06.02.2022: Dissociating the beneficial and harmful effects of glucocorticoids to fight Alzheimer’s disease
Through longitudinal monitoring of cognitive and neurophysiological symptoms, we demonstrate that soluble and solid amyloidogenic pathways reorganize functional neuronal connectivity in diametrically opposed ways. The study published in the journal Acta Neuropathologica communication provides new therapeutic avenues.

01.25.2021. Vasopressin relieves social deficits in an autism mouse model
Oxytocin and vasopressin are intimately linked: The two hormones can communicate with each other’s receptors, says Sue Carter, professor emerita of biology at Indiana University in Bloomington, who was not involved in the study. So the fact that vasopressin seems to show similar effects as oxytocin in a MAGEL2 mouse model is not surprising, she says.
Spectrum News
For many years, vasopressin has been suspected of playing a role in autism spectrum disorder. Also called antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin is produced by certain brain neurons. It regulates various functions such as thirst and blood pressure but also plays a role in social interactions. Already in 2019, an American clinical trial showed that a nasal spray of vasopressin improved certain symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder. Researchers show that when vasopressin is administered directly into the brain of a mouse model of autism, their social behavior improves. A result which remains to be confirmed in a larger clinical trial.

11.08.2020: Diversity of glucocorticoid response is healthy:
Experience and activity-dependent control of glucocorticoid receptors during the stress response in large-scale brain networks
Damien Huzard, Virginie Rappeneau, Onno C. Meijer, Chadi Touma, Margarita Arango-Lievano, Michael J. Garabedian and Freddy Jeanneteau.
The diversity of actions of the glucocorticoid stress hormones among individuals and within organs, tissues and cells is shaped by age, gender, genetics, metabolism, and the quantity of exposure. However, such factors cannot explain the heterogeneity of responses in the brain within cells of the same lineage, or similar tissue environment, or in the same individual. Here, we argue that the stress response is continuously updated by synchronized neural activity on large-scale brain networks. This occurs at the molecular, cellular and behavioral levels by crosstalk communication between activity-dependent and glucocorticoid signaling pathways, which updates the diversity of responses based on prior experience. Such a Bayesian process determines adaptation to the demands of the body and external world. We propose a framework for understanding how the diversity of glucocorticoid actions throughout brain networks is essential for supporting optimal health, while its disruption may contribute to the pathophysiology of stress-related disorders, such as major depression, and resistance to therapeutic treatments.Keywords: Allostery, epigenetic, plasticity, synapse, stress-related disorders, Bayesian brain
