Abstract
Background Sleep deprivation (SD) impairs pre-stimulus inhibition, but the effect of quetiapine (QET) remains largely unknown. Objective This study aimed to investigate the behavioral and cognitive effects of QET in both naïve and sleep-deprived rats. Materials and methods Seven groups (n = 49) of male Wistar Albino rats were used in this study. SD was performed using the modified multiple platform technique in a water tank for 72 h. Our study consists of two experiments investigating the effect of QET on pre-pulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle reflex. The first experiment tested the effect of short- and long-term administration of QET on PPI response in non-sleeping (NSD) rats. The second experiment used 72 h REM sleep deprivation as a model for SD-induced impairment of the PPI response. Here, we tested the effect of QET on the % PPI of SD rats by short- and long-term intraperitoneal injection at the last 90 min of sleep SD and immediately subsequently tested for PPI. Results 72 h SD impaired PPI, reduced startle amplitude, and attenuated the PPI% at + 4 dB, + 8 dB, and + 16 dB prepulse intensities. 10 mg/kg short and long-term QET administration completely improved sensorimotor gating deficit, increased startle amplitude, and restored the impaired PPI% at + 4 dB, + 8 dB, and + 16 dB after 72 h SD in rats. Conclusion Our results showed short- and long-term administration of QET improved sensorimotor gating deficit in 72 h SD. Further research is required for the etiology of insomnia and the dose-related behavioral effects of QET.

Abstract
Background Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a pervasive mental health issue with significant diagnostic challenges. Electroencephalography (EEG) offers a non-invasive window into the neural dynamics associated with MDD, yet the diagnostic efficacy is contingent upon the appropriate selection of EEG features and brain regions. Methods In this study, resting-state EEG signals from both eyes-closed and eyes-open conditions were analyzed. We examined band power across various brain regions, assessed the asymmetry of band power between the hemispheres, and integrated these features with clinical characteristics of MDD into a diagnostic regression model. Results Regression analysis found significant predictors of MDD to be beta2 (16-24 Hz) power in the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) with eyes open (B = 20.092, p = 0.011), beta3 (24-40 Hz) power in the Medial Occipital Cortex (MOC) (B = -12.050, p < 0.001), and beta2 power in the Right Medial Frontal Cortex (RMFC) with eyes closed (B = 24.227, p < 0.001). Asymmetries in beta1 (12-16 Hz) power with eyes open (B = 28.047, p = 0.018), and in alpha (8-12 Hz, B = 9.004, p = 0.013) and theta (4-8 Hz, B = -13.582, p = 0.008) with eyes closed were also significant predictors. Conclusion The study confirms the potential of multi-region EEG analysis in improving the diagnostic precision for MDD. By including both neurophysiological and clinical data, we present a more robust approach to understanding and identifying this complex disorder. Limitations The research is limited by the sample size and the inherent variability in EEG signal interpretation. Future studies with larger cohorts and advanced analytical techniques are warranted to validate and refine these findings.

Abstract
Introduction Depending on the individual, exposure to an intense stressor may, or may not, lead to a stress-induced pathology. Predicting the physiopathological evolution in an individual is therefore an important challenge, at least for prevention. In this context, we developed an ethological model of simulated predator exposure in rats: we call this the multisensorial stress model (MSS). We hypothesized that: (i) MSS exposure can induce stress-induced phenotypes, and (ii) an electrocorticogram (ECoG) recorded before stress exposure can predict phenotypes observed after stress. Methods Forty-five Sprague Dawley rats were equipped with ECoG telemetry and divided into two groups. The Stress group (n = 23) was exposed to an MSS that combined synthetic fox feces odor deposited on filter paper, synthetic blood odor, and 22 kHz rodent distress calls; the Sham group (n = 22) was not exposed to any sensorial stimulus. Fifteen days after initial exposure, the two groups were re-exposed to a context that included a filter paper soaked with water as a traumatic object (TO) reminder. During this re-exposure, freezing behavior and avoidance of the filter paper were measured. Results Three behaviors were observed in the Stress group: 39% developed a fear memory phenotype (freezing, avoidance, and hyperreactivity); 26% developed avoidance and anhedonia; and 35% made a full recovery. We also identified pre-stress ECoG biomarkers that accurately predicted cluster membership. Decreased chronic 24 h frontal Low θ relative power was associated with resilience; increased frontal Low θ relative power was associated with fear memory; and decreased parietal β2 frequency was associated with the avoidant-anhedonic phenotype. Discussion These predictive biomarkers open the way to preventive medicine for stress-induced diseases.

