Genetic links between female reproductive milestones and major depressive disorder: evidence from a common genetic factor model

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is more prevalent in women and has been linked to female reproductive timing. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying these associations remain unclear. Reproductive milestones are temporally structured and biologically interrelated, suggesting...

Hyperactive lateral hypothalamic GABAergic neurons drive abnormal aggression in neuroligin-3 R451C knock-in mice

Aggressive behaviors represent a common and clinically challenging comorbidity in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the circuit-level pathology driving elevated aggressio...

eGFR partially mediates the association between Dietary Inflammatory Index and all-cause mortality in older adults

This study examines the association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and all-cause mortality in older adults and investigates the mediating role of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. We included 630...

Chinese versions of the Northoff Catatonia Rating Scale and the Northoff Scale for Subjective Experience in Catatonia

Objective Catatonia was increasingly recognized as a transdiagnostic psychomotor syndrome, but validated Chinese tools for multidimensional clinician-rated assessment and patient-reported subjective experience were limited. This study developed Chinese versions of the Northoff Ca...
