Aging is associated with blood–brain barrier (BBB) breakdown and microvascular rarefaction, key contributors to cerebral neuroinflammation, hypoperfusion, and vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). Exposure to a young systemic milieu through heterochronic parabiosis has been shown to restore BBB integrity and enhance cerebrovascular function in aged mice, suggesting that circulating factors can rejuvenate the aging...
Peanut stunt virus (PSV; genus Cucumovirus , family Bromoviridae ) was identified infecting black locust ( Robinia pseudoacacia L.) in Slovakia, representing an unusual host for this legume-infecting virus. Using high-throughput sequencing, three nearly complete tripartite genomes of PSV (designated AG6, AG19, and AG25) were obtained from naturally infected black locust trees. These isolates showed high mutual nucleotide ident...
The Asia region harbors exceptional chondrichthyan (shark, ray, and chimaera) diversity but faces intense fishing pressure. The Important Shark and Ray Areas (ISRA) process provides a collaborative, evidence-based framework to identify critical habitats and inform spatial management. We assessed ISRAs across the Bay of Bengal, Southeast Asia, and the Northwest Pacific to characterize their extent, ecological significance, and...
Aging profoundly alters the neuromotor and cognitive systems that support gait control, leading to increased variability and instability that predict functional decline and dementia risk. In this pilot study, conducted to inform the design of the Semmelweis Study gait assessment pipeline, we examined how aging and cognitive load influence the magnitude and temporal organization of gait fluctuations. The Semmelweis Study is a l...
Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) affects ~ 50 million individuals worldwide and is associated with alterations in brain reward pathways. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) show promise in reducing substance use and aberrant brain function in substance use disorders (SUD), but the effects on CUD or brain reward function have not been investigated. To examine whether a 2-week MBI vs. active control (i.e., closely matched relaxati...
Nonapeptide cell size differs between male morphs of the West African cichlid, Pelvicachromis pulcherNARA Subscribed
Alternative male morphs are found in many species of fishes. These morphs often differ in suites of social behaviours, such as aggression and territoriality, associated with alternative reproductive tactics. Such consistent morph‐typical behavioural profiles suggest common differences in underlying neuroendocrine mechanisms. The nonapeptide hormones oxytocin and vasotocin are linked to a wide range of behaviours, including agg...
Global Analysis of Shallow Underwater Fish Observation Research: 70 Years of Progress, Persistent Geographic Biases and a Path ForwardNARA Subscribed
Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by overfishing, pollution, coastal development and climate change, underscoring the need for long‐term, representative information on key fish populations and habitats to inform management and policy. Underwater fish observation (UFObs) techniques, such as Underwater Visual Census (UVC), stereo‐Baited Remote Underwater Video (stereo‐BRUV) and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), play...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Cerebellar Time and Relative Time: A Comparator-Based Dynamical Timing Model and its Relevance to Psychopathology and TherapiesNARA Subscribed
Time perception is fundamental to adaptive behavior, providing the scaffold for prediction, coordination, and learning. The cerebellum has long been recognized as a core hub for interval timing, yet its role extends beyond motor control to perceptual chronometry, reinforcement learning, and affective regulation. Here we introduce a novel framework, a Comparator-Based Dynamical Timing (CDT) model which describes distortions of...
The negative and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia are predictive of quality of life and functional recovery, but there are no approved drug options that target these symptoms directly. TAK-041 (also known as NBI-1065846) is a selective and potent small-molecule agonist of GPR139, an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor, which has been shown to reverse deficits related to negative and cognitive symptoms in animal models. In thi...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
