- Prenatal bisphenol A and/or diethylhexyl phthalate exposure followed by adult estradiol treatment affects behavior and brain monoamines in female rat offspringby Amrita Kaimal on January 22, 2025
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, prenatal EDC exposure altered behavior, hormones, and brain monoamines, with adult E2 treatment further exacerbating some of these effects in female offspring.

- Investigating heterogeneity across autism, ADHD, and typical development using measures of cortical thickness, surface area, cortical/subcortical volume, and structural covarianceby Younes Sadat-Nejad on January 22, 2025
INTRODUCTION: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism are multi-faceted neurodevelopmental conditions with limited biological markers. The clinical diagnoses of autism and ADHD are based on behavioural assessments and may not predict long-term outcomes or response to interventions and supports. To address this gap, data-driven methods can be used to discover groups of individuals with shared biological patterns.
- Parvalbumin interneurons in the anterior cingulate cortex exhibit distinct processing patterns for fear and memory in ratsby Muhammad Jahangir on January 22, 2025
The anterior cingulate cortex is responsible for multiple cognitive functions like fear, pain management, decision-making, risk and reward assessment, and memory consolidation. However, its cell-type-specific functions are not clearly understood. To reveal the selective functional role of Parvalbumin-expressing GABAergic interneurons in the ACC, we knocked down (KD) the PV gene in-vivo in rats. Behavioral tests showed significantly improved spatial memory (p = 0.01) in ACC-PV-KD rats compared to...
