Article Synopsis
- * Researchers investigated changes in GABAergic interneuron populations and inflammatory markers in the rats' brains, finding significant reductions in GABA markers like parvalbumin and increased activation of microglia in the PCP-Iso group compared to those with single-hit isolation.
- * These results support the use of the PCP-Iso model for future research into treatments aimed at correcting excitatory-inhibitory balance and addressing neuroinflammation related to schizophrenia.

Article Synopsis
- Migrants, particularly refugees and asylum seekers in Greece living in poor conditions, faced significant health and socio-economic challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic due to inadequate healthcare and prevention measures.
- A study analyzed COVID-19 outbreak data from February to November 2020, finding 25 outbreaks in reception facilities, with infection rates significantly higher in these populations compared to the general population (up to 3 times higher).
- The findings highlight the urgent need for effective policies and practices to address the healthcare vulnerabilities of refugees and asylum seekers, particularly in emergency situations like a pandemic.
