Graphical Abstract

Residual Fatigue in Unipolar and Bipolar Depression: A Systematic Review Issue 1, 2025

Residual fatigue is a common symptom in patients suffering from depression, impacting quality of life and relapse risk. Modafinil shows promise for short-term relief, but more research, especially in bipolar depression, is vital. Standardized tools are urgently needed.

Comprehensive behavioral analysis of heterozygous Syngap1 knockout mice

Graphical Abstract

Comprehensive behavioral analysis of heterozygous Syngap1 knockout mice Issue 3, 2019

In Syngap1−/+ mice, a well-known model of SYNGAP-related ID, we could reproduce most of the previously reported cognitive and emotional deficits. The decreased sensitivity to painful stimuli and impaired motor function that we found in Syngap1−/+ mice are consistent with the common characteristics of patients with SYNGAP-related ID. We further confirmed that the Syngap1 heterozygote mouse recapitulates the symptoms of ID and ASD patients.

Differential effects of stress exposure via two types of restraint apparatuses on behavior and plasma corticosterone level in inbred male BALB/cAJcl mice

Graphical Abstract

Differential effects of stress exposure via two types of restraint apparatuses on behavior and plasma corticosterone level in inbred male BALB/cAJcl mice Issue 1, 2020

This study investigated the effects of stress exposure via two types of restraint apparatuses, a well-ventilated plastic conical tube and a tapered plastic film envelope, on body weights, behaviors, and plasma corticosterone levels in male BALB/cAJcl mice. Film-restraint stress had more pronounced effects on body weight, depression-related behavior, and corticosterone response than tube-restraint stress, which may help guide which restraint stress procedures to use in generating animal models of stress-induced disorders.
