Prenatal stress and increased susceptibility to anxiety-like behaviors: role of neuroinflammation and balance between GABAergic and glutamatergic transmission

产前应激与焦虑样行为易感性的增加：神经炎症以及 GABA 能和谷氨酸能传递之间平衡的作用

作者：Shiva Roshan-Milani et al.

摘要：

Neuroplasticity during the prenatal period allows neurons to regenerate anatomically and functionally for re-programming the brain development. During this critical period of fetal programming, the fetus phenotype can change in accordance with environmental stimuli such as stress exposure. Prenatal stress (PS) can exert important effects on brain development and result in permanent alterations with long-lasting consequences on the physiology and behavior of the offspring later in life. Neuroinflammation, as well as GABAergic and glutamatergic dysfunctions, has been implicated as potential mediators of behavioral consequences of PS. Hyperexcitation, due to enhanced excitatory transmission or reduced inhibitory transmission, can promote anxiety. Alterations of the GABAergic and/or glutamatergic signaling during fetal development lead to a severe excitatory/inhibitory imbalance in neuronal circuits, a condition that may account for PS-precipitated anxiety-like behaviors. This review summarizes experimental evidence linking PS to an elevated risk to anxiety-like behaviors and interprets the role of the neuroinflammation and alterations of the brain GABAergic and glutamatergic transmission in this phenomenon. We hypothesize this is an imbalance in GABAergic and glutamatergic circuits (as a direct or indirect consequence of neuroinflammation), which at least partially contributes to PS-precipitated anxiety-like behaviors and primes the brain to be vulnerable to anxiety disorders. Therefore, pharmacological interventions with anti-inflammatory activities and with regulatory effects on the excitatory/inhibitory balance can be attributed to the novel therapeutic target for anxiety disorders.

Gut microbiota diversity but not composition is related to saliva cortisol stress response at the age of 2.5 months

肠道微生物群的多样性（而非组成）与 2.5 个月大时唾液皮质醇的应激反应有关

作者：Anniina Keskitalo et al.

摘要：

Human brain and intestinal microbes reportedly maintain a constant bidirectional connection through diverse neural, endocrine, immune, and metabolic pathways. Increasing evidence indicates that this communication system, referred to as microbiota-gut-brain axis, enables the gut microbes to influence several aspects of brain function and behavior, including hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis stress responses, and on the other hand, stress can affect gut microbiota. However, the role of gut microbiota in the HPA axis functioning in humans remains to be specified especially in early life. This study aimed at identifying the potential link between the cortisol stress response and the gut microbiota at the age of 2.5 months. Fecal microbiota profiles were acquired by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, while salivary cortisol responses after an exposure to a mild acute stressor represented the HPA axis reactivity. We observed that a blunted cortisol stress response was weakly associated with a diverse gut microbiota diversity at the age of 2.5 months. Gut microbiota composition was not associated with cortisol stress responsiveness, but rather with covariates, i.e. factors that influence gut microbiota composition and colonization.

LAY SUMMARY

This exploratory study aimed at identifying possible links between cortisol stress responses and fecal microbiota composition in early infancy. In a well-characterized study population of 2.5-month-old infants, we observed that an attenuated cortisol stress responsiveness after a mild stressor was weakly associated with a diverse fecal microbiota. Our results suggest that the gut microbiota composition is associated with environmental factors, such as delivery mode and number of siblings, rather than with cortisol stress responsiveness, in this age group.

Effects of technology-mediated mindfulness practice on stress: psychophysiological and self-report measures

以技术为媒介的正念练习对压力的影响：心理生理学和自我报告测量法

作者：Michela Balconi et al.

摘要：

Repeated exposure to stressors, even if mild, may alter the efficiency of optimal stress responses and hinder emotion regulation skills. Mindfulness meditation, by strengthening self-regulation and awareness, may optimize the efficiency of physiological, cognitive, and behavioral reactions to stressful events but typically requires notable commitment to practice, which often leads to disengagement. Recent research suggested that such practices may be made more accessible and that the potential for self-enhancement and stress management of meditation might be improved by supporting mental training with wearable neurofeedback devices able to inform the practicer on ongoing modulation of bodily and brain activity. This study aimed at testing the effect of such novel training approach based on the integration of mental training with brain-sensing wearable devices on physiological (heart rate and variability) and subjective markers of stress (perceived stress, anxiety, and mood states). Participants (N = 55) have been randomly divided into an active control (CONTg) and an experimental group (EXPg). Both groups completed a four-week training constituted by brief daily activities based on mindfulness practices. Experimental participants practiced with the support of dedicated brain-sensing devices. By analyzing pre- and post-training assessments, we observed relevantly decreased stress and anxiety measures in EXPg, as well as relevantly decreased mental fatigue and increased vigor. EXPg also showed improved physiological markers of vagal tone both at rest and during exposure to a cognitive stressor. Reported findings add to the limited available literature on potential effects of technology-supported mental training protocols for promoting subjective well-being and enhancing self-regulation

Children’s hair cortisol and hair testosterone concentrations in response to environmental changes: from summer holidays to school

儿童毛发皮质醇和毛发睾酮浓度对环境变化的反应：从暑假到学校

作者：Karin Schmid-Zalaudek et al.

摘要：

Elevated hair cortisol concentrations in children have been linked to several stress-related conditions, including school-related demands. However, little is known about changes in hair testosterone in children. The present study investigated changes in hair cortisol and hair testosterone concentrations in the time course of four months – from summer holidays until mid of autumn of the following school year – in 60, 10–12-year-old (11.31 ± 0.63) school children (29 girls). Children’s mental health was assessed by the strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) and related to hair cortisol and hair testosterone levels. Body mass index, waist-to-height ratio, and parental education were evaluated as potential confounders. In girls, the expected increase of hair cortisol concentrations was observed during school as compared to summer holidays, partly accounted for by peer- and emotional problems and the increase of HTC. In boys, hair cortisol and testosterone concentrations were significantly higher. Hair cortisol increased only slightly, while hair testosterone decreased significantly during school. The findings suggest a reciprocal influence of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, differentially affecting girls’ and boys’ hormone production in response to environmental changes.
