Reul, 10000 - 10001. ISBN: 978-0-444-51822-4. Amsterdam: Elsevier Science Title. Description The Handbook of Stress and the Brain focuses on the impact of stressful events on the functioning of the central nervous system; how stress affects molecular and cellular processes in the brain, and in turn, how these brain processes determine our perception of and reactivity to, stressful challenges - acutely and in the long-run. Written for a broad scientific audience, the Handbook comprehensively reviews key principles and facts to provide a clear overview of the interdisciplinary field of stress. The work aims to bring together the disciplines of neurobiology, physiology, immunology, psychology and psychiatry, to provide a reference source for both the non-clinical and clinical expert, as well as serving as an introductory text for novices in this field of scientific inquiry. Part 1 addresses basic aspects of the neurobiology of the stress response including the involvement of neuropeptide, neuroendocrine and neurotransmitter systems and its corollaries regarding gene expression and behavioural processes such as cognition, motivation and emotionality. Part 2 treats the complexity of short-term and long-term regulation of stress responsivity, the role of stress in psychiatric disorders as based on both preclinical and clinical evidence, and the current status with regard to new therapeutic strategies targetting stress-related disorders. .

"Stress shifts the response of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis to an anxiogenic mode", European Journal of Neuroscience 36, 10: 3396 - 3406. The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is critically implicated in anxiety behavior and control of the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis. Having previously shown that chronic stress triggers dendritic/synaptic remodeling in specific nuclei of the BNST, we characterised the pattern of activation of neurons within different regions of the BNST under basal conditions and after an anxiogenic stimulus in control and stressed rats. Under basal conditions, stressed, but not control, animals displayed increased cFOS expression in the dorsomedial nucleus and decreased activation of the principal nucleus. This pattern resembled that observed in controls that had been exposed to the anxiogenic stimulus. Subsequent analysis of various BNST subnuclei revealed differential patterns of gene expression in controls and stressed animals. We found decreased levels of corticotropin-releasing hormone 1 receptor mRNA expression in the dorsomedial and fusiform nuclei, and a global increase in the levels of corticotropin-releasing hormone 2 receptor in the principal nucleus. In addition, we found subnuclei-specific increases in GABAA and NR2B receptors in stressed animals, which suggest changes in the GABAergic and glutamergic innervation of the BNST. Importantly, these findings were associated with increased anxiety-like behavior and impaired control of the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis in stressed animals. In summary, these data reveal that chronic stress shifts the pattern of response of the BNST to an anxiogenic mode and provide new information on the underlying mechanisms of the stress-induced hypercorticalism and hyperanxious status.

"Programming Effects of Antenatal Corticosteroids Exposure in Male Sexual Behavior.", The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 10000: 10000 - 10001. Introduction. Brain regions implicated in sexual behavior begin to differentiate in the last trimester of gestation. Antenatal therapy with corticosteroids is often used in clinical practice during this period to accelerate lung maturation in preterm-risk pregnancies. Clinical and animal studies highlighted major behavioral impairments induced later in life by these treatments, especially when synthetic corticosteroids are used. Aim. To evaluate the implications of acute prenatal treatment with natural vs. synthetic corticosteroids on adult male rat sexual behavior and its neurochemical correlates. Methods. Twelve pregnant Wistar rats were injected with dexamethasone (DEX-1 mg/kg), corticosterone (CORT-25 mg/kg), or saline on late gestation (pregnancy days 18 and 19). Following this brief exposure to corticosteroids, we assessed the sexual behavior of the adult male progeny and subsequently associated these behaviors with the levels of catecholamines and mRNA of dopamine and androgen receptors (AR) in brain regions relevant for sexual behavior. Main Outcome Measures. Sexual behavior of adult male offspring was assessed by exposure to receptive females. This was associated with serum testosterone levels and levels of catecholamines (determined by high-performance liquid chromatography) and dopamine and AR mRNA expression (real-time polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) in brain regions implicated in sexual behavior. Results. Prenatal DEX exposure resulted in a decreased number and increased mounts and intromissions latencies in adulthood. These findings were associated with decreased levels of serum testosterone and increased hypothalamic expression of AR mRNA. DEX animals also displayed lower dopamine levels and higher dopamine receptor mRNA expression both in hypothalamus and nucleus accumbens (NAcc). The milder phenotype of CORT animals was associated only with decreased dopamine levels in NAcc. Conclusion. Antenatal corticotherapy programs adult male sexual beha.