Abstract
Objective Although Traditional Chinese Yijinjing Qigong Exercise (YJJQE) as mind–body intervention is popularly used among adults to ameliorate depressive symptoms in China, no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are available to evaluate the effects of YJJQE in patients with poststroke depression (PSD). This study aims to explore the clinical efficacy and the neurological and psychiatric mechanism in brain network functional connectivity underlying electroencephalography (EEG). Materials and methods A total of 60 patients, diagnosed with mild PSD, were randomly (1:1) assigned to YJJQE group (n = 30) and control group of routine segmental rehabilitation training group (n = 30) for a 60-min exercise session once a day for 3 weeks. All outcome measures were collected at baseline and 3-weeks ending intervention. The primary outcome was the 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-24) score, evaluation at more time points for 1 month of follow-up. The secondary outcomes were EEG data in four frequency domains (δ, θ, α, and β), global efficiency (GE), local efficiency (LE), GE/LE curve [areas under the curve (AUC)], Phase Lag Index (PLI), (HAMD-24) Score and EEG correlation analysis. Results All patients showed no significant differences in baseline data. After 3 weeks and 1 month of follow-up, the YJJQE group demonstrated significant decreasing changes compared to the control group on the HAMD-24 scores (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the YJJQE group also showed a significant reduction in θ wave, and an increase in both GE and LE. Compared to the control group, the YJJQE Qigong group showed significantly greater functional connectivity in the δ, θ, and β frequency bands in the brain network of the degree of phase synchronization (p < 0.001). HAMD-24 Score and EEG correlation analysis negative correlation in the Qigong group θ wave (p < 0.001). Conclusion Our findings demonstrated that YJJQE is estimated to effectively alleviate the depressed mood of patients with PSD by promoting the efficiency in information transmission of network functional connectivity and its integration ability in different brain regions. Therefore, the YJJQE would be useful as a non-pharmacological treatment to prevent PSD. Clinical trial registration [http://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=55789], identifier [ChiCTR2000035588].

Abstract
Previously, a sub-population of defeated anesthetized rats (Dlow) was characterized by persistent low blood levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) at day 29 and autonomic alteration at day 30 after social challenge, while the other population (Dhigh) was similar to non-defeated (ND) animals. The aims of this study were to determine the time-course of autonomic dysfunction in awake animals, and whether Dhigh and/or Dlow were vulnerable to cardiac events. Defeated animals were exposed to four daily episodes of social defeats from day 1 to day 4. At day 30, anesthetized Dlow displayed decreased experimental and spontaneous reflex responses reflecting lower parasympathetic efficiency. In addition, Dlow but not Dhigh were characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy at day 30. Telemetric recordings revealed that Dlow had increased low frequency-to-high frequency ratio (LF/HF) and diastolic (DBP) and systolic (SBP) blood pressure, associated with decreased HF and spontaneous baroreflex responses (BRS) from day 3 to day 29. LF/HF, DBP and SBP recovered at day 5, and HF and BRS recovered at day 15 in Dhigh. Ventricular premature beats (VPBs) occurred in Dlow and Dhigh animals from day 5. Time course of VBP fluctuations in Dhigh mirrored that of HF and BRS, but not that of LF/HF, DBP and SBP. These results suggest that a psychosocial stress associated to low serum BDNF levels can lead to vulnerability to persistent autonomic dysfunction, cardiac hypertrophy and ventricular ectopic beats. The parasympathetic recovery seen in Dhigh may provide protection against cardiac events in this population.

Effects of Single Cage Housing on Stress, Cognitive, and Seizure Parameters in the Rat and Mouse Pilocarpine Models of Epilepsy. eNeuro 2019; 6:ENEURO.0179-18.2019.

