What is Depo-Provera? Depo-Provera is an injectable form of birth control manufactured by Pfizer that contains a synthetic hormone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, which prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining. It is typically administered once every three months and is known for its convenience and high effectiveness.

AbstractA range of rare mutations involving micro-deletion or -duplication of genetic material (copy number variants (CNVs)) have been associated with high neurodevelopmental and psychiatric risk (ND-CNVs). Irritability is frequently observed in childhood neurodevelopmental conditions, yet its aetiology is largely unknown.

AbstractAsymmetry between the left and right hemisphere is a key feature of brain organization. Hemispheric functional specialization underlies some of the most advanced human-defining cognitive operations, such as articulated language, perspective taking, or rapid detection of facial cues. Yet, genetic investigations into brain asymmetry have mostly relied on common variants, which typically exert small effects on brain-related phenotypes.
