Stancampiano R, Frau R, Bini V, Collu M, Carta M, Fadda F, et al.
Eur Neuropsychopharmacol . 2012 Nov; 23(10):1329-35. PMID: 23141373
The neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) exerts a multifaceted function in the modulation of information processing, through the activation of multiple receptor families. In particular, stimulation of 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A) receptors...

Frau R, Pillolla G, Bini V, Tambaro S, Devoto P, Bortolato M
Psychoneuroendocrinology . 2012 Aug; 38(4):542-51. PMID: 22877998
Converging lines of evidence point to the involvement of neurosteroids in the regulation of dopamine (DA) neurotransmission and signaling, yet the neurobiological bases of this link remain poorly understood. We...

Bortolato M, Godar S, Alzghoul L, Zhang J, Darling R, Simpson K, et al.
Int J Neuropsychopharmacol . 2012 Aug; 16(4):869-88. PMID: 22850464
Converging lines of evidence show that a sizable subset of autism-spectrum disorders (ASDs) is characterized by increased blood levels of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), yet the mechanistic link between these two...

Marongiu M, Poddie D, Porcu S, Manchinu M, Castelli M, Sogos V, et al.
PLoS One . 2012 May; 7(4):e35013. PMID: 22558109
Although several genes are implicated in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, in animal models for such a severe mental illness only some aspects of the pathology can be represented (endophenotypes). Genetically...

Devoto P, Frau R, Bini V, Pillolla G, Saba P, Flore G, et al.
Psychoneuroendocrinology . 2011 Oct; 37(10):1630-45. PMID: 22029952
Cogent evidence highlights a key role of neurosteroids and androgens in schizophrenia. We recently reported that inhibition of steroid 5α-reductase (5αR), the rate-limiting enzyme in neurosteroid synthesis and androgen metabolism,...

Bortolato M, Frau R, Bini V, Luesu W, Loriga R, Collu M, et al.
J Psychiatr Res . 2010 Apr; 44(14):944-55. PMID: 20378129
Cannabis is the most common secondary illicit substance in methamphetamine (METH) users, yet the outcomes of the concurrent consumption of both substances remain elusive. Capitalizing on recent findings on the...

Bortolato M, Frau R, Piras A, Luesu W, Bini V, Diaz G, et al.
Neurotox Res . 2009 Apr; 15(3):232-45. PMID: 19384596
Methamphetamine (METH) abuse is known to induce persistent cognitive and behavioral abnormalities, in association with alterations in serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) systems, yet the neurobiological mechanisms underpinning this link...
