Behavioral analyses in translational neuropsychiatric research
(2024-07-05)Cognitive impairment frequently co-occurs in a variety of neuropsychological disorders, making it an increasing burden to the affected individuals, their relatives, and society in general. Diagnostic procedures usually ... -
Computational biology and bioinformatic methods in neuropsychiatric research: From autoimmunity to cognition and erythropoietin
(2024-06-24)Research in neuropsychiatry has greatly developed in terms of complexity, both in the questions addressed and the datasets used. Advances in computational biology and bioinformatic methods have been essential to this ... -
Multi-nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy of lithium in the brain
(2024-02-23)Equipped with only three protons, lithium stands as one of the most unexpected drug discoveries in history. Despite its initial FDA approval in 1970, lithium's precise mechanism for regulating mood remains largely elusive. ... -
Crosstalk between the lung microenvironment and CNS autoimmunity
(2023-05-08)The contribution of the lung in shaping CNS autoimmunity is gaining relevance in the last years. Central nervous system (CNS) reactive T cells can acquire in the lung the potential to invade the CNS in experimental ... -
Sleep control by TFAP2a and TFAP2b transcription factors in mice
(2023-01-31)Sleep is a universal behavior that exists across species. We previously found that deletion of transcription factor APTF-1 induces sleep loss in C. elegans and Drosophila. In mammals, sleep has two states: rapid eye movement ... -
Modeling anti-NMDAR encephalitis
(2022-07-22)The anti-NMDAR encephalitis (NMDARE) is an autoimmune condition with so far unclear etiology and pathogenesis. It manifests with a heterogeneous clinical disease course and is diagnosed based on the presence of ... -
White matter integrity of the frontal brain and its relevance for catatonia and executive function
(2021-11-22)Catatonia is a CNS derived psychomotor syndrome comprising disturbed volition and aberrant motor and behavioral features. Targeted and effective treatment today is scarce and further impeded by its heterogeneous clinical ... -
Environmental and genetic correlates of neuropsychiatric diseases and the role of erythropoietin/hypoxia in the brain as potential treatment targets
(2021-06-15)Neuropsychiatric disorders are relatively frequent and present a considerable burden to affected individuals and society. Disease etiology is often complex and patients exhibit large heterogeneity regarding disease causing ... -
Time- and gender- dependent differences in neuronal behaviors in culture
(2020-05-29)Isolating cells from a living organism and growing them in a Petri dish allowed scientists to study the physiology and biochemistry of healthy and diseased cells. Today we have cell cultures from almost any tissue type, ... -
Effects and inducers of autoantibodies against N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors
(2020-03-20)Autoantibodies against the IgG class of N-methy-D-aspartate-receptor subunit GluN1 (NMDAR1-AB) were believed to cause anti-NMDAR encephalitis. However, the view was chanllenged by the finding of age-dependent seroprevalance ... -
Novel approaches to measure physiological and behavioral responses to stress
(2020-02-21)Stress is the perception of threats to one's physical or psychological integrity, leading to certain autonomous, affective, and behavioral responses. Albeit its important role in adapting to new contexts and thus increasing ... -
Investigation of myelin maintenance and turnover by inducible MBP knock-out in adult mice
(2019-11-11)The turnover and maintenance of myelin in the adult CNS Myelin is a multilayered membrane structure generated by oligodendrocytes in the CNS that insulates and supports axons. While most of the oligodendrocyte population ... -
Microglia activation and regulation of remyelination in the central nervous system
(2019-08-21)In the central nervous system, remyelination requires the proliferation and migration of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) to the lesions, and the differentiation of OPCs into oligodendrocytes that remyelinate the ... -
The role of N-truncated Aβ peptides in Alzheimer’s Disease
(2018-06-29)The N-terminally truncated pyroglutamate Aβ3−42 (AβpE3−42) and Aβ4−42 peptides are known to be highly abundant in the brain of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. Both peptides show enhanced aggregation and neurotoxicity ... -
Role of adhesion proteins Neuroligin 2 and IgSF9b in the amygdala anxiety circuitry
(2018-04-23)Anxiety disorder is a debilitating condition that affects up to 10% of the adult population in the world. Mapping of brain activity in patients and in mouse models has shown that anxiety- related behavior is associated ... -
Peripheral nervous system control for neuroprostheses
(2017-09-21)Amputee patients who have lost a hand or arm are severely impaired in their daily life, as they lose the ability to grasp and interact with their environment. While the use of electromyographically controlled prosthetic ... -
Schizophrenia risk factor Tcf4 and gene-environment interaction in mice
(2015-02-23)Psychiatric diseases are triggered by the interaction of genetic and environmental risk factors (GxE). To model GxE in mice, we developed an approach to analysing huge behavioural data sets, which allowed us to compare ... -
MicroRNA-212/132 Family is Involved in the Regulation of Long-Term Spatial Memory and Synaptic Remodeling
(2014-10-30)MicroRNAs are noncoding transcripts with crucial functions in probably every organ system. The roles of miRNAs in neuronal processes and cognitive functions are recently being appreciated. The discovery of neuronal activity ... -
Characterization of the CNS-specific F-box protein FBXO41 in cerebellar development
(2014-05-28)During neurodevelopment, processes like neurogenesis, neuronal migration and morphogenesis, as well as synaptogenesis determine the shape and function of the brain. All developmental events are highly coordinated by extrinsic ... -
The EPO/EPOR system in the brain: Search for mechanisms of action
(2014-04-17)Erythropoietin (EPO) and its receptor (EPOR) are known to be essential for erythropoiesis. However, the EPO/EPOR system turned out to have additional important functions in non-hematopoietic tissue. The brain is one of the ...