"Invivo assessment of gastrotomy closure with over-the-scope clips in an experimental model for varicocelectomy (with video).", GastrointestEndosc 70, 6: 1137 - 1145. Abstract BACKGROUND: Gastrotomy closure remains the major limiting factor for human translation of transgastric surgery; the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) system was proposed as a possibility for this purpose. Transgastric access is good for a pelvic approach, making varicocelectomy a possible indication for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reliability of the OTSC system in vivo after transgastric testicular vessel ligation (varicocelectomy model). DESIGN: There were 3 experimental groups (5 animals in each): groups 1 and 3, gastrotomy dilation up to 18 mm, surgery was performed with a double-channel endoscope; group 2, gastrotomy dilation up to 13 mm, surgery was performed with a single-channel endoscope. SETTING: Surgical Sciences Research Domain, Life and Health Sciences Research Institute (ICVS), School of Health Sciences, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal. INTERVENTIONS: Bilateral testicular vessel ligation by transgastric access. Gastrotomy closed with the largest version of OTSC system (12 mm): a single clip in groups 1 and 2, and 2 clips in group 3. Animals were monitored for 2 weeks, killed, and submitted for necropsy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Adequacy of closure and healing after the use of the OTSC system. Statistical analysis. RESULTS: Vessel ligation was easily achieved in all groups. Although differences in the complication rate did not reach statistical significance (P = .099), there was a clear tendency for a better prognosis in groups 2 and 3 than group 1. In fact, only 2 animals from group 1 had complications related to incomplete gastrotomy closure. LIMITATIONS: Small number of animals per group; nonrandomized study. CONCLUSIONS: The OTSC system was shown to be easy and efficient for gastrotomy closure in a survival experimental model of varicocelectomy, when correctly matching the gastrotomy size with the clip size and/or number. IF = 6,713.

"Antinociception induced by chronic glucocorticoid treatment is correlated to local modulation of spinal neurotransmitter content.", Molecular Pain, 5: 41 - 52. While acute effects of stress on pain are well described, those produced by chronic stress are still a matter of dispute. Previously we demonstrated that chronic unpredictable stress results in antinociception in the tail-flick test, an effect that is mediated by increased levels of corticosteroids. In the present study, we evaluated nociception in rats after chronic treatment with corticosterone (CORT) and dexamethasone (DEX) in order to discriminate the role of each type of corticosteroid receptors in antinociception. Results Both experimental groups exhibited a pronounced antinociceptive effect after three weeks of treatment when compared to controls (CONT); however, at four weeks the pain threshold in CORT-treated animals returned to basal levels whereas in DEX-treated rats antinociception was maintained. In order to assess if these differences are associated with altered expression of neuropeptides involved in nociceptive transmission we evaluated the density of substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), somatostatin (SS) and B2-¿-aminobutiric acid receptors (GABAB2) expression in the spinal dorsal horn using light density measurements and stereological techniques. After three weeks of treatment the expression of CGRP in the superficial dorsal horn was significantly decreased in both CORT and DEX groups, while GABAB2 was significantly increased; the levels of SP for both experimental groups remained unchanged at this point. At 4 weeks, CGRP and SP are reduced in DEX-treated animals and GABAB2 unchanged, but all changes were restored to CONT levels in CORT-treated animals. The expression of SS remained unaltered throughout the experimental period. Conclusion These data indicate that corticosteroids modulate nociception since chronic corticosteroid treatment alters the expression of neuropeptides involved in nociceptive transmission at the spinal cord level. As previously observed in some supraspinal areas, the exclusive GR ac IF = 4,187.

