Metabotropic and ionotropic glutamate receptors as neurobiological targets in anxiety and stress-related disorders: focus on pharmacology and preclinical translational models
(Elsevier, 2012)
Anxiety disorders are amongst the most common and disabling of psychiatric illnesses and have severe health
and socio-economic implications. Despite the availability of a number of treatment options there is still a

Cortico-striatal oxidative status, dopamine turnover and relation with stereotypy in the deer mouse
(Elsevier, 2011)
The deer mouse presents with spontaneous stereotypic movements that resemble the repetitive behaviours of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and demonstrates a selective response to serotonin reuptake inhibitors. OCD has ...
A critical inquiry into marble-burying as a preclinical screening paradigm of relevance for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder: mapping the way forward
(Springer, 2019)
Rodent marble-burying behavior in the marble-burying test (MBT) is employed as a model or measure to study anxiety- and compulsive-like behaviors or anxiolytic and anticompulsive drug action. However, the test responds ...
Of mice and marbles: novel perspectives on burying behavior as a screening test for psychiatric illness
(Springer, 2016)
Burying forms part of the normal behavioral routine of rodents, although its expression is species-specific. However, it has been suggested that aberrant burying behavior, of which marble-burying (MB) is an example, may ...
