          Abnormal 12-Hour Cyclic Gene Activity Found in Schizophrenic Brains

          Postmortem brains of those with schizophrenia have fewer genes associated with 12-hour activity cycles in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Mitochondrial-related genes in the dlPFC did maintain a 12-hour rhythm, but their activity did not peak at normal times.

          Abnormal Brain Changes Over Time With Bipolar Disorder

          Cortical thinning over time was associated with bipolar patients who experienced more manic episodes. The changes were most evident in the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain associated with emotional control and executive function.

          Age and Alzheimer’s Related Brain Decline Linked to Little-Studied Enzyme

          The HDAC9 enzyme appears to play a critical role in learning and neural communication. Decreased expression of HDAC9 in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex has been noted in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers say HDAC9 may be a regulator of synaptic plasticity.

          All Too Human: The Price We Pay for Our Advanced Brains May Be a Greater Tendency to Disorders

          Researchers report the neural code of the prefrontal cortex is more efficient than the amygdala in both humans and primates. The lower resistance of the amygdala to errors in humans may play a role in exaggerated survival responses, such as those seen in anxiety and PTSD.

          Altered Brain Activity in Antisocial Teenagers

          Neuroimaging reveals lower activation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and angular gyrus in teenage girls with conduct disorder. Findings suggest that a reduction in prefrontal brain regions and functional connectivity during effortful emotional regulations contribute to behaviors associated with antisocial behavior in teenage girls.
