4. 23. When the brain loses TrkBactivation : The effects of ketamine on BDNF-TrkB neurotransmission in animal models of depression

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för kemi och biomedicin (KOB)

   Author : Hanna Sädbom-Williams; [2021]
   Keywords : Ketamine; Depression; BDNF; TrkB; Animal model; Hippocampus; Prefrontal cortex;

   Abstract : Ketamine is a non-competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-channel blocker that has recently shown promise in the treatment of major depressive disorder, distinguishing itself from classical anti-depressants through its rapid and lasting effects when given at sub-anaesthetic doses. Animal models of depression are commonly used to research individual mechanisms of action and this literature review aimed to investigate how ketamine influences BDNF-TrkB neurotransmission in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex within animal models of depression.

   Keywords : Biocontrol; Biocontrol agent; Clonostachys rosea; Fusarium gramine-arum;

   Abstract : Fungicide use is the dominant direct method to control fungal pathogens on crops in agriculture. While effective, excessive use of them can be harmful to biodiversity and lead to fungicide resistance in pathogen populations. Biocontrol is an alternative where natural antagonistic organisms, called biocontrol agents (BCA), are used to protect crops. READ MORE
