Cortisol to Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate Ratio and Executive Function in Bipolar Disorder
Conclusions: This is the first study to assess memory and executive function in BD in relation to DHEA-S and cortisol to DHEA-S ratio. We report an association of cortisol to DHEA-S ratio with worse performance in planning in bipolar I patients, which warrants further investigation.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

DHEA Moderates the Impact of Childhood Trauma on the HPA Axis in Adolescence
Conclusions: Results suggest that DHEA can limit the blunting of the HPA axis in response to childhood maltreatment. However, this protective effect was not reflected in high DHEA/cortisol ratios as predicted. Therefore, high DHEA and high DHEA/cortisol ratios may reflect different, and potentially opposite, processes.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Affectionate Touch in the Context of Breastfeeding and Maternal Depression Influences Infant Neurodevelopmental and Temperamental Substrates
Background: While numerous studies have demonstrated maternal depression ’s influence on infant brain development, few studies have examined the changes that occur as a consequence of co-occurring experiential factors that affect quality of mother and infant affectionate touch as well as infant temperament and neurophysiological systems. The aim of the study was to exa mine the interactive effects of maternal depression and breastfeeding on mother and infant affectionate touch and infant temperament and cortical maturation patterns across early development.Methods: 113 mothers and their infants participated when infants ...

Relationship of Hair Cortisol with History of Psychosis, Neuropsychological Performance and Functioning in Remitted Later-Life Major Depression
Conclusion: This study is the first to examine HCC in psychotic depression. The results do not support the hypothesis that impaired neuropsychological performance, and everyday function in remitted psychotic depression is due to a sustained elevation of cortisol.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Theta-Burst Stimulation Is Able to Impact Cognitive Processing: A P300 and Neuropsychological Test Study
Conclusion: Our results suggest that P300 and specific Stroop colour and words test parameters can be similarly influenced by the same TBS protocol. This emphasizes the importance of mixed evaluation using neuropsychological and neurophysiological resources in research associated with the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation and cognition.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Association of Serotonin Transporter Gene (5-HTTLPR/rs25531) Polymorphism with Comorbidities of Panic Disorder
Conclusion: Some anxiety and personality traits can be characterized by the tri-allelic gene effect of 5-HTTLPR. These results suggest that tri-allelic 5-HTTLPR genotypes have genetic effects on the presence of comorbidities of PD.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Possible Involvement of the IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 Pathway in the Hypothalamus in Depressive-Like Behavior of Rats Exposed to Chronic Mild Stress
Conclusions: The IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 pathway may be activated in depression, and targeting this pathway may provide a novel effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of depression.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Temperament Profiles of Children and Adolescents with Psychotic and Mood Disorders
Conclusions: (1) Both age groups of children with psychotic disorders had significantly lower scores on the scales of physical endurance, tempo, plasticity, and self-satisfaction, in comparison to healthy controls; the psychotic group aged 5 –11 had also lower scores on the impulsivity scale, whereas the psychotic group 12–17 had lower scores on the social endurance and social tempo scales and higher neuroticism. (2) Teens with mood disorders had lower scores on the self-confidence-satisfaction scale and higher scores on the impulsi vity scale, in comparison to controls. (3) No difference between IVF and naturally conc...

Butyrate Rescues Oxidative Stress-Induced Transport Deficits of Tryptophan: Potential Implication in Affective or Gut-Brain Axis Disorders
Conclusions:Gut microbiota-derived butyrate may have therapeutic potential in affective disorders characterized by either aberrant serotonergic activity or neuroinflammation due to its role in rescuing the oxidative stress-induced perturbations of tryptophan transport.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)

Maternal Immune Activation with H1N1 or < b > < i > Toxoplasma gondii < /i > < /b > Antigens Induces Behavioral Impairments Associated with Mood Disorders in Rodents
Conclusion: These results suggest that immunological responses to H1N1 orT. gondii during pregnancy may impact differently the susceptibility of adult offspring to mood disorder.Neuropsychobiology (Source: Neuropsychobiology)
