Study shows how ketamine administration starkly changes neuronal activity patterns in the brain

Ketamine, an established anesthetic and increasingly popular antidepressant, dramatically reorganizes activity in the brain, as if a switch had been flipped on its active circuits, according to a new study by Penn Medicine researchers.

Using DECT-derived metrics to definitively diagnose incidental adrenal adenomas

According to an open-access Editor's Choice accepted manuscript published in ARRS' American Journal of Roentgenology, for adrenal lesions evaluated by single-phase dual-energy CT (DECT), fat fraction had higher sensitivity than virtual non-contrast attenuation at both the clinically optimal threshold and at the traditional ≤10 HU threshold.

Researchers develop 3D organoid model to advance understanding of gastroesophageal junction cancer

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have created a laboratory-grown three-dimensional "organoid" model that is derived from human tissue and designed to advance understanding about how early stages of cancer develop at the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) — the point where the digestive system's food tube meets the stomach.

Scientists discover new potential mechanism for vision loss

Visual cells in the human retina may not simply die in some diseases, but are mechanically transported out of the retina beforehand.

Hyperactivated brain cells following social trauma impair social reward and promote social avoidance

Past social trauma is encoded by a population of stress/threat-responsive brain cells that become hyperactivated during subsequent interaction with non-threatening social targets. As a consequence, previously rewarding social targets are now perceived as social threats, which promotes generalized social avoidance and impaired social reward processing that can contribute to psychiatric disorders, according to a study conducted by researchers at the Brain and Body Research Center at Mount Sinai and published November 30 in Nature.

Scientists discover how an enzyme involved in DNA repair becomes vital to tumor survival

Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute, in collaboration with Artios, have identified how an enzyme involved in DNA repair (POLQ), becomes vital to the survival of certain cancers, if the cancer cells lose the ability to use a more common method of DNA repair.
