Background: It has long been known that thyroid disease can lead to changes in energy metabolism, thermoregulation, and anxiety behavior. While these actions have partially attributed hormone receptor α1 (TRα1) action brain, the precise neuroanatomical substrates remained elusive. Methods: We used PET-CT scans identify brain regions affected by hormone. Then we inhibited TRα1 signaling specifically most region, zona incerta, a still mysterious region previously implicated thermogenesis anxiety. To this end an adeno-associated virus (AAV) expressing dominant-negative TRα1R384C wild-type mice phenotyped animals. Finally, tyrosine hydroxylase-Cre test contribution of incerta dopaminergic neurons. Results: Our data showed AAV-mediated inhibition increased expenditure at thermoneutrality, while body temperature regulation unaffected. Moreover, circulating glucocorticoid levels were increased, mild habituation problem was observed open field test. No effects when selectively Conclusions: findings suggest altered is not involved regulation, but affect basal metabolism modulates stress responses.

The microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis is a complex communication network linking the gut, microbiota, and brain, influencing various aspects of health disease. Dysbiosis, disturbance in gut microbiome equilibrium, can significantly impact MGB axis, leading to alterations microbial composition function. Emerging evidence highlights connection between microbiota neurological psychiatric disorders, including depression. This review explores potential psychobiotics managing depressive emphasizing their role restoring balance axis. Psychobiotics exhibit positive effects on intestinal barrier, immune response, cortisol levels, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) Studies suggest that probiotics may serve as an adjunct therapy for depression, especially treatment-resistant cases. discusses key findings from studies interventions, gut-brain mental health. increasing acceptance expanded concept underscores importance microorganisms well-being. As our understanding microbiome's disease grows, emerge promising agents addressing issues, providing new avenues therapeutic interventions disorders.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disabling psychological characterized by chronic symptoms of intrusiveness, avoidance, and hyperarousal after traumatic event. Retrospective studies have indicated PTSD increases the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) including arrhythmia, hypertension, myocardial infarction. The goal this study was to: 1) use murine model cued fear conditioning (inescapable foot shock, IFS) to develop scoring method distinguish PTSD-like phenotype, 2) system characterize cardiac phenotype function in mice with extreme behaviors. We compared 3 groups, controls, non-responders (NR), at 2 time points [4-weeks 8-weeks post-IFS] compare left ventricular structure function. Assessment showed both male female had increased isovolumetric relaxation post-IFS, whereas only females demonstrated E/e', atrial diameter, decreased ejection fraction control mice. Female also interstitial fibrosis through picrosirius red staining expression fibrotic genes Col3a1 Lox. Overall, our data that displaying behavioral characteristics associated present sex-dependent diastolic dysfunction likely due, least part, an activation fibrosis.

Introduction: Depression is a complex psychiatric disorder with substantial societal impact. While current antidepressants offer moderate efficacy, their adverse effects and limited understanding of depression’s pathophysiology hinder the development more effective treatments. Amidst this complexity, role neuroinflammation, recognized but poorly understood associate depression, has gained increasing attention. This study investigates hydroxytyrosol (HT), an olive-derived phenolic antioxidant, for its antidepressant anti-neuroinflammatory properties based on mitochondrial protection. Methods: In vitro studies neuronal injury models, protective effect HT ultrastructure from inflammatory damage was investigated in combination high-resolution imaging substructures. animal depressive-like behaviors chronic restraint stress (CRS) mice unpredictable mild (CUMS) rats were examined to investigate alleviating HT. Targeted metabolomics RNA-Seq CUMS used analyze potential pathways Results: protected damage, thus exerting neuroprotective models. Moreover, reduced exposed CRS CUMS, respectively. HT’s influence model included hippocampal modulating cytokine production, dysfunction, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling. revealed neurotransmitter levels tryptophan-kynurenine metabolism. data underscored mechanism through BDNF/TrkB signaling pathways, key nerve fiber functions, myelin formation, microglial differentiation, neural regeneration. Discussion: The findings underscore as treatment shedding light relevance nutritional psychiatry. Further investigations are warranted comprehensively delineate mechanisms optimize clinical application depression treatment.

Negative memories engage a brain and body-wide stress response in humans that can alter cognition behavior. Prolonged responses induce maladaptive cellular, circuit, systems-level changes lead to pathological states corresponding disorders which mood memory are affected. However, it is unclear if repeated activation of cells processing negative induces similar phenotypes mice. In this study, we used an activity-dependent tagging method access neuronal ensembles assess their molecular characteristics. Sequencing engrams mice revealed positive (male-to-female exposure) (foot shock) upregulated genes linked anti- pro-inflammatory responses, respectively. To investigate the impact persistent engrams, chemogenetically activated them ventral hippocampus over 3 months conducted anxiety memory-related tests. engram increased behaviors both 6- 14-month-old mice, reduced spatial working older impaired fear extinction younger heightened generalization age groups. Immunohistochemistry microglial astrocytic structure number hippocampus. summary, lasting cellular behavioral abnormalities offering insights into effects chronic thinking-like on human health.

Compromised mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) activities are associated with depression in humans and rodents. However, the effects of enhancement ETC on remain elusive. We recently reported that an extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) as low 10 μT induced hormetic activation complexes human/mouse cultured cells mouse livers. Chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) for consecutive days caused behavioral defects mimicking mice, using ELF-EMF two to six weeks ameliorated them.
