It is shown that suboccipital injection of 100 micrograms of the gexapeptide GLLDLK (the fragment of endogenous peptide--the inhibitor of diazepam binding) modified (for 1-3 days) the emotionally conditioned behaviour of the rats (the test of "emotional resonance"). This modification was realized in some reinforcement of different behavioural patterns and had signs of anxiety and depression. In the test "social hierarchy" the injection of GLLDLK didn't change significantly the hierarchy in the whole rat society, but in the recipient behaviour the exploratory activity has been changed, the time of grooming increased and the quantity of social contacts decreased.

Inaudible airborne ultrasound affects emotional states in the olfactory bulbectomized rat depression model.

Recently, exposure to sounds with ultrasound (US) components has been shown to modulate brain activity. However, the effects of US on emotional states remain poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that the olfactory bulbectomized (OBX) rat depression model is suitable for examining the effects of audible sounds on emotionality.

Stressful and emotionally arousing experiences induce the release of noradrenergic and glucocorticoid hormones that synergistically strengthen memories but differentially regulate qualitative aspects of memory. This highlights the need for sophisticated behavioral tasks that allow for the assessment of memory quality. The dual-event inhibitory avoidance task for rats is such a behavioral task designed to evaluate both the strength and specificity of memory.

Introduction: Many studies have documented the profound impact that the mother-child relationship has on child sociality and behavior. However, the biological mechanisms that govern the relationship are poorly understood. We developed a mother-child emotional preparation program (MCEP), based on a novel autonomic nervous system learning mechanism.

Article Synopsis
- * The study aimed to investigate how maternal separation affects anxiety-like behavior and memory extinction, alongside examining the role of a linseed oil diet rich in omega-3 fats in mitigating these effects.
- * Results showed that maternal separation led to increased anxiety and freezing behavior during memory tests, but a linseed oil diet helped improve anxiety-like behavior, albeit with mixed results on inflammation and mitochondrial functionality in the amygdala.
Orbitofrontal Cortex Mediates Sustained Basolateral Amygdala Encoding of Cued Reward-Seeking States.

Article Synopsis
- BLA neurons actively respond to emotionally significant stimuli and their activity changes with training during reward-seeking tasks under uncertainty.
- As the rats learned the association between cues and rewards, BLA neurons showed sustained activity that correlated with behavior, indicating that they play a critical role in processing cues related to rewards.
- Inactivation of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) affected BLA activity and reduced the motivation for reward seeking, suggesting that BLA's cue-driven activity is influenced by cortical input and is essential for ongoing reward-seeking behavior.
