摘要:Sleep is a nearly universal behaviour with unclear functions 1 . The synaptic homeostasis hypothesis proposes that sleep is required to renormalize the increases in synaptic number and strength that occur during wakefulness 2 . Some studies examining either large neuronal populations 3 or small patches of dendrites 4 have found evidence consistent with the synaptic homeostasis hypothesis, but whether sleep merely functions as a permissive state or actively promotes synaptic downregulation at t...

摘要:The cost of drug discovery and development is driven primarily by failure(1), with only about 10% of clinical programmes eventually receiving approval(2-4). We previously estimated that human genetic evidence doubles the success rate from clinical development to approval(5). In this study we leverage the growth in genetic evidence over the past decade to better understand the characteristics that distinguish clinical success and failure. We estimate the probability of success for drug mechanis...

摘要:An exploration of the evolution of male nurturing shows why, unlike fathers among other great apes, human dads are biologically wired to be hands-on parents.

摘要:Throughout life, neuronal networks in the mammalian neocortex maintain a balance of excitation and inhibition, which is essential for neuronal computation 1,2 . Deviations from a balanced state have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, and severe disruptions result in epilepsy 3-5 . To maintain balance, neuronal microcircuits composed of excitatory and inhibitory neurons sense alterations in neural activity and adjust neuronal connectivity and function. Here we identify a signalling pa...
