The impact of sugar consumption on stress driven, emotional and addictive behaviors.
Angela Jacques,Nicholas Chaaya,Kate Beecher,Syed Abid Ali,Arnauld Belmer,Selena E. Bartlett,Selena E. Bartlett +6 more
TL;DR: There is overwhelming evidence to support the hypothesis that sucrose consumption results in pathophysiological consequences such as morphological neuronal changes, altered emotional processing and modified behaviour in rodent and human models.

Contextual Fear Conditioning Alter Microglia Number and Morphology in the Rat Dorsal Hippocampus.
Nicholas Chaaya,Angela Jacques,Arnauld Belmer,Kate Beecher,Syed Abid Ali,Fatemeh Chehrehasa,Andrew R. Battle,Andrew R. Battle,Luke R. Johnson,Luke R. Johnson,Selena E. Bartlett +10 more
TL;DR: Results from this study demonstrate that contextual fear conditioning is capable of producing large alterations to dentate gyrus plasticity and microglia, whereas unpaired fear conditioning only produces minor changes tomicroglia morphology.
Long-Term Overconsumption of Sugar Starting at Adolescence Produces Persistent Hyperactivity and Neurocognitive Deficits in Adulthood.
Kate Beecher,Ignatius Alvarez Cooper,Joshua Wang,Shaun B. Walters,Fatemeh Chehrehasa,Selena E. Bartlett,Arnauld Belmer +6 more
TL;DR: This article found that long-term sugar consumption, at a level that significantly augments weight gain, elicits an abnormal hyperlocomotor response to novelty and alters both episodic and spatial memory.
Factors that modulate olfactory dysfunction.
TL;DR: This review explores the current studies that have addressed therapeutic approaches to improve olfactory neuron regeneration based on cell transplantation therapy, modulation of physiological Olfactory dysfunction and drug treatments.
