Several psychological interventions-including group psychoeducation, family-focused psychoeducation, and interpersonal social-rhythm therapy-have demonstrated prophylactic efficacy as an adjunct to medication in bipolar disorders (BDs). The field of psychological interventions for BD has experienced impressive progress over the last 15 years. Certain unexplored areas, however, require further research in order to establish the full potential of psychological interventions for BD. Such research should focus, among other things, on cognitive impairment associated with BD, BD in the elderly, comorbid anxiety disorders and other comorbidities, the treatment of BD in pregnant women, and the improvement of patients' overall physical health.

Anthropogenic Drivers of Small-Island Effects in Urban Remnant Woody Plants.

Plants (Basel)

The positive relationship between species richness and area is a fundamental principle in ecology. However, this pattern deviates on small islands, where species richness either changes independently of area or increases at a slower rate-a phenomenon known as the Small-Island Effect (SIE). While the SIE has been well documented in natural ecosystem, its presence in highly fragmented and disturbed urban ecosystem remains unexplored, posing challenges for urban vegetation conservation.

Background: Coffee and tea are widely consumed beverages, but their long-term effects on cognitive function and aging remain largely unexplored. Lifestyle interventions, particularly dietary habits, offer promising strategies for enhancing cognitive performance and preventing cognitive decline.

Methods: This study utilized data from the UK Biobank cohort ( = 12,025) to examine the associations between filtered coffee, green tea, and standard tea consumption and neural network functional connectivity across seven resting-state networks.

Rationale: Coronary artery plaques often develop in regions subjected to disturbed shear stress (DSS), yet the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Our study aimed to elucidate the unknown role of MAPK6 in shear stress and plaque formation.

Methods: In vitro and in vivo experiments, RNA-seq, CO-IP and proteomic analysis, combined with single-cell RNA-seq datasets were used to reveal the upstream and downstream mechanisms involved.

Osteoarthritis, particularly temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritis (OA), poses significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Recent studies suggest that nanomaterials hold considerable promise in treating TMJ-OA, showing validated efficacy in animal models. However, further research is required to ensure their long-term safety within the TMJ-OA environment.

Differential neurogenic patterns underlie the formation of primary and secondary areas in the developing somatosensory cortex.

Cereb Cortex

January 2025

Department of Biology, Faculty of Education and Integrated Arts and Sciences, Waseda University, 2-2 Wakamatsu-cho, Shinjuku-ku, 162-8480, Tokyo, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • The cerebral cortex has organized areas that are connected by axons, but how neurogenesis (the development of new neurons) is coordinated between these areas isn’t well understood.
  • The somatosensory cortex is important for processing touch and receives sensory information through the thalamus to its primary and secondary areas.
  • Our study found that neuron production in the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2) happens before the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and ends sooner, with a decrease in upper-layer neurons in S2 due to a change at the surface layer, suggesting a specific mechanism that organizes the development of these cortical areas.
