The role of the prefrontal cortex in social interactions of animal models and the implications for autism spectrum disorder

Alok Nath Mohapatra et al.

Summary: Social interaction is a complex behavior that is disrupted in individuals with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a crucial role in social interactions, but its dysfunction can lead to social behavior deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This article reviews the evidence linking the PFC to social interactions and discusses the use of rodent models to study the role of the PFC. Mechanisms employed by the PFC circuitry that may result in atypical social interactions in rodent models are also addressed.

More treatment but no less depression: The treatment-prevalence paradox

Johan Ormel et al.

Summary: Despite improvements in treatments for depression, the prevalence of depression in the general population has not decreased. The treatment-prevalence paradox (TPP) can be explained by seven possible factors, including the possibility that treatments are less effective in real-world settings and that treatment impact differs for chronic-recurrent cases compared to non-recurrent cases. Furthermore, the published literature may overestimate the efficacy of treatments, and the potential iatrogenic consequences of current treatments require further exploration.

Summary: This study found that the amplitude of individual LFP slow waves was significantly reduced after the administration of benzodiazepines such as diazepam, along with a lower incidence and duration of corresponding neuronal OFF periods, possibly due to a disruption in the synchronisation of cortical neurons. The data suggest that the brain state induced by benzodiazepines differs qualitatively from spontaneous physiological sleep, indicating a dissociation between global sleep state and local cortical synchrony.
