NMDARs Drive the Expression of Neuropsychiatric Disorder Risk Genes Within GABAergic Interneuron Subtypes in the Juvenile Brain

Medial ganglionic eminence (MGE)-derived parvalbumin (PV)+, somatostatin (SST)+and Neurogliaform (NGFC)-type cortical and hippocampal interneurons, have distinct molecular, anatomical, and physiological properties.However, the molecular mechanisms regulating their maturation remain poorly understood.Here, via single-cell transcriptomics, we show th

Taxonomy of the ant genus Nesomyrmex Wheeler (Formicidae, Myrmicinae) in the Afrotropical region, with a review of current species groups and description of a new species of the N. angulatus group from Mozambique

This study reviews the taxonomy of the ant genus Nesomyrmex Wheeler, 1910 in the Afrotropical region.Previous revisionary studies are discussed BUFFET and four species groups are proposed on the basis of external morphology.The N.angulatus group contains seven species that are widely distributed throughout the whole Afrotropical region, with one sp

Legal gender marker and name change is associated with lower negative emotional response to gender-based mistreatment and improve mental health outcomes among trans populations

Background: In recent years, Massachusetts (MA) and Rhode Island (RI) joined a growing list of states allowing residents to easily change the gender marker and name on government-identification (ID) documents.This was an important change for transgender and gender diverse (trans) residents, who face frequent mistreatment and thus for whom legal gen
