Electrical stimulation at the lateral habenula causes an instantaneous remission of depressive symptoms in two rat models, with more medial stimulation sites exhibiting greater antidepressant effects than more lateral stimulation sites, as revealed by functional MRI studies.

A randomized placebo-controlled trial with behavioral, neuroimaging, and physiological measures reveals that oxytocin treatment facilitates pleasure and brain reward responses only to gentle stroking social touch by increasing peripheral blood concentrations.

A novel immunoassay for ApoB-100, the main protein component of lipoproteins, enables the development of methods to enrich extracellular vesicles from human plasma while depleting both lipoproteins and free proteins.

Cardiac-specific neurons residing in stellate ganglia comprised of three subsets of neurons based upon their transcriptomic and neurochemical properties and modulates cardiac sympathetic control.

Muscle synergies are able to identify muscular adaptation that results from feelings of joint instability, whereas tibiofemoral kinematics are sensitive for detecting acute instability events during functional activities.

Supervisors' engagement in open science practices such as data sharing is associated with a greater odds that Ph.D. students engage in these practices and share their data.

Osteoblast glucose metabolism is impaired in a mouse model for type II diabetes and can be boosted pharmacologically or genetically to alleviate diabetic osteopenia.

VO_2max in endurance athletes can be accurately predicted by the submaximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing measurements but relying solely on somatic variables allows limited accuracy, which is especially important for physicians and fitness practitioners for proper health and training status monitoring.

CX3CR1-positive dendritic cells are altered in patients with non-infectious uveitis.
