Bipolar Disorder
Curr Opin Neurobiol. 2023 Dec;83:102801. doi: 10.1016/j.conb.2023.102801. Epub 2023 Oct 27.ABSTRACTThis review focuses on recent advances made towards understanding the neurobiology of bipolar disorder (BD), a chronic neuropsychiatric illness characterized by altered mood and energy states. The past few years have seen the completion of the largest genetic studies by far, which have emphasized the polygenic nature of BD as well as it's connection to other psychiatric illnesses. Furthermore, the use of inducible pluripotent stem cells has rapidly expanded. These studies support previous work that implicates dysregulation of...

Cells, pathways, and models in dyskinesia research
Curr Opin Neurobiol. 2024 Jan 6;84:102833. doi: 10.1016/j.conb.2023.102833. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTL-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) is the most common form of hyperkinetic movement disorder resulting from altered information processing in the cortico-basal ganglia network. We here review recent advances clarifying the altered interplay between striatal output pathways in this movement disorder. We also review studies revealing structural and synaptic changes to the striatal microcircuitry and altered cortico-striatal activity dynamics in LID. We furthermore highlight the recent progress made in understanding the invo...

The epigenome under pressure: On regulatory adaptation to chronic stress in the brain
Curr Opin Neurobiol. 2023 Dec 22;84:102832. doi: 10.1016/j.conb.2023.102832. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic stress (CS) can have long-lasting consequences on behavior and cognition, that are associated with stable changes in gene expression in the brain. Recent work has examined the role of the epigenome in the effects of CS on the brain. This review summarizes experimental evidence in rodents showing that CS can alter the epigenome and the expression of epigenetic modifiers in brain cells, and critically assesses their functional effect on genome function. It discusses the influence of the developmental time of str...
