PS abnormalities have been observed in neuropsychiatric illnesses, including schizophrenia. However, the neurophysiological basis of these abnormalities remains unknown. To investigate this question, in this study, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were collected while individuals with psychotic disorders (PD; n = 37) and demographically-matched healthy control (HC) subjects (n = 60) viewed images of faces moving towards or away from them. Responses of a frontoparietal-subcortical network of brain regions were measured to the approaching versus the withdrawing face stimuli, and resting-state fMRI data were also collected. PS size was measured using the classical Stop Distance Procedure. As expected, the PD group demonstrated a significantly larger PS compared to the HC group (<i>P</i> = 0.002). In both groups, a network of parietal and frontal cortical regions showed greater approach-biased responses, whereas subcortical areas (the striatum, amygdala and hippocampus) showed greater withdrawal-biased responses. Moreover, within the PD (but not the HC) group, approach-biased activation of the inferior parietal cortex (IPC) and functional connectivity between the IPC and the ventral/limbic striatum were significantly correlated with PS size. This study provides evidence that PS abnormalities in psychotic illness involve disrupted function and connectivity of the PS network.

However, fear memories can differ between healthy individuals and those previously exposed to traumatic stress, such as a car accident, sexual abuse, military combat and personal assault.

PTSD-like animal models are exposed to a single highly stressful experience in the laboratory, such as stress immobilization or single-prolonged stress. Some days later, animals exposed to a PTSD-like model can be tested in fear procedures that help uncover molecular mechanisms of fear memories. In this review, there are discussed the molecular mechanisms in stress-induced fear memories of patients with PTSD and PTSD-like animal models. The focus is on the effects of estradiol and cortisol/corticosterone hormones and of different genes, such as FKBP prolyl isomerase 5 gene (FKBP5) - FK506 binding protein 51 (FKBP51), pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) - pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide type I receptor (PAC1R), endocannabinoid (eCB) system and the tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB) - brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

Here, we investigated the vulnerability of memory and emotional circuits to Aβ and tau pathologies in mice expressing mutant human amyloid precursor protein (APP), Tau or both APP/Tau in excitatory neurons. APP/Tau mice develop age- and sex-dependent Aβ and phosphorylated tau pathologies, the latter exacerbated at early stages, in vulnerable brain regions. Early memory deficits were associated with hippocampal tau pathology in Tau and APP/Tau mice, whereas anxiety and fear appeared linked to intracellular Aβ in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) of APP and APP/Tau mice. Transcriptome hippocampal profiling revealed gene changes affecting myelination and RNA processing in Tau mice, and inflammation and synaptic-related pathways in APP/Tau mice at 6 months. At 9 months, we detected common and region-specific changes in astrocytic, microglia and 63 AD-associated genes in the hippocampus and BLA of APP/Tau mice. Spatial learning deficits were associated with synaptic tau accumulation and synapse disruption in the hippocampus of Tau and APP/Tau mice, whereas emotional disturbances were linked to Aβ pathology but not synaptic tau in the BLA. Interestingly, Aβ and tau exhibited synergistic detrimental effects in long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus but they counteract with each other to mitigate LTP impairments in the amygdala.

Here, we tested for association of twenty-seven genes involved in orexin signaling with behavioral phenotypes in humans. We tested the full gene set, functional subsets, and individual genes involved in orexin signaling. Our primary phenotype of interest was Externalizing, a composite factor comprised of behaviors and disorders associated with reward-seeking, motivation, and behavioral regulation. We also tested for association with additional phenotypes that have been related to orexin regulation in model organism studies, including alcohol consumption, problematic alcohol use, daytime sleepiness, insomnia, cigarettes per day, smoking initiation, and body mass index. The composite set of 27 genes corresponding to orexin function was highly associated with Externalizing, as well as with alcohol consumption, insomnia, cigarettes per day, smoking initiation and BMI. In addition, all gene subsets (except the <i>OXR2/HCRTR2</i> subset) were associated with Externalizing. BMI was significantly associated with all gene subsets. The “validated factors for <i>PPOX</i>/<i>HCRT</i>” and “<i>PPOX</i>/<i>HCRT</i> upregulation” gene subsets also were associated with alcohol consumption. Individually, 8 genes showed a strong association with Externalizing, 12 with BMI, 7 with smoking initiation, 3 with alcohol consumption, and 2 with problematic alcohol use, after correction for multiple testing. This study indicates that orexin genes are associated with multiple behaviors and disorders related to self-regulation in humans.
