Genetic and pharmacological evidence linking CB1R signaling to hippocampal GABAergic dysfunction in ASD mouse model

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder increasingly linked to disrupted GABAergic inhibition and altered excitatory-inhibitory balance. Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R), enriched on GABAergic interneurons, modulates inhibitory tone. Whether CB1R dysfunction...

Global airport connectivity and resilience: a data-driven approach and inverse-U relationship, 1996–2024

This study analyzes the long-run evolution of global airport connectivity from 1996 to 2024 and examines how resilience to major shocks varies across the connectivity distribution. Using an extended Global Airport Connectivity Index (GACI) panel covering 101,049 airport–year obse...
