A New, Blue Gene Highlights Glutamate and Hippocampus in Depression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Depression is a common and debilitating psychiatric syndrome with a complex risk architecture marked by interacting genetic and environmental factors. In this issue of Neuron, the study by Kohli et al. (2011) reports a novel genome-wide supported risk variant for depression that affects hippocampal gene expression, anatomy, and biochemistry.

Introduction: In the present study, the effect of inhibition of glutamate NMDA receptors located in the dorsal hippocampus on the maintenance of anxiety and depression like behaviors induced by electric foot shock stress was investigated. Materials and Methods: NMARI male mice were divided into two categories. The first category received electro foot shock for 30 minutes after injection of mema...

Background & Aims : Spreading depression is a pathophysiological phenomenon that is initiated by a self-propagating depolarization wave with a short-term excitability and is followed immediately by an inhibitory phase and then continues with a long-term secondary excitability. Spreading depression has a critical role in many disorders such as migraine and seizures . The purpose of this stud...

Objective(s): Development of the nervous system in human and most animals is continued after the birth. Critical role of this period in generation and specialization of the neuronal circuits is confirmed in numerous studies. Any pharmacological intervention in this period may result in structural, functional or behavioral abnormalities. In this study, sodium thiopental a GABA mimetic drug was a...

Epilepsy is a complex neurological disorder that affects around 1%of the world’s population.it affects the neural cells of the CA1 and CA3 regions of the brain's hippocampus that causes behavioral disorders. The use of medicinal herbs for the treatment of epilepsy has long been common, but these effectors have been less successful. According to glutamate theory, the cause of epilepsy is t...

Background: Depression, as one of the most prevalent and disabling disorders in the world, has a complex and yet not well-known pathophysiology. Genetic, hormonal, neurotransmitter, inflammatory and neurodegenerative theories are all responsible. Studies show that depression leads to structural changes in the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, anterior cingulate, and basal bodies. Hippoc...
