We thank M Carneiro and L Martins for technical assistance. AM-P, LP, MM and SM received fellowships from the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). This work was supported by FCT (PTDC/SAU-NEU/105180/2008) and the ICVS. ; Impairment of hippocampal neurogenesis has been associated with the expression of depressive-like symptoms and some studies have suggested neurogenesis as a critical factor ...
There is accumulating evidence that the nucleus accumbens (NAc) has an important role in the pathophysiology of depression. As the NAc is a key component in the neural circuitry of reward, it has been hypothesized that anhedonia, a core symptom of depression, might be related to dysfunction of this brain region. Neuronal morphology and expression of plasticity-related molecules were examined in the NAc of rats ...
Characterization of neuronal dendritic structure in combination with the determination of specific neuronal phenotype or temporal generation is a challenging task. Here we present a novel method that combines bromodioxyuridine (BrdU) immunohistochemistry with Golgi-impregnation technique; with this simple noninvasive method, we are able to determine the tridimensional structure of dendritic arborization and spi...
Monografia apresentada à Universidade Fernando Pessoa para obtenção do grau Licenciada em Enfermagem ; O Stress é uma temática bastante em voga hoje em dia. É sabido que se está a tornar uma patologia frequente, em profissionais de saúde, o que torna interessante estudar a vulnerabilidade ao stress nos estudantes com vista a prevenir perturbações mais graves como a Síndrome de Burnout.
