Background: An excess of exosomes, nanovesicles released from all cells and key regulators of brain plasticity, is an emerging therapeutic target for stress-related mental illnesses. The effects of chronic stress on exosome levels are unknown; even less is known about molecular drivers of exosome levels in the stress response.

Methods: We used our state-of-the-art protocol with 2 complementary strategies to isolate neuronal exosomes from plasma, ventral dentate gyrus, basolateral amygdala, and olfactory bulbs of male mice to determine the effects of chronic restraint stress (CRS) on exosome levels.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the biological differences linked to PTSD by examining DNA methylation changes in blood, suggesting they could indicate susceptibility or effects of trauma.
  • Conducted by the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium, the research included nearly 5,100 participants to identify specific genetic markers associated with PTSD.
  • Results showed 11 significant CpG sites related to PTSD, with some also showing correlations between blood and brain tissue methylation, highlighting their potential role in understanding PTSD biology.

Article Synopsis
  • * This study examined how voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) from resting-state fMRI can be used as a biomarker to differentiate between mild, moderate, and severe cases of MDD among patients and healthy controls.
  • * Results showed significant differences in VMHC in specific brain regions, with patterns correlating to depression severity as measured by the Hamilton Depression Scale, indicating that VMHC may be useful for diagnosing and classifying MDD severity.
