Emotional Changes during Imagery Rescripting of Aversive Social Memories in Social Anxiety Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial 26 June 2024
AbstractIntroduction: Imagery rescripting (ImRs) is a psychotherapeutic intervention targeting aversive memories. During the three-phase intervention, patients reexperience their aversive memory (phase 1), observe the scene from their adult perspective, and intervene to help their former selves (phase 2), and reexperience it again with the positive changes (phase 3). Previous studies have rarely investigated emotional and […]

Randomised controlled trial of intermittent calorie restriction in people with multiple sclerosis 20 August 2024

One side effect: two networks? Lateral and posteromedial stimulation spreads induce dysarthria in subthalamic deep brain stimulation for Parkinsons disease 15 August 2024
BackgroundStimulation-induced dysarthria (SID) is a troublesome and potentially therapy-limiting side effect of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). To date, the origin of SID, and especially whether there is an involvement of cerebellar pathways as well as the pyramidal tract, remains a matter of debate. Therefore, this […]

A role for Shugoshin in human cilia?
We have recently described a novel role for the conserved centromeric/kinetochore protein and cohesin protector, Shugoshin, in cilia of C. elegans. Worms are unusual in that the sole Shugoshin protein ( SGO-1 ) is dispensable for chromosome segregation but required for cilia function in fully differentiated sensory neurons. Depletion of sgo-1 leads to an array […]
sut-2 loss of function mutants protect against tau-driven shortened lifespan and hyperactive pharyngeal pumping in a C. elegans model of tau toxicity.
Expression of human tau in C. elegans neurons causes progressive, age-associated loss of motor coordination, selective neurodegeneration, and shortened lifespan. Loss of function (LOF) mutations in the conserved gene sut-2 protects against progressive motor uncoordination and neurodegeneration in models of tauopathy. To determine whether sut-2 LOF also protects against shortened lifespan of tau transgenic C. […]
