The expression of plasticity-related genes in an acute model of stress is modulated by chronic desipramine in a time-dependent manner within medial prefrontal cortex
Nava, Nicoletta; Wegener, Gregers; Treccani, Giulia; Müller, Heide Kaastrup; Popoli, Maurizio (Elsevier, 2017)It is well established that stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric diseases. Stress-induced alteration of synaptic plasticity has been hypothesized to underlie the morphological changes observed ... -
A new efficient method for synaptic vesicle quantification reveals differences between medial prefrontal cortex perforated and nonperforated synapses
Nava, Nicoletta; Wegener, Gregers; Chen, Fenghua; Popoli, Maurizio; Randel Nyengaard, Jens (Wiley, 2014)Communication between neurons is mediated by the release of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles from presynaptic terminals. Quantitative characterization of synaptic vesicles can be highly valuable for understanding ... -
Structural plasticity and molecular markers in hippocampus of male rats after acute stress
Chen, Fenghua; Wegener, Gregers; Polsinelli, Benadetta; Nava, Nicoletta; Treccani, Giulia (Elsevier, 2020)Stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders and affects neuronal plasticity in different brain regions. We have previously found that acute foot-shock (FS) stress elicits fast and long-lasting ...
