Twenty participants suffering from PMF after an acquired brain injury (ABI; stroke or traumatic brain injury) and 19 healthy controls were recruited and underwent cognitive tests and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) assessments. The results show that the PMF group and controls exhibited different functional brain activation in the frontal cortex, concerning both neural connectivity and activity. More specifically, the PMF group showed higher Global Efficiency and lower Modularity during resting state and when performing the cognitive tasks Digit Symbol Coding and Symbol Search. The groups also differed in peak oxygenated hemoglobin during the BASE task, with lower oxygenation in the PMF group. In addition, the PMF group was significantly slower than the control group in both neutral and incongruent Stroop trials. However, no group differences were observed in neural activity during the Stroop task, and nor were there differences in reactivity or proactivity as measured using the AX-CPT test.

Neonatal mice (C57BL/6 J) were administered ethanol (5.0 g/kg) intraperitoneally from postnatal day 2–8, establishing a third trimester-equivalent alcohol exposure FASD model.

Emerging evidence highlights the pivotal role of neuroinflammation in dPD pathogenesis, particularly the interaction between neuronal pyroptosis and microglial polarization. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) has been implicated in mood regulation and neuroinflammatory processes, yet its role in modulating pyroptosis and microglial polarization remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate neuronal pyroptosis and microglial polarization in dPD pathogenesis and explore the regulation of 5-HT on these processes. A C57BL/6 mouse model of dPD was established using injected intraperitoneally of rotenone to observe changes in body weight, sucrose preference, and exercise time. ELISA and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of relevant proteins and cytokines in the hippocampus. Co-culture experiments with HT22 and BV2 cells were conducted to explore the effect of 5-HT on neuronal pyroptosis and microglial polarization. Rotenone-induced dPD in mice led to reduced body weight, sucrose preference, and activity, accompanied by upregulation of pyroptosis markers (NLRP1, N-GSDMD, Cleaved-caspase-1) and increased M1 microglial polarization. Treatment with 5-HT and the pyroptosis inhibitor Pep19–2.5 reversed these changes, mitigating neuronal pyroptosis and shifting microglial polarization towards a less inflammatory profile. In vitro, 5-HTP suppressed LPS-induced neuronal pyroptosis, reducing TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-18 levels and oxidative stress while preserving microglial viability. The 5-HT inhibitor Scopolamine abolished these effects. Neuronal pyroptosis and M1 microglial polarization contribute critically to dPD pathogenesis. By inhibiting these processes, 5-HT emerges as a promising therapeutic target for managing dPD, offering new insights into its treatment mechanisms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8823,"journal":{"name":"Behavioural Brain Research","volume":"490 ","pages":"Article 115620"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143942360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its role in vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) remains unclear. In this study, BCAS model was established to induce CCH, simulate subcortical white matter lesions, and examine the effect of colchicine on WMLs after BCAS. The basic parameters of body weight and blood pressure were monitored. Behavioral evaluation included the Open Field test, Y maze and Morris Water Maze to evaluate the motor ability and cognitive level of mice respectively. The cerebral blood flow was detected by Laser Speckle Imaging (LSI). Transmission Electron Microscopy, LFB staining, corpus callosum MBP and MAG western blot levels, and mouse brain T2-weighted imaging were used to detect demyelination and white matter changes. The expression of IBA1 was determined by immunohistochemistry and western blot, and the correlation between IBA1 staining and behavioral parameters was analyzed. The expression of brain inflammatory factors was detected by Elisa. It was found that colchicine may alleviates VCI through MAPK/NF-κB pathway by means of network pharmacology enrichment analysis from the perspective of inflammation, and the classical inflammatory proteins TAK1, p38, JNK, and p65 of this pathway were subsequently detected in in vivo and in vitro models. The anti-inflammatory spectrum of colchicine, including IL-1β, IL-6, COX2, CD86 and anti-inflammatory effects, were extensively evaluated by RT-qPCR, western blot, wound healing and transwell tests on BV2 microglia stimulated by low concentration of LPS in vitro.

Vulnerability to stress, influenced by factors such as childhood adversity and personality traits such as neuroticism, increases the probability of MDD. On the other hand, resilience acts as a protective mechanism, reducing stress reactivity and supporting mental health. The main findings suggest that healthy lifestyle habits, including consistent sleep patterns, a balanced diet and regular exercise, play significant roles in increasing resilience and preventing depressive symptoms.

This study investigated the effects of LTCC inhibition on cue-induced cocaine-seeking behavior during abstinence in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Following a 10-day cocaine self-administration and a 14-day forced abstinence period, the rats were tested for cue-induced cocaine-seeking after receiving systemic administration of isradipine, a non-selective LTCC inhibitor (0.0 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg, 0.4 mg/kg, or 1.2 mg/kg, i.p.). Isradipine significantly reduced cue-induced cocaine-seeking in a dose-dependent manner without affecting cocaine-taking or natural reward-taking or seeking behaviors. Notably, these findings in females were comparable to our prior results observed in males, demonstrating that LTCC inhibition selectively attenuates the impact of cocaine-associated cues across sexes.
