Converging evidence indicates an association of the short (s), low-expressing variant of the
repeat length polymorphism, serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) …

Current research supports the notion that the apparently innate trait Sensory Processing
Sensitivity (SPS) may act as a modulator of development as function of the environment …

Research programmes on oxidative stress and hormesis are wide ranging. Biomedical and
toxicological sciences have traditionally centralised such research, but in the last years we …

The comprehensive understanding of individual variation in behavioural profiles is a current
and timely topic not only in behavioural ecology, but also in biopsychological and …

This review describes the latest developments in our understanding of how the serotonergic
system modulates Pavlovian fear conditioning, fear expression and fear extinction. These …

Aggression, which comprises multi-faceted traits ranging from negative emotionality to
antisocial behaviour, is influenced by an interaction of biological, psychological and social …

Abstract The serotonin transporter (5-HTT) plays a critical role in the regulation of serotonin
neurotransmission. Mice genetically deficient in 5-HTT expression have been used to study …

While modern neurobiology methods are necessary they are not sufficient to elucidate
etiology and pathophysiology of affective disorders and develop new treatments …

The development of individual behavioural profiles can be powerfully influenced by stressful
social experiences. Using a comparative approach, we focus on the role of social stressors …

The interaction between the serotonin transporter (SERT) linked polymorphic region (5-
HTTLPR) and adverse early life stressing (ELS) events is associated with enhanced stress …