Abstract
Many experimental approaches require housing rodents in individual cages, including in epilepsy research. However, rats and mice are social animals; and individual housing constitutes a stressful situation. The goal of the present study was to determine the effects of individual housing as compared to conditions maintaining social contact on stress markers and epilepsy. Control male mice socially housed during pretest and then transferred to individual cages for six weeks displayed anhedonia, increased anxiety and biological markers of stress as compared to pretest values or mice kept socially housed during six weeks. Pilocarpine (pilo)-treated mice housed together showed increased levels of anhedonia, anxiety and stress markers as well as decreased cognitive performance as compared to the control group. The differences were more significant in pilo-treated mice housed individually. Anxiety correlated linearly with cognitive performance and stress markers independently of the experimental conditions. In the male rat pilo model, seizures were sixteen times more frequent in singly housed animals as compared to animals kept in pairs. Daily interactions with an experimenter in otherwise singly housed animals was sufficient to produce results identical to those found in animals kept in pairs. We propose that social isolation produces a severe phenotype in terms of stress and seizure frequency as compared to animals maintaining social contact (at least in these two models), a factor that needs to be taken into account for data interpretation, in particular for preclinical studies.

Antioxidant treatment after epileptogenesis onset prevents comorbidities in rats sensitized by a past stressful event. Epilepsia 2019; 60:648-655.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Unresolved past stressful events can induce a state of vulnerability to epilepsy and comorbidities. Using an experimental model of stress-induced vulnerability to depression, we tested whether an antioxidant treatment applied after the onset of epileptogenesis was disease modifying and could prevent the occurrence of comorbidities. METHODS We used social defeat (SD) to trigger a state of vulnerability in half of the SD-exposed population of rats. One month after SD, we used repeated injections of kainic acid to trigger status epilepticus (SE). One subset of animals was treated after SE during 2 weeks with Tempol, a strong antioxidant. Supradural 24/7 recordings were used to assess the development of epilepsy. We assessed spatial and nonspatial memory as well as a depressionlike profile 6 weeks after SE. RESULTS Serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels decreased after SD in all animals and recovered to pre-SD levels 1 month later in half of them (SDN group). The other half kept low serum BDNF levels (SDL group). At that stage, SDN and SDL animals do not present a depressionlike profile. The SDL group was more sensitive than the SDN group to epileptogenic conditions. Following SE, the SDL group displayed accelerated epileptogenesis, a depressionlike profile, and severe cognitive deficits as compared to SDN rats. Transient Tempol treatment was disease-modifying, reducing the number of seizures, and prevented the development of comorbidities in the SDL group. Tempol treatment normalized oxidative stress in the SDL group to SDN levels. SIGNIFICANCE This study illustrates the disease-modifying effect of antioxidant treatment after the onset of epileptogenesis in a population rendered vulnerable by past stressful events. The transient treatment decreased seizure burden and had long-term effects, preventing the occurrence of a depressionlike profile and cognitive deficits. We propose that vulnerability to comorbidities can be reversed after the onset of epilepsy.

Abstract
Epilepsy is a neurologic condition which often occurs with other neurologic and psychiatric disorders. The relation between epilepsy and these conditions is complex. Some population-based studies have identified a bidirectional relation, whereby not only patients with epilepsy are at increased risk of suffering from some of these neurologic and psychiatric disorders (migraine, stroke, dementia, autism, depression, anxiety disorders, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and psychosis), but also patients with these conditions are at increased risk of suffering from epilepsy. The existence of common pathogenic mechanisms has been postulated as a potential explanation of this phenomenon. To reassess the relationships between neurological and psychiatric conditions in general, and specifically autism, depression, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and epilepsy, a recent meeting brought together basic researchers and clinician scientists entitled "Epilepsy as a Network Disorder." This was the fourth in a series of conferences, the "Fourth International Halifax Conference and Retreat". This manuscript summarizes the proceedings on potential relations between Epilepsy on the one hand and autism and depression on the other. A companion manuscript provides a summary of the proceedings about the relation between epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, closed by the role of translational research in clarifying these relationships. The review of the topics in these two manuscripts will provide a better understanding of the mechanisms operant in some of the common neurologic and psychiatric comorbidities of epilepsy.
