Background And Objectives: Many acute treatment options exist for migraine. However, large-scale, head-to-head comparisons of treatment effectiveness from real-world patient experience reports are lacking.
Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 10,842,795 migraine attack records extracted from an e-diary smartphone application between June 30, 2014, and July 2, 2020.
Background: There is a bidirectional link between sleep and migraine, however causality is difficult to determine. This study aimed to investigate this relationship using data collected from a smartphone application.
Methods: Self-reported data from 11,166 global users (aged 18-81 years, mean: 41.
The vasopressin 1b receptor antagonist, SSR149415, and the corticotropin-releasing factor 1 receptor antagonist, SSR125543, are orally active non-peptidic compounds with anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like activities in animals. In the present study, their effects on stress-induced deficit in cognitive performances as assessed in a modified object recognition test were investigated in mice. The object recognition task measures the ability of a mouse to remember an object it has previously explored in a learning trial.

Trilostane shows antidepressant-like properties in the forced swimming test (FST). The compound, however, induced only moderate effects on neuroactive steroid levels that could be related to its behavioral efficacy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFActivation of the transcription factor CREB by Ser142 phosphorylation is implicated in synchronizing circadian rhythmicity, which is disturbed in many depressive patients. Hence, one could assume that emotional behaviour and neuroendocrinological markers would be altered in CREB(S142A) mice, in which serine 142 is replaced by alanine, preventing phosphorylation at this residue. Moreover, associations of CREB Ser142 and seasonal affective disorder (SAD) might be detectable by the analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CREB gene close to the Ser142 residue in SAD patients.
