the...
متن کاملUse of Colchicine in Cortical Area 1 of the Hippocampus Impairs Transmission of Non-Motivational Information by the Pyramidal Cells
Colchicine, a potent neurotoxin derived from plants, has been recently introduced as a degenerative toxin of small pyramidal cells in the cortical area 1 of the hippocampus (CA1). In this study, the effect of the alkaloid in CA1 on the behaviors in the conditioning task was measured. Injections of colchicine (1,5 μg/rat, intra-CA1) was performed in the male Wistar rats, while the animals were s...
