Acute and genomic effects of Thyroid Hormones on the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) heart
Spanos, Georgios (Master thesis, 2022)Farmed salmon suffer from a variety of heart pathologies that impair cardiac function and ultimately contribute to cardiac failure and mortality. Thyroid hormones (TH) have well-studied cardioprotective effects in mammals, ... -
Behavioural effects of the common brain-infecting parasite Pseudoloma neurophilia in laboratory zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Midttun, Helene Louise Eghave; Vindas, Marco; Nadler, Lauren Elizabeth; Øverli, Øyvind; Johansen, Ida Beitnes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Research conducted on model organisms may be biased due to undetected pathogen infections. Recently, screening studies discovered high prevalence of the microsporidium Pseudoloma neurophilia in zebrafish (Danio rerio) ... -
Brain-encysting trematodes (Euhaplorchis californiensis) decrease raphe serotonergic activity in California killifish (Fundulus parvipinnis)
Helland-Riise, Siri Helene; Vindas, Marco; Johansen, Ida Beitnes; Nadler, Lauren Elizabeth; Weinersmith, Kelly L.; Hechinger, Ryan F.; Øverli, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Modulation of brain serotonin (5-HT) signalling is associated with parasite-induced changes in host behaviour, potentially increasing parasite transmission to predatory final hosts. Such alterations could have substantial ... -
Brain-infecting parasites leave lasting effects on behaviour even in resistant hosts
Vindas, Marco; Midttun, Helene Louise Eghave; Nadler, Lauren Elizabeth; Fontaine, Romain; Weltzien, Finn-Arne; Øverli, Øyvind; Johansen, Ida Beitnes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Characterizing and reversing the salmonid depression-like state profile
Shapouri, Sheyda (Master thesis, 2020)Depressive or anxious symptoms are typically connected to chronic and unpredictable high-stress situations or otherwise adverse experiences. In aquaculture, hierarchical disputes and confrontations between individuals in ... -
Depression-like state behavioural outputs may confer beneficial outcomes in risky environments
Vindas, Marco; Helland-Riise, Siri Helene; Nilsson, Göran Erik; Øverli, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Recent theories in evolutionary medicine have suggested that behavioural outputs associated with depression-like states (DLS) could be an adaptation to unpredictable and precarious situations. In animal models, DLS are ... -
Depression-like state behavioural outputs may confer beneficial outcomes in risky environments
Vindas, Marco; Helland-Riise, Siri Helene; Nilsson, Göran Erik; Øverli, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019) -
Effects of Pseudoloma neurophilia infection on the brain transcriptome in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Midttun, Helene Louise Eghave; Vindas, Marco; Whatmore, Paul J; Øverli, Øyvind; Johansen, Ida Beitnes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Laboratory zebrafish are commonly infected with the intracellular, brain‐infecting microsporidian parasite Pseudoloma neurophilia . Chronic P. neurophilia infections induce inflammation in meninges, brain and spinal cord, ... -
Intensive smolt production is associated with deviating cardiac morphology in atlantic salmon
Frisk, Michael; Høyland, Maren; Zhang, Lili; Vindas, Marco; Øverli, Øyvind; Johansen, Ida Beitnes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)High pre-slaughter mortality rates of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) are a reoccurring welfare issue and economic burden in aquaculture. Sudden death immediately prior to slaughter is particularly problematic given the ... -
Neurobiology of wild and hatchery-reared Atlantic salmon: How nurture drives neuroplasticity
Mes, Daan; von Krogh, Kristine; Gorissen, Marnix; Mayer, Ian; Vindas, Marco (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Parasite induced changes in neuronal activity : is the parasitic eye-fluke (Diplostomum spp.) manipulating its Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) host?
Gunnes, Mikkel (Master thesis, 2022)Many parasites possess complex lifecycles and depend on several host species to complete their lifecycle. Some parasites even manipulate their hosts phenotype in a way that facilitates trophic transmission to their final ... -
Persistent immune responses in the heart determine the outcome of cardiomyopathy syndrome in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Sun, Baojian; Vindas, Marco; Kavaliauskiene, Simona; Bjørgen, Håvard; Koppang, Erling Olaf; Wisløff, Helene; Frisk, Michael; Lund, Hege; Johansen, Ida Beitnes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024) -
Regional Distribution of a Brain-Encysting Parasite Provides Insight on Parasite-Induced Host Behavioral Manipulation
Helland-Riise, Siri Helene; Nadler, Lauren Elizabeth; Vindas, Marco; Bengston, Erik; Turner, Andrew; Johansen, Ida Beitnes; Weinersmith, Kelly L.; Hechinger, Ryan F.; Øverli, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
Short-term cortisol exposure alters cardiac hypertrophic and non-hypertrophic signalling in a time-dependent manner in rainbow trout
Nørstrud, Karoline S.; Vindas, Marco; Nilsson, Göran Erik; Johansen, Ida Beitnes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Cardiac disease is a growing concern in farmed animals, and stress has been implicated as a factor for myocardial dysfunction and mortality in commercial fish rearing. We recently showed that the stress hormone cortisol ... -
Swimming exercise enhances brain plasticity in fish
Mes, Daan; Palstra, Arjan P.; Henkel, Christiaan; Mayer, Ian; Vindas, Marco (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)It is well-established that sustained exercise training can enhance brain plasticity and boost cognitive performance in mammals, but this phenomenon has not received much attention in fish. The aim of this study was to ...
