Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is widely used for studying resting-state brain connectivity. However, MEG source imaging is ill posed and has limited spatial resolution. This introduces source-leakage issues, making it challenging to interpret MEG-derived connectivity in resting states. To address ...

What are the psychological implications of developmental exposure to the physical and social environment of one's community, with its threats and rewards? The cultural shaping of enacted autonomy-or self-reliance in an environment that includes real and perceived threats-has largely been overlooked despite historical changes in this domain. Responses ...

Efforts to use genome-wide assays or brain scans to diagnose autism have seen diminishing returns. Yet the clinical intuition of healthcare professionals, based on longstanding first-hand experience, remains the gold standard for diagnosis of autism. We leveraged deep learning to deconstruct and interrogate the logic of expert clinician intuition from cli ...

The World Health Organization recommends using + 2 SD of body mass index z-score (zBMI) to define overweight/obesity (OWO) in children ages 2 to 5 years whereas + 1 SD is used as cut-point from 5 years onwards. Empirical evidence for using different cut-points across childhood is lacking. Our objective was to compare the ability of OWO in early childhood ...

Background: Mirtazapine promotes sleep by blocking serotonin and histaminergic receptors and is often used off-label to treat chronic insomnia. However, its efficacy remains to be demonstrated in a clinical trial. The MIRAGE study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of mirtazapine in older ...

As a major component of intracellular trafficking, the coat protein complex II (COPII) is indispensable for cellular function during embryonic development and throughout life. The four SEC24 proteins (A-D) are essential COPII components involved in cargo selection and packaging. A human disorder ...

In Alzheimer's disease, there is an imbalance in neurotransmitter release and altered neuronal activation. Here, we present a protocol approach to analyze neuronal activity by combining local field potential (LFP) recording with microdialysis within the same animal. We describe steps for measuring glutamate and GABA levels following hippocampal amyloi ...

Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) is a socioeconomically important fish species for fisheries, aquaculture and aquatic conservation. We produced a 2.5 Gb reference assembly by combining Hi-C chromosome conformation capture with high-coverage short- and long-read sequencing of a fully homozygous ...
