Brain scans may provide clues to suicide risk

Neuroimaging can be used to assess a person's risk of suicidal behavior. Those with mood disorders, a history of suicidal thoughts, and those with a history of suicide attempts have less connectivity in the cognitive control network. They also have reduced connectivity between the cognitive control network and the default mode network.

Researchers are finding molecular mechanisms behind women’s biological clock

Study of female fertility from age 9 to menopause reveals specific mechanisms that may affect fertility at different ages. The mechanisms depend on naturally occurring chromosome errors that vary depending on age.

PTSD has strong genetic component like other psychiatric disorders

Genetic data from more than 200,000 people reveals PTSD, like many other psychiatric disorders, is highly polygenic. Six loci harbor variants were strongly associated with an increased risk of PTSD. The loci hints that inflammatory and immune mechanisms may be involved in the disorder. The study also revealed a significant overlap with 21 genes implicated in depression, schizophrenia, neuroticism, insomnia, asthma, and coronary artery disease.

Scientists reverse core symptom of schizophrenia in adult mice

Neuronal branches in SETD1A deficient mice are shorter and stunted. Switching off another gene, LSD1, nullifies the harmful effects of SETD1A on neuron and axon growth. After inhibiting LSD1, SETD1A deficient mice showed improved memory and axon growth. Inhibiting LSD1 not only acted on memory deficits linked to schizophrenia but also acted on the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with axonal growth.