"A Behavioral Characterization on the Motor and Emotional Deficits of the 6-OHDA Parkinson Disease Rat Model", Trabalho apresentado em 12th Meeting of the Portuguese Society for Neurosciences, In 12th Meeting of the Portuguese Society for Neurosciences, Lisboa. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition affecting the dopaminergic system, causing the emergence of both motor and non-motor complications. The development of animal models mimicking this condition brought new insights regarding the neuropathologic mechanisms of this disease, and endowed us with suitable tools to develop new therapeutical strategies. One of the most widely used models is the unilaterally 6-OHDA-lesioned rat model, characterized by a biased rotatory behavior after apomorphine/methamphetamine challenge. However, little is known about other behavioral features of this model, particularly at the emotional/cognitive level. Importantly, this model has been extensively used to assess the therapeutical relevance of novel treatments, particularly at the motor level. The improvement of the behavioral characterization of this model could reveal additional features besides the motor deficits, which could in the future be useful to address treatment-related improvements in a multidimensional fashion. Therefore, the objective of the present work was to pursue a more thorough behavioral characterization of this model, particularly at the emotional and cognitive levels. We believe that our findings can be highly relevant for the validity of this model in PD regenerative medicine. Wistar-Han rats were unilaterally injected with 6-OHDA or saline in the medial forebrain bundle (coordinates related to bregma, AP= -4,4mm; ML= -1,0mm; DV= -7,8mm). Behavioral assessment was done using: rotorod, elevated plus maze (EPM), acoustic startle (AS), Morris water maze (MWM), open field (OF), forced swimming test (FST), sucrose preference test (SPT) and rotameter (apomorphine-derived rotatory behavior assessment). Tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry was performed to assess the effectiveness of the lesion. Lesioned animals displaying apomorphine induced rotatory behavior had severe dopaminergic degeneration. In this group of animals, it was poss.

Billions of patients worldwide have already been anaesthesized. Each year 200 millions of patients are anesthetized. The aim of anaesthesia is to achieve the conditions to perform a diagnostic or therapeutic intervention in the patient without inducing physiological and psychological stress. There exist Clinical evidences of postoperative cognitive change. In vivo studies also shown cognitive and molecular changes induced by GA exposure. The aim of this project is to determine the effects of GA in cognitive flexibility. Studies suggest changes both in long term cellular protein expression, and impairment in striatal dopaminergic after GA exposure. For the purpose we will expose rodents to GA to try to assess changes in cognition processes related to cortico-basal ganglia network.

Dissertação (Neurociências) - Universidade do Minho, Bolseiro(a) de Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (Orientador). Anxiety disorders affect a large portion of the world population and are frequently long-lasting and debilitating. Chronic stress plays an important role in their etiology. Several studies have shown that animals exposed to chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) present anxiety-like behavior correlated with hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction and structural changes in the brain, principally in limbic structures. The mechanisms by which chronic stress alters central circuits that mediate anxiety-like emotional behavior are still largely unknown. Substantial evidence has implicated the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BST) in the regulation of the HPA axis, acting as a relay nucleus between limbic structures and the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN). This is enhanced by previous results showing a hypertrophy of dendrites and spine sprouting in the BST anterodivision after CUS exposure. Nevertheless it is not known if the stress-induced structural and behavioral changes are associated with an altered pattern of activation in the BST. To address this question, electrophysiological studies will be conducted in stressed and control animals. A CUS paradigm will be used to induce anxiety-like behavior in rats, which will be evaluated in three different tests: open field, elevated plus maze and acoustic startle. Electrophysiological proprieties of single cell units in dorsomedial/fusiform and principal BST subnuclei of both stressed and control animals will be recorded in basal conditions. Afterwards BST spontaneous and sonorous-evoked activity will be recorded immediately after manipulation of central nucleus amygdala, in order to see the role of amygdala inputs over BST. .
