Drinking pattern matters: effects on maternal care and offspring vulnerability to alcohol in rats
2015
Alcohol drinking during pregnancy and post-partum period is a major concern because of the persistent neurobehavioral deficits in the offspring, which include increased vulnerability to substance abuse (1). The intermittent pattern of alcohol consumption induces higher drinking levels and deeper neurobiological changes in addiction-related brain regions, with respect to traditional free-access paradigms in male rats (2, 3). Nevertheless, no studies investigated on the effects of the drinking pattern on female subjects during pregnancy and perinatal time. To this aim, this study explored the consequences of continuous vs. intermittent drinking pattern on maternal behaviour and on offspring v…
Patterns matter: continuous Vs intermittent access to ethanol differently affects withdrawal behavioural phenotype and maternal care in female rats.
2014
Modeling voluntary ethanol consumption in female rats is crucial for gaining further insight in gender-related vulnerability to alcohol. Since ethanol effects depend not only on the amount consumed, but also on drinking pattern, this study aimed at assessing the influence of continuous and intermittent ethanol self-administration on peculiar aspects of female behavioural repertoire during withdrawal and relapse. Female rats undergoing a 15-week-long, 20% ethanol continuous or intermittent (3days/week) access, respectively named CARs and IARs, were tested for alcohol intake (gr/kg) and preference. During withdrawal we assessed: novelty and reward preference in novel object exploration and sa…
Depresijas un uztvertā emocionālā siltuma bērnībā saistība ar mātes narcistiskām personības iezīmēm 18-44 gadus veciem pieaugušajiem
2022
Pētījuma mērķis bija izpētīt saistības starp depresiju, uztverto emocionālo siltumu bērnībā un mātes narcistiskām personības iezīmēm 18 – 44 gadus veciem pieaugušajiem. Pētījums tika veikts divās atkarīgās izlasēs. Pirmo izlasi veido 80 pieaugušie vecumā no 18 līdz 44 gadiem (M = 30,04, SD = 7,75), kas aizpildīja Epidemioloģijas pētījumu centra depresijas skalu (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (Eaton, Muntaner, Smith, Tien & Ybarra, 2004)), Latvijā aptauju adaptējušas M. Bērtule un I. Melne 2018. gadā (Bērtule & Melne, 2018), Vecāku attieksmes aptauju (Parental Bonding Instrument (Parker, Tupling & Brown, 1979)), Latvijā aptauju adaptējusi I. Bite 1998. gadā (Bite, 1998) u…
