World scientists' warning: The behavioural crisis driving ecological overshoot.

Previously, anthropogenic ecological overshoot has been identified as a fundamental cause of the myriad symptoms we see around the globe today from biodiversity loss and ocean acidification to the disturbing rise in novel entities and climate change. In the present paper, we have examined this more deeply, and explore the behavioural drivers of overshoot, providing evidence that overshoot is itself a symptom of a deeper, more subversive modern crisis of human behaviour. We work to name and frame this crisis as 'the Human Behavioural Crisis' and propose the crisis be recognised globally as a critical intervention point for tackling ecological overshoot.

Absence of mutations in the LGI1 receptor ADAM22 gene in autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy.

Mutations in the LGI1 (leucine-rich, glioma inactivated 1) gene are found in less than a half of the families with autosomal dominant lateral temporal epilepsy (ADLTE), suggesting that ADLTE is a genetically heterogeneous disorder. Recently, it was shown that LGI1 is released by neurons and becomes part of a protein complex at the neuronal postsynaptic density where it is implicated in the regulation of glutamate-AMPA neurotransmission. Within this complex, LGI1 binds selectively to a neuronal specific membrane protein, ADAM22 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease).
