#PTSD

Mechanisms of increased inflammation in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Stress-induced interaction between the immune system, hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis, and sympathetic nervous system is illustrated. ACTH, adrenocorticotropin; AVP, arginine vasopressin; CRH, corticotropin-releasing hormone; GR, glucocorticoid receptor; NE, norepinephrine; NF-κB, nuclear factor-κB; IL, interleukin; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor α.

Behavioral Neurobiology of PTSD by Eric Vermetten et al, 2018

This volume focuses on the behavioral neuroscience that supports our understanding of the neurobiology of trauma risk and response. The collection of articles focuses on both preclinical and clinical reviews of (1) state-of-the-art knowledge of mechanisms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and co-occurring disorders.

New clues in the search for the roots of consciousness
Seven years after they started, neuroscientists have published the results of a landmark study that was designed to determine which theory of human consciousness came closest to the mark — and those results are decidedly mixed.

How do #brain cells change over #evolution? @bentonlab compare #scRNAseq from ecologically distinct #drosophilid species to identify changes in composition & gene expression of different cell types, revealing higher divergence in #glia than #neurons @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4js7Rms

Single-nucleus transcriptomic atlases of D. melanogaster, D. simulans, and D. sechellia central brains. Top left: phylogeny of the drosophilid species studied in this work, and images of reference central brains for these species (all female). Top right: Workflow of the single-nucleus RNA-sequencing of drosophilid central brains. Bottom left: tSNE plots of D. melanogaster (red), D. simulans (green) and D. sechellia (blue) central brain cells from an integrated dataset after RPCA integration. In the bottom right plot, all cells from the three species are merged. Bottom right: tSNE plot of the integrated and annotated datasets. Cells are colored by the 11 annotation groups. Unannotated cells are colored gray.
