    Abstract Emotion regulation (ER) involves both a goal (e.g., to feel less emotion) and a strategy (e.g., reappraisal). To clarify the impact of ER goals on emotional responding, we conducted a within-participant study (N = 156) in which we held the strategy constant (reappraisal) to isolate the impact of regulation goals. We compared the impact of a quantitative goal (changing emotion quantity/intensity) with that of a qualitative goal (changing emotion quality/type) on emotional responses to negative and positive pictures. We manipulated ER goals by cuing participants to continue viewing the picture (unregulated/no ER goal) or to reappraise it to decrease its predominant affective impact (quantitative goal) or increase its opposite-valence impact (qualitative goal). We assessed emotional responses through self-reported feelings and facial expressions (corrugator supercilii and zygomaticus major electromyography). Our findings suggest that the type of regulation goal has a differential effect on emotional responses, with qualitative goals being more effective in modulating both negative and positive emotions. For negative stimuli, attempts to use a quantitative goal decreased negative but not positive emotional responses (uncoupled negative deactivation). Conversely, attempts to use a qualitative goal decreased negative and increased positive emotional responses (reciprocal positive activation). For positive stimuli, the quantitative goal generated uncoupled positive deactivation, while the qualitative goal produced reciprocal negative activation. Results highlight the importance of considering specific regulation goals in shaping emotional responses. Future research in the field of ER may benefit from identifying and manipulating different goals and strategies to understand how to effectively regulate emotions.

  6. Article ; Online: Wild ungulates and shrub control interact to restore herbaceous vegetation in shrub-encroached mesic grassland of South Africa

    Abstract Shrub encroachment threatens grassland ecosystem services including herbaceous plant diversity, productivity, and overall grazing capacity. Hence, various shrub control methods including mechanical removal and herbicides are applied to restore herbaceous vegetation. However, the knowledge regarding the outcomes of integrated shrub management on herbaceous vegetation is limited. We investigated herbaceous vegetation responses after 7 years following the integration of shrub control and herbivory at Telperion Nature Reserve, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. In a split-plot experiment using four enclosures and non-enclosures as main plots, we randomly assigned each of the following treatments in four 4 × 4-m subplots in each main plot: 1) foliar metsulfuron-methyl herbicide, 2) 50% mechanical shrub removal, 3) 100% removal, and 4) no removal (untreated controls). A one-off Seriphium plumosum removal and the application of species-specific herbicide were conducted in 2015. Shrub control by herbivory interaction was significant (p < 0.05) for herbaceous canopy cover, basal cover, density, and species richness. The effects of herbivory were significant (p < 0.05) in the 50% removal treatment, increasing herbaceous plant diversity, density, and richness to the same level as 100% removal and herbicide treatments. In enclosures, however, the 50% shrub removal treatment attained relatively low herbaceous plant cover, density, species diversity, and richness compared to the herbicide treatment. Overall, this study revealed that herbivory and shrub control interact to facilitate herbaceous vegetation restoration, with 50% shrub removal by herbivory combination showing potential for management of S. plumosum-encroached grasslands.

    Abstract During drug discovery, small molecules are typically assayed in vitro for secondary pharmacology effects, which include ion channels relevant to cardiac electrophysiology. Compound A was an irreversible inhibitor of myeloperoxidase investigated for the treatment of peripheral artery disease. Oral doses in dogs at ≥5 mg/kg resulted in cardiac arrhythmias in a dose-dependent manner (at Cmax, free ≥1.53 μM) that progressed in severity with time. Nevertheless, a panel of 13 different cardiac ion channel (K, Na, and Ca) assays, including hERG, failed to identify pharmacologic risks of the molecule. Compound A and a related Compound B were evaluated for electrophysiological effects in the isolated rabbit ventricular wedge assay. Compounds A and B prolonged QT and Tp-e intervals at ≥1 and ≥.3 μM, respectively, and both prolonged QRS at ≥5 μM. Compound A produced early after depolarizations and premature ventricular complexes at ≥5 μM. These data indicate both compounds may be modulating hERG (I

    Abstract Maternal immune activation (MIA) at the time of gestation has been linked to increased risk of neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders. Animal and human models have been used to evaluate the relationship between MIA and these outcomes. Given that each of these two disciplines of study have their benefits and limitations, a translational perspective is expected to illuminate more than by the use of any single approach. In this article, we discuss this translational framework and explore how it may be enhanced by the utilization of epigenetic studies and by investigating the microbiome. In this perspectives piece, we focus on the impact of epidemiologic studies, animal models, and preclinical studies in the literature on MIA as well as the potential for greater integration between fields.

    Abstract Background: Everolimus, an allosteric mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, recently demonstrated the therapeutic value of mTOR inhibitors for Central Nervous System (CNS) indications driven by hyperactivation of mTOR. A newer, potent brain-penetrant analog of everolimus, referred to as (1) in this manuscript [(S)-3-methyl-4-(7-((R)-3-methylmorpholino)-2-(thiazol-4-yl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-yl)morpholine,(1)] catalytically inhibits mTOR function in the brain and increases the lifespan of mice with neuronal mTOR hyperactivation.
    Introduction: Early evaluation of the safety of 1 was conducted in cynomolgus monkeys in which oral doses were administered to three animals in a rising-dose fashion (from 2 to 30 mg/kg/day). 1 produced severe toxicity including the evidence of hepatic toxicity, along with non-dose proportional increases in drug exposure. Investigations of cross-species hepatic bioactivation of 1 were conducted to assess whether the formation of reactive drug metabolites was associated with the mechanism of liver toxicity.
    Method: 1 contained two morpholine rings known as structural alerts and can potentially form reactive intermediates through oxidative metabolism. Bioactivation of 1 was investigated in rat, human and monkey liver microsomes fortified with trapping agents such as methoxylamine or potassium cyanide.
    Results: Our results suggest that bioactivation of the morpholine moieties to reactive intermediates may have been involved in the mechanism of liver toxicity observed with 1. Aldehyde intermediates trappable by methoxylamine were identified in rat and monkey liver microsomal studies. In addition, a total of four cyano conjugates arising from the formation of iminium ion intermediates were observed and identified. These findings may potentially explain the observed monkey toxicity. Interestingly, methoxylamine or cyano adducts of 1 were not observed in human liver microsomes.
    Conclusion: The bioactivation of 1 appears to be species-specific. Circumstantial evidence for the toxicity derived from 1 point to the formation of iminium ion intermediates trappable by cyanide in monkey liver microsomes. The cyano conjugates were only observed in monkey liver microsomes, potentially pointing to cause at least the hepatotoxicity observed in monkeys. In contrast, methoxylamine conjugates were detected in both rat and monkey liver microsomes, with only a trace amount in human liver microsomes. Cyano conjugates were not observed in human liver microsomes, challenging the team on the drugability and progressivity of 1 through drug development. The mechanisms for drug-induced liver toxicity are multifactorial. These results are highly suggestive that the iminium ion may be an important component in the mechanism of liver toxicity 1 observed in the monkey.
