Adult spinal opioid receptor μ1 expression after incision is altered by early life repetitive tactile and noxious procedures in rats
ABSTRACT Clinical and experimental data suggests that noxious stimulation at critical stages of development results in long‐term changes on nociceptive processing in later life. Here, we use an established, well‐documented rat model of repetitive noxious procedures closely mimicking the clinical situation in the NICU. In order to understand molecular changes underlying the long‐term consequences of repetitive stimulation of the developing nociceptive system the present study aims to analyze the presence of the µ‐opioid‐receptor‐1 (OPRM1). Neonatal rats received either four needle pricks per day in the left hin...

Searching for the gut microbial contributing factors to social behavior in rodent models of autism spectrum disorder
ABSTRACT Social impairment is one of the major symptoms in multiple psychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Accumulated studies indicate a crucial role for the gut microbiota in social development, but these mechanisms remain unclear. This review focuses on two strategies adopted to elucidate the complicated relationship between gut bacteria and host social behavior. In a top‐down approach, researchers have attempted to correlate behavioral abnormalities with altered gut microbial profiles in rodent models of ASD, including BTBR mice, maternal immune activation (MIA), maternal valproic acid (VPA)...

Developmental and sex differences in tetramethylenedisulfotetramine (TMDT) ‐induced syndrome in rats
In conclusion, the youngest age group represents the most vulnerable population to the TMDT‐induced toxidrome. Females appear to be more vulnerable than males. TMDT exposure promotes seizure spread and progression in survivors. These findings will help to establish sex‐ and age‐specific treatment strategies for TMDT‐exposed individuals.

Microglial interactions with the neurovascular system in physiology and pathology
ABSTRACT Microglia as immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS) play significant roles not only in pathology but also in physiology, such as shaping of the CNS during development and its proper maintenance in maturity. Emerging research is showing a close association between microglia and the neurovasculature that is critical for brain energy supply. In this review, we summarize the current literature on microglial interaction with the vascular system in the normal and diseased brain. First, we highlight data that indicate interesting potential involvement of microglia in developmental angiogenesis. Then we discuss ...
