    Gene–environment pathways to cognitive intelligence and psychotic-like experiences in children

    Junghoon Park, Eunji Lee ... Jiook Cha
    Genetics, socioeconomic conditions, and family and school environments influence cognitive intelligence in children, and this impact may lead to the individual variability of the current and future PLEs.

    Obesogenic diet induces circuit-specific memory deficits in mice

    Ioannis Bakoyiannis, Eva Gunnel Ducourneau ... Guillaume Ferreira
    Obesogenic diet intake throughout adolescence impairs different types of memory through overactivation of specific hippocampal efferent pathways and targeting these overactive pathways has therapeutic potential.

    The mTOR pathway genes MTOR, Rheb, Depdc5, Pten, and Tsc1 have convergent and divergent impacts on cortical neuron development and function

    Lena H Nguyen, Youfen Xu ... Angelique Bordey
    Expression of mTORC1 pathway gene variants in mouse medial prefrontal cortex leads to shared alterations in pyramidal neuron morphology, positioning, and membrane excitability but different changes in excitatory synaptic transmission.

    Plasticity of gene expression in the nervous system by exposure to environmental odorants that inhibit HDACs

    Sachiko Haga-Yamanaka, Rogelio Nunez-Flores ... Anandasankar Ray
    Volatile compounds from microbes and food alter epigenetic states by inhibiting histone deacetylases and alter gene expression, slow degeneration in Huntington’s model flies, and slow proliferation of a neuroblastoma cell line.

    SNAP25 disease mutations change the energy landscape for synaptic exocytosis due to aberrant SNARE interactions

    Anna Kádková, Jacqueline Murach ... Jakob Balslev Sørensen
    SNAP25 disease mutations within the synaptotagmin interface impair vesicle priming and cause uncontrolled spontaneous release due to enhanced SNARE:SNARE interactions, whereas a mutation within the SNARE-bundle increases the fusion energy barrier.
