Stress-related disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), are recurrent causes of occupational absence in Brazil. Both acute restraint stress and transient elevation of glucocorticoid (GC) levels induce anxiety behaviors as well as dendritic branching within the basolateral complex of the amygdala (BLA) of rodents. The BLA is one fundamental structu…
The persistence of anxiety and the deficit in the extinction of fear memory are both phenomena related to the symptoms of disorders associated with stress, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Recently, we have shown that acute restraint stress (2h) in rats induces both late anxiety-like behavior (observed 10 days after stress) and fear extinction impairment. In addition to th…
The consequences of stressful events on human health, especially related to psychiatric disorders, has gained notoriety in recent years due to the increasing number of comorbidities associated to stress registered in large cities. Emotional disorders related to anxiety symptoms are common among the psychiatric patients and have increasing in importance in scientific papers devoted to stre…
Environmental enrichment (EE) is an experimental model that enhances the opportunity of animals to interact with sensory, motor, and social stimuli compared to the standard conditions. Among the benefits of EE are the improvements in learning and memory, as well as reduction in stress-induced behaviors, including anxiety. Overall, the most conclusive findings on the latter issue show a ca…
The bidirectional communication between the gastrointestinal tract (GI) and the brain has gained attention as a therapeutic target for psychiatric disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders. The vagus nerve is a critical component of the autonomic nervous system implicated in the gut-to-brain communication. Subcutaneously vagal stimulation has been increasingly u…
Anxiety-related disorders are common among psychiatric patients and are widely present in studies devoted to stress. In addition to the long-lasting anxiety behavior, impaired extinction of learned fear is associated with the development of post-traumatic stress disorder, one of the most debilitating anxiety-related disorder. Several approaches have been focusing on environmental influenc…
