Vulnerability to depression: what is the role of stress genes in gene x environment interaction?

30 Aug 2009 Vulnerability to depression has been linked to the interaction of genetic predisposition with stressful life events. This review considers the associations between serotonergic and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) systems. We follow the ... Read more...

Circadian regulation of central ethanol sensitivity by the mPer2 gene.

29 Jun 2009 The effect of alcohol is known to vary with the time of the day. Although initially it was suggested that this phenomenon may be due to diurnal differences in ethanol metabolism, more recent studies were contradicting. In the present study, we ... Read more...

A specific pathway can be identified between genetic characteristics and behaviour profiles in Prader-Willi syndrome via cognitive, environmental and physiological mechanisms.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Behavioural phenotypes associated with genetic syndromes have been extensively investigated in order to generate rich descriptions of phenomenology, determine the degree of specificity of behaviours for a particular syndrome, and examine ... Read more...
