Article Synopsis
  • Social isolation in mice over a period of 8 weeks led to depressive and anxiety-like behaviors, cognitive impairment, and decreased levels of m6A modifications in the hippocampus, along with reduced expression of the enzyme METTL14.
  • The study quantified m6A levels and analyzed the effects of over-expressing METTL14 using a viral tool, which showed that restoring METTL14 levels improved mood and cognitive functions in socially isolated mice.
  • These findings suggest that m6A modifications and the enzyme METTL14 play a critical role in addressing social isolation-induced behavioral impairments, indicating potential targets for therapeutic strategies in managing related mental health issues.
