Chronic mild stress-induced alterations of local protein synthesis: a role for cognitive impairment
Depression, a major cause of disability worldwide, is characterized by a complex and heterogeneous symptomatology. With this respect, cognitive deterioration represents a major problem that has a strong impact on patient's function. Thus, within the context of a depressive phenotype, it is important to characterize the mechanisms that sustain cognitive dysfunctions and may represent an important target for pharmacological intervention. Here, using the chronic mild stress (CMS) paradigm of depression, we found that, independently from the anhedonic phenotype, CMS rats showed a deficit in the novel object recognition (NOR) test, which is associated with an inability to phosphorylate GluN2B subunit on Ser1303 and to activate the mTOR pathway. In agreement with the role of these systems in the control of local protein synthesis, we observed an increase phosphorylated of the eukaryotic Elongation Factor 2 (eEF2) in the crude synaptosomal fraction after the NOR test specifically in control animals. Since it has been demonstrated that peEF2 leads to the translation of specific mRNAs, we investigated if the gene-specific translational control depends on the presence of uORFs. Interestingly, we found a significant increase of oligophrenin-1 (2 uORFs) and of Bmal1 (7 uORFs) protein levels specifically in the control animals exposed to the NOR test. Our results demonstrated that the cognitive decline associated with stress exposure might be due to alterations in local protein translation of specific mRNAs, suggesting that a pharmacological intervention able to correct these defects might be useful in the improvement of deteriorated functions in patients with major depression and stress-related disorders

Effect of lurasidone treatment on chronic mild stress-induced behavioural deficits in male rats: The potential role for glucocorticoid receptor signalling
Background: Stress represents one of the main precipitating factors for psychiatric diseases, characterised by an altered function of glucocorticoid receptors (GR), known to play a role in mood and cognitive function. We investigated the ability of the antipsychotic lurasidone to modulate the involvement of genomic and non-genomic GR signalling in the behavioural alterations due to chronic stress exposure Methods: Male Wistar rats were exposed to seven weeks of chronic mild stress (CMS) and treated with lurasidone (3 mg/kg/day) starting from the second week of stress for more five weeks. Gene expression and protein analyses were conducted in dorsal hippocampus. Results: Seven weeks of CMS induced anhedonia and cognitive impairment, which were normalised by lurasidone. At molecular level, CMS rats showed an increase of GR protein levels by 60% (p<0.001 vs. CTRL/VEH) in the membrane compartment, which was paralleled by an up-regulation of phosphoSINAPSYN Ia/b by 88% (p<0.01 vs. CTRL/VEH) and of the mitochondrial marker Cox3 by 21% (p<0.05 vs. CTRL/VEH). Moreover, while exposure to the novel object recognition test increased the nuclear translocation of GRs by 96% (p<0.01 vs. CTRL/VEH/Naïve) and their transcriptional activity in non-stressed rats, such mechanisms were impaired in CMS rats. Interestingly, the genomic and non-genomic alterations of GR, induced by CMS, were normalised by lurasidone. Conclusion: Our results further support the role of glucocorticoid signalling in the dysfunction associated with stress exposure. We provide novel insights on the mechanism of lurasidone, suggesting its effectiveness on different domains associated with psychiatric disorders
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
