Translational Psychiatry
This journal focuses on papers that directly study psychiatric disorders and bring new discovery into clinical practice.
Why rats (and humans) addicted to alcohol may not respond to psilocybin treatment
In our paper, we show how severity of alcohol relapse in rats can affect psilocybin’s mode of action
Prepulse inhibition of startle - Teaching a classic paradigm some new tricks
We show that Cntnap2 KO rats, a preclinical model for neurodevelopmental disorder, have intact startle scaling, but disrupted sound scaling in response to a prepulse, confirming that there are two independent scaling processes causing prepulse inhibition of startle.
What´s in blood ? EN-RAGE enters the stage
The pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders is a complex web of events and the biological processes involved are not fully understood. We have studied the levels of blood immune modulators in first episode psychotic patients revealing changes in EN-RAGE that is produced by neutrophils.
