    Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the role of the neuropeptide galanin and galanin receptor subtypes in behavioural functions with a particular focus on depression-like behaviour. In agreement with its wide distribution in the central nervous system, galanin has been implicated in various functions, including regulation of reproduction, endocrine functions, antinociception, attention, learning and memory as well as regulation of mood.

    Sammanfattning : Adverse conditions of different origin occurring during development can have a negative impact on the nervous system and increase risk for the onset of mental disorders. In mice prenatal exposure to excess glucocorticoids (GC) leads to late onset depression-like behaviour in males which is preceded by alterations in circadian entrainment. LÄS MER
