The relationship between serotonergic dysfunction and schizophrenia began with the discovery of the effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) which has high affinity for the 5-HT2A receptor. Its activation generates delusions and hallucinations that are positive symptoms of schizophrenia. Another substance, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine (DOI), also exhibits hallucinogenic properties b…
Stress has been associated with a greater risk for different clinical conditions, including psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia. The aim of the present study is to test the hypothesis that exposure to stress procedure by acute restraint would affect cognitive and social function in male Wistar rats. Restraint will be used as a stressor since previous evidence shows that it is one…
Prepulse inhibition (PPI) is the reduction in the startle response caused by a low intensity non-startling stimulus (prepulse) which is presented shortly before the startle stimulus and is an operational measure of sensorimotor gating. PPI is impaired in schizophrenia patients and can be induced in rats by systemic administration of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamatergic antagonists su…

During adolescence, sleep is altered to adapt to the changes characteristic of this period, especially those related to neurodevelopment, leading to an increase in the amount of sleep required during this period. However, adolescents have been sleeping less than necessary and chronic sleep restriction is related to neurobiological changes and impairments in cognitive capacity, in addition…
