    • Effects of chronic corticosterone and imipramine administration on panic and anxiety-related responses 

      Diniz, Leila [UNIFESP]; Reis, Bianca Beraldo dos [UNIFESP]; Castro, Glaucia Monteiro de [UNIFESP]; Medalha, Carla Christina [UNIFESP]; Viana, Milena de Barros [UNIFESP] (Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2011-10-01)
      It is known that chronic high levels of corticosterone (CORT) enhance aversive responses such as avoidance and contextual freezing. In contrast, chronic CORT does not alter defensive behavior induced by the exposure to a ...

    • Effects of reversible inactivation of the dorsomedial hypothalamus on panic- and anxiety-related responses in rats 

      Nascimento, Juliana Olivetti Guzman [UNIFESP]; Zangrossi Junior, Helio; Viana, Milena de Barros [UNIFESP] (Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2010-09-01)
      The medial hypothalamus is part of a neurobiological substrate controlling defensive behavior. It has been shown that a hypothalamic nucleus, the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH), is involved in the regulation of escape, a ...

    • A pilot study of hippocampal volume and N-acetylaspartate (NAA) as response biomarkers in riluzole-treated patients with GAD 

      Abdallah, Chadi G.; Coplan, Jeremy D.; Jackowski, Andrea [UNIFESP]; Sato, Joao R. [UNIFESP]; Mao, Xiangling; Shungu, Dikoma C.; Mathew, Sanjay J. (Elsevier B.V., 2013-04-01)
      Anxiolytic benefit following chronic treatment with the glutamate modulating agent riluzole in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) was previously associated with differential changes in hippocampal NAA ...

    • Primary headaches in patients with generalized anxiety disorder 

      Mercante, Juliane Prieto Peres; Peres, Mario Fernando Prieto [UNIFESP]; Bernik, Márcio Antonini (Springer, 2011-06-01)
      Although anxiety disorders and headaches are comorbid conditions, there have been no studies evaluating the prevalence of primary headaches in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). the aim of this study was to ...

    • Riluzole effect on occipital cortex: A structural and spectroscopy pilot study 

      Abdallah, Chadi G.; Coplan, Jeremy D.; Jackowski, Andrea [UNIFESP]; Sato, Joao R. [UNIFESP]; Mao, Xiangling; Shungu, Dikoma C.; Mathew, Sanjay J. (Elsevier B.V., 2012-11-14)
      Background: To investigate the mechanism underlying the anxiolytic properties of riluzole, a glutamate-modulating agent, we previously studied the effect of this drug on hippocampal N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and volume in ...
