Environmental Enrichment Facilitates Anxiety in Conflict-Based Tests but Inhibits Predator Threat-Induced Defensive Behaviour in Male Mice
Conclusion: Taken together, our findings suggest that enriched external environments can modify the processing of fear- and anxiety-related stimuli in dangerous situations, changing the decision-making defensive strategy.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Salivary Cortisol Awakening Response as a Predictor for Depression Severity in Adult Patients with a Major Depressive Episode Performing a Daily Exercise Program
Conclusion: The results thus showed that high AUCI values predicted less improvement of depression and high exercise levels predicted more improvement of depression. These findings need to be confirmed in larger samples to test if more covariates can improve prediction of depression severity.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Extrastriatal Dopamine D2/3 Receptor Availability in Alcohol Use Disorder and Individuals at High Risk
Discussion: To our knowledge, the present work is the first study investigating extrastriatal D2/3 receptor availabilities in individuals at HR and patients with AUD. The observation that D2/3 receptor availabilities are highest in HR might suggest that their pathobiology differs from subjects with AUD. Future studies are necessary to clarify the intraindividual course of this biomarker over different disease stages and its possible role as a risk or protective factor.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Levetiracetam as an Adjunctive Treatment for Mania: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Conclusions: Compared to placebo, adjuvant levetiracetam to lithium improved symptoms of mania, as rated by experts, and subjective sleep quality. Adjuvant levetiracetam had no further favorable (or detrimental) impact on cognitive performance.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

The Role of Kynurenines in Cognitive Dysfunction in Bipolar Disorder
Conclusion: Only in the bipolar depression group, lower KYNA was associated with worse cognitive functioning. Future large-scale longitudinal studies are warranted to confirm the role of KYN metabolites in cognitive impairment in patients with BD and the possible therapeutic implications of this relationship.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Impaired Sensorimotor Adaption in Schizophrenia in Comparison to Age-Matched and Elderly Controls
Conclusions: Both explicit and implicit components of sensorimotor adaptation learning were reduced in patients with schizophrenia, adding to the evidence for a role of the cerebellum in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Elderly individuals outperformed schizophrenia patients in the adaptation learning tasks.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

The Effect of Cannabidiol Coated by Nano-Chitosan on Learning and Memory, Hippocampal CB1 and CB2 Levels, and Amyloid Plaques in an Alzheimer ’s Disease Rat Model
Conclusion: It seems that CBD coated by nano-chitosan has good potential for reducing A β plaques, increasing brain CB1 and levels CB2, and improving learning and memory in Alz rats.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

The Association between < b > < i > COMT < /i > < /b > Val158Met Polymorphism and the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Risk: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: The present meta-analysis suggested that theCOMT Val158Met polymorphism may not be associated with the PTSD risk. Further large-scale and population-representative studies are warranted to evaluate the impact of theCOMT Val158Met polymorphism on the risk of PTSD.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Treatment Response and GWAS Risk Allele rs2514218 (C) of the Dopamine D2 Receptor Gene in Inpatients with Schizophrenia
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the risk variant at the DRD2 locus can be used as an indicator for patients ’ responses to antipsychotics without direct DRD2-blocking, thereby shortening the time needed for drug selection.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Autobiographical Script-Driven Imagery Has No Detectable Effect on Emotion Regulation in Healthy Individuals
Discussion: While we replicated previously reported neural correlates of ER, we found no evidence for an effect of mood induction with individualized autobiographical scripts on the neural processes underlying ER in healthy participants.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)
