Ignácio, Zuleide M.; Réus, Gislaine Z.; Abelaira, Helena M.; Maciel, Amanda L.; Moura, Airam B. de; Matos, Danyela; Demo, Júlia P.Stress in early life has been appointed as an important phenomenon in the onset of depression and poor response to treatment with classical antidepressants. Furthermore, childhood trauma triggers epigenetic changes, which are associated with the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD).

Effects of ketamine administration on mTOR and reticulum stress signaling pathw...
Abelaira, Helena M.; Réus, Gislaine Z.; Ignácio, Zuleide M.; Santos, Maria Augusta B. dos; Moura, Airam B. de; Matos, Danyela; Demo, Júlia P.Recent studies show that activation of the mTOR signaling pathway is required for the rapid antide- pressant actions of glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists. A relationship be- tween mTOR kinase and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway, also known as the unfolded protein response (UPR) has been shown. We evaluate the effects of ketamine administration on the mTOR signaling pathway...
Neonatal Immune Challenge with Lipopolysaccharide Triggers Long-lasting sex- an...
Custódio, Charllyany Sabino; Mello, Bruna Stefânia Ferreira; Chaves Filho, Adriano José Maia; Lima, Camila Nayane de CarvalhoEarly-life challenges, particularly infections and stress, are related to neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. Here, we conducted a wide range of behavioral tests in periadolescent (postnatal day (PN) 35) and adult (PN70) Swiss mice neonatally challenged with LPS on PN5 and -7, to unveil behavioral alterations triggered by LPS exposure. Immune and neurotrophic (brain-derived neurotrophic...
