AbstractHow distinct memories are encoded into the same network space without destructive interference is not well-understood. Here, we utilized Tritonia diomedea's escape swim network to explore how two sequentially acquired forms of non-associative learning, sensitization and habituation, are encoded into the same network. Behavioral experiments showed them to alter non-identical sets of behavioral features, suggesting they utilize somewhat independent sites of plasticity within the network.

AbstractBenzodiazepines (BZDs) are commonly prescribed anxiolytic drugs that act on GABAa receptors, and can result in anterograde amnesia, or the inability to form new memories. While BZDs have been used for decades, the brain regions and neuronal mechanisms responsible for this detrimental side effect are largely unknown at the systems neuroscience level.

AbstractDiversity in the physician workforce is critical for quality patient care. Students from low-income backgrounds represent an increasing proportion of medical school matriculants, yet little research has addressed their medical school experiences. To explore the medical school experiences of students from low-income backgrounds using a modified version of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (physiologic, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization) as a theoretical framework.

AbstractThe growing field of psychodermatology examines the interplay between dermatological and psychiatric comorbidities. While current literature recognizes that cutaneous and psychiatric conditions often coexist within patients, the relationship between dysregulated inflammation and depression in patients with inflammatory skin conditions has not been thoroughly explored.

The molecular signature of L3 and L5 PNs was interrogated to isolate unique and divergent gene expression changes in aged individuals with DS compared to age and sex-matched CTR subjects. A total of 5,296 DEGs were identified in L3 PNs (L3A; p < 0.05) and 4,329 DEGs were identified in L5 PNs (L5A; p < 0.05; Fig. 1A) [8]. To identify potential circuitry specific DEGs, L3 and L5 DEGs were compared with DEGs that were only significant in L3 (2,903; p < 0.05) or L5 (1,938; p < 0.05; Fig.
