Decoding moral emotions in obsessive-compulsive disorder

Background: Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) exhibit abnormal neural responses when they experience particular emotions or when they evaluate stimuli with emotional value.Whether these brain responses are Spritz sufficiently distinctive to discriminate between OCD patients and healthy controls is unknown.The present study is the fi

Both functional LTbeta receptor and TNF receptor 2 are required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria.

BackgroundTNF-related lymphotoxin alpha (LTalpha) is essential for the development of Plasmodium berghei ANKA (PbA)-induced experimental cerebral malaria (ECM).The pathway involved has been attributed to TNFR2.Here we show a second arm of LTalpha-signaling essential for ECM development through LTbeta-R, receptor of LTalpha1beta2 heterotrimer.Method

Exposure to elevated glucocorticoid during development primes altered transcriptional responses to acute stress in adulthood

Summary: Early life stress (ELS) is a major risk factor for developing psychiatric disorders, with glucocorticoids (GCs) implicated in mediating its effects in shaping adult phenotypes.In this process, exposure to high levels of developmental GC (hdGC) is thought to induce molecular changes that prime differential adult responses.However, identitie
