Stress is identified as a prominent factor involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Despite the relevance of the theme, the neurobiological mechanisms related to stress-induced cardiovascular and behavioral changes are still poorly understood. In this sense, the insular cortex (IC) has been implicated in the integration and processing of limbic information in humans and animals. …
Clinical and preclinical studies have provided evidence linking stress and the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular complications and psychiatric disorders. Despite the relevance of these findings, the neurobiological mechanisms involved in cardiovascular and behavioral changes evoked by stress are still poorly understood. The amygdaloid complex is an important limbic structure involved…
Andrea Sgoifo is MS in Biological Sciences (University of Parma, IT, 1987) and PhD in Cardiovascular Pathophysiology (University of Milano, IT, 1994). He is Professor of Physiology at the University of Parma since 2005. Professor Sgoifo is editorial board member of 15 international scientific journals and was visiting professor at many international institutions in Europe and Australia. A…

The survival of species in the face of aversive events or stressors depends on a coordinated set of physiological and behavioral responses. The insular cortex (IC) is a cortical structure that has been implicated in the integration and processing of limbic information in humans and animals. In fact, it has been reported an involvement of the iC in the generation of physiological and behav…
The medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) is a limbic region located in the telencephalon, which is implicated in the control of cardiovascular, neuroendocrine and behavioral responses to stress. However, the local neurochemical mechanisms, especially neuropeptidergic, associated with stress response control by the MPFC are still poorly understood. The wide distribution of CRF-binding protein (…
The medial Prefrontal Cortex (mPFC) is a limbic structure involved in the expression of physiological and behavioral responses to conditioned aversive stimuli, including those evoked by Contextual Fear Conditioning (CFC). However, the local neurochemical mechanisms in the mPFC involved in controlling the responses to CRC are still poorly understood. In this sense, the presence of peptides…

Studies in humans and animals have provided evidence correlating stress with the pathogenesis of several psychiatric disorders, including depression. Despite the relevance of these findings, neurobiological mechanisms related to stress-evoked behavioral changes are still poorly understood. The amygdaloid complex is an important limbic structure involved in the physiological and behavioral…
Studies in humans and animals have provided evidence linking stress and the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular complications and psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety. Despite the relevance of these findings, the neurobiological mechanisms involved in cardiovascular and behavioral changes induced by stress are still poorly understood. The amygdaloid complex is an important limbic str…
Physiological responses, including autonomic and neuroendocrine changes, are evoked during threat aversive to maintenance of homeostasis. Although the relevance, the neurobiological mechanisms involved in etiology and control of these responses are poorly understood. The bed nucleus of the stria terminal (BNST) is a limbic structures localized in the rostral prosencephalon involved in aut…

In a social context, individuals are able to detect external information from others and execute behavioral responses according to the situation faced, a phenomenon called social decision-making. The process of social decision-making is multifaceted, being influenced and dependent of several factors, such as age, emotion, sex, and familiarity. In this sense, adult rats prefer to interact …
The bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST) is a limbic structure involved in behavioral, neuroendocrine and autonomic responses to aversive threats. However, the neurochemical mechanisms involved in BNST control of stress responses are still poorly understood. Previous studies reported an involvement of corticotrophin-release factor (CRF) neurotransmission in the BNST in control of cardio…
