What can we learn from traumatized rats about Post-traumatic Stress Disorder?
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is thought to reflect learned associations between neutral events and life threatening situations that persist well after the life threatening condition subsides. In technical terms, PTSD patients are thought to exhibit extinction deficits in their previously conditioned fear. To gauge the potential neurobiological mechanisms of PTSD, extinction of classically conditioned fear responses in rodents along with their neural signatures have been widely investigated.
What can a mouse tell us about the neurodevelopmental disorders?
"Since the beginning of 2000’s, the revelation of genomic data from different species has revolutionized the biological sciences. The field of psychology started benefiting from such advances, owing to interdisciplinary neuroscientific studies. Currently, neuroscientists are able to tackle gene products not only in terms of the proteins they encode, but also in terms of the functional role of these gene products in different neural networks and behaviors stemming from the activity of these neural networks.
