Article Abstract
Recent studies have showed that ketamine is a rapid and efficient antidepressant, but the mechanism of its antidepressant effect is not fully clear. It is still lack of the research investigating the relation between depressive-like behaviors and neuronal activities in specific brain area after administration of ketamine in vivo. Medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) involved in the pathogenesis of depression. As a result of effective assessments after behavioral test, most studies lack of direct evidence of the relation between efficacy and the activity of specific brain area. Therefore, we used fiber photometry to explore the alteration of Ca transient in the prelimbic (PrL) area of mPFC during behavioral tests in freely moving mice. Our results showed that the chronic corticosterone (CORT) protocol induced depressive-like behaviors. Administration of ketamine reversed these effects. The activation of Ca transients was associated with some behaviors during behavioral tests. Struggling, rearing and exploring evoked strong Ca transients, but moving and grooming did not. The Ca transients amplitude reductions of struggling, rearing and exploring induced by CORT were reversed by ketamine. The results indicated that ketamine ameliorated depressive-like behaviors via mediating neural activation in PrL.

The influence of pure tacts and intraverbals on the transfer of verbal learning to new stimuli: Aan experimental study in children.

This study investigates learning transfer processes in the teaching of pure tacts and intraverbals within the context of verbal behavior. The objectives were: to assess whether training pure tacts and intraverbals, through the inclusion of different stimuli, facilitates learning transfer to new impure tacts, and to determine whether one of these verbal operants (pure tact or intraverbal) better promotes learning transfer. The sample included 54 children aged 11-12 years, using a within-subjects experimental design with pre-post measures.

Background: Osteoporotic osteoarthritis (OPOA), a distinct subtype of osteoarthritis (OA), has imposed a significant health and economic burden worldwide. However, mechanistic studies and therapeutic strategies for this disease remain in the exploratory stage.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the specific molecular mechanisms by which osteoporosis (OP) exacerbates OA progression through accelerated subchondral bone (SB) sclerosis and the potential of Jiawei Yanghe Decoction (JWYHD) in treating OPOA.

Background: Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. While cryptotanshinone (CTS) shows therapeutic promise, its clinical application is hindered by poor pharmacokinetic properties. This study investigated DST-3, a novel derivative of CTS for enhanced neuroprotective effect against ischemic stroke with improved drug-like properties.

Importance: Higher intellectual abilities have been associated with lower mortality risk in several longitudinal cohort studies. However, these studies did not fully account for early life contextual factors or test whether the beneficial associations between higher neurocognitive functioning and mortality extend to children exposed to early adversity.
Objective: To explore how the associations of child neurocognition with mortality changed according to the patterns of adversity children experienced.

Background: Intensive language-action therapy treats language deficits and depressive symptoms in chronic poststroke aphasia, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain underexplored. Long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) in blood oxygenation level-dependent signals indicate persistence in brain activity patterns and may relate to learning and levels of depression. This observational study investigates blood oxygenation level-dependent LRTC changes alongside therapy-induced language and mood improvements in perisylvian and domain-general brain areas.
