Background: Proactively preventing postpartum weight retention (PPWR) is one of the effective intervention strategies to reduce the occurrence of obesity in women. Population studies have shown that serum folate levels are closely related to body weight. The regulation of folic acid on lipid metabolism has been fully confirmed in both in vivo and in vitro studies.

Uncompetitive NMDAR (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor) antagonists restore impaired neural plasticity, reverse depressive-like behavior in animal models, and relieve major depressive disorder (MDD) in humans. This review integrates recent findings from in silico, in vitro, in vivo, and human studies of uncompetitive NMDAR antagonists into the extensive body of knowledge on NMDARs and neural plasticity. Uncompetitive NMDAR antagonists are activity-dependent channel blockers that preferentially target hyperactive GluN2D subtypes because these subtypes are most sensitive to activation by low concentrations of extracellular glutamate and are more likely activated by certain pathological agonists and allosteric modulators.

Hypertension is a leading independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death globally. Importantly, the prevalence of hypertension is positively correlated with obesity, with obesity-related hypertension being difficult to treat due to a lack of current guidelines in this population as well as limited efficacy and adverse off-target effects of currently available antihypertensive therapeutics. This highlights the need to better understand the mechanisms linking hypertension with obesity to develop optimal therapeutic approaches.

Time perception is a fundamental cognitive function essential for adaptive behavior and shared across species. The neural mechanisms underlying time perception, particularly its neuromodulation, remain debated. In this review, we examined the role of the serotonergic system in time perception (at the scale of seconds and minutes), building a translational bridge between human and non-human animal studies.

Olfactory disorders and their associated complications present a considerable challenge to an individual's quality of life and emotional wellbeing. The current range of treatments, including surgical procedures, pharmacological interventions, and behavioral training, frequently proves ineffective in restoring olfactory function. The olfactory bulb (OB) is essential for odor processing and plays a pivotal role in the development of these disorders.
