Article Abstract

The functional complexity of the mammalian brain is rooted in the diverse protein composition of synapses across distinct regions. To address the need for a detailed molecular understanding of this regional diversity, we generated the first comprehensive proteomic map of synaptosomes from six key rat brain regions: anterior cortex, posterior cortex, hippocampus, striatum, olfactory bulb, and cerebellum. Using high-resolution quantitative proteome and the Percoll density gradient ultracentrifugation, we identified 3,440 proteins and yielded high synaptic enrichment (60.11% synapse-unique proteins). In-depth functional analysis using the SynGO database revealed region-specific enrichments in the cellular components and biological processes. This study provides a valuable resource and foundational insights into the molecular architecture underlying regional synaptic diversity, paving the way for future investigations into brain function and neurological disorders.

Crop growth rate is a critical physiological trait for forage and bioenergy crops like sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], influencing overall crop productivity, particularly in photoperiod-sensitive (PS) types. Crop growth rate studies focus on either a physiological approach utilizing a few genotypes to analyze biomass accumulation or a genetic approach characterizing easily scorable proxy traits in larger populations.

Objective: To develop, implement, and evaluate a novel process used for residency application review that deemphasizes metrics known to create bias with the goal of interviewing and matching a more diverse resident cohort.

Methods: Between 2020 and 2023, a novel standardized rubric and application review process were developed and implemented at the authors' academic training program. The rubric deemphasized USMLE scores, honor society membership, and number of publications while utilizing an AI-driven pre-sort of applications, facilitating holistic review.

Background: Over the past decade, calls for research assessment reform have grown, led by initiatives such as the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and the Leiden Manifesto, and, more recently, the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA). A key element being discussed as part of research assessment reform is a shift towards more qualitative assessments, focussed on the content of research and the broad skills and competencies of researchers, and the array of contributions they make to knowledge creation and innovation. Narrative CV formats have emerged as a good practice example for enabling qualitative assessments of research projects and researchers, and are becoming more widely piloted and implemented.

The National Clinical Research Center for Mental Disorders & Beijing Key Laboratory of Mental Disorders, Beijing Anding Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.

Background: Diverse correlations between structural brain abnormalities and the clinical feature of bulimia nervosa (BN) have been identified in previous observational studies.

Objective: To explore the bidirectional causality between BN and brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phenotypes.

Methods: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 2441 participants identified genetic variants associated with disordered eating and predicted BN, whereas UK Biobank 3D-T1 MRI data were used to analyze brain structural phenotypes.
