Co-Embedding of Nodes and Edges With Graph Neural Networks

Xiaodong Jiang et al.

Summary: Graphs are widely used in many applications, and learning and extracting information from them is essential for machine learning tasks. Graph embedding is a technique to transform data structure from high-dimensional to low-dimensional space for further analysis. CensNet is a graph neural network that embeds both nodes and edges, using line graph and proposing novel graph convolution operations for feature propagation.

Introducing a depression-like syndrome for translational neuropsychiatry: a plea for taxonomical validity and improved comparability between humans and mice

Iven-Alex Von Mucke-Heim et al.

Summary: Depressive disorders are the most burdensome psychiatric disorders worldwide. Efforts to advance treatment have been limited due to various factors, including suboptimal animal models and imprecise terminology. To overcome these issues, researchers have introduced a new taxonomical concept called depression-like syndrome (DLS) for modelling depression in laboratory mice. The DLS approach uses a combination of clinical depression criteria and Research Domain Criteria to provide a biobehavioural reference syndrome. To assess DLS presence and severity, an algorithm has been designed to ensure statistical and biological relevance of findings. The long-term objective is to use DLS as an inter-model validation standard to improve phenotyping methodology in translational research.

Learnable latent embeddings for joint behavioural and neural analysis

Steffen Schneider et al.

Summary: Mapping behavioural actions to neural activity is a fundamental goal of neuroscience. Here, we present a new encoding method, CEBRA, that uses behavioural and neural data to produce consistent and high-performance latent spaces. This method can be used for decoding and has been validated across different datasets and tasks. CEBRA can also be used to map space and uncover complex kinematic features.

Social rank-dependent effects of testosterone on huddling strategies in mice

Ye Zhao et al.

Summary: In this study, researchers found that 2-MT can induce huddling behavior in mice and significantly increase testosterone levels, which is positively correlated with huddling behavior. Furthermore, testosterone treatment can significantly increase huddling behavior in mice under 2-MT exposure condition. Interestingly, testosterone can quickly promote dominant individuals to occupy safe positions when huddling together under predator odor. In summary, testosterone can rapidly regulate the individual's adaptive response to threats in a social rank-dependent manner, providing a new perspective for the in-depth study of the influencing factors and underlying mechanisms of huddling behavior.

Increasing resolution in stress neurobiology: from single cells to complex group behaviors

Lucas Miranda et al.

Summary: Stress can have severe psychological and physiological consequences, and inappropriate regulation of stress response is linked to mood and anxiety disorders. The use of preclinical animal models is valuable for studying the mechanisms of stress-related psychiatric disorders and developing new pharmacological strategies. This commentary discusses the strengths and limitations of molecular and computational advances in stress neurobiology research, particularly in terms of improving spatial and temporal resolution in cell biology and behavioral science. The authors also provide their perspective on future directions in preclinical and human stress research.

End-to-end deep representation learning for time series clustering: a comparative study

Baptiste Lafabregue et al.

Summary: Time series are common in data mining applications, and clustering analysis of time series data can provide insights into data structures. Various methods have been proposed for time series clustering. This paper aims to carefully study and experimentally compare existing literature on time series representation learning for deep clustering, by decomposing deep clustering methods into three main components.

The impact of the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic on stress resilience and mental health: A critical review across waves

Mirko Manchia et al.

Summary: The global public health crisis caused by COVID-19 has had a lasting impact on mental health, with most individuals showing surprising resilience and quick recovery from the pandemic measures. However, vulnerable groups that have been severely impacted by the pandemic still exist, highlighting the need for more comprehensive and integrative assessments of resilience, as well as personalized help and interventions tailored to specific needs for vulnerable groups in future pandemics.

Midbrain projection to the basolateral amygdala encodes anxiety-like but not depression-like behaviors

Carole Morel et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons projecting to the basolateral amygdala (BLA) selectively control anxiety-like behaviors, but not depression-like behaviors. These findings provide important insights into the neural correlates of anxiety and depression.

Identifying behavioral structure from deep variational embeddings of animal motion

Kevin Luxem et al.

Summary: Variational embeddings of animal motion can automatically discover behavioral motifs and their dynamics, addressing the challenge of quantifying and detecting the hierarchical organization of behavior in neuroscience. This study presents an unsupervised probabilistic deep learning framework that identifies behavioral structure from deep variational embeddings of animal motion. It allows for the segmentation of behavior into discrete hierarchically organized motifs and captures a hierarchical representation of motif usage.

Computational Analysis of Multidimensional Behavioral Alterations After Chronic Social Defeat Stress

Zachary S. Lorsch et al.

Summary: This study utilized machine learning technology to conduct chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) in mice and found that SmartCube analysis successfully distinguished control and defeated-susceptible mice, with defeated-resilient mice more resembling control mice. Treatment of susceptible mice with the antidepressant medication imipramine resulted in a 40.2% recovery of the defeated-susceptible phenotype as assessed by SmartCube. High-throughput analysis can provide a more unbiased and holistic approach to evaluating group differences after CSDS, and potentially other mouse models of psychiatric disease.

Damian F. Santomauro et al.

Summary: This study aimed to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prevalence and burden of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders globally in 2020. The findings showed that the pandemic led to increased prevalence of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders, with females and younger age groups being more affected. The pandemic has created an increased urgency to strengthen mental health systems in most countries and mitigation strategies are needed to address the burden of these mental disorders.

Chronic social defeat stress impairs goal-directed behavior through dysregulation of ventral hippocampal activity in male mice

Keitaro Yoshida et al.

Summary: Chronic stress is found to impair goal-directed motivation, which is crucial for the treatment of patients with depression. Research using a mouse model revealed that the hyperactivity in the ventral hippocampus is a neural circuit mechanism responsible for stress-induced impairments in goal-directed behavior, and antidepressant treatments can restore motivated behavior by normalizing ventral hippocampal activity.

Single-cell molecular profiling of all three components of the HPA axis reveals adrenal ABCB1 as a regulator of stress adaptation

Juan Pablo Lopez et al.

Summary: Chronic activation and dysregulation of the neuroendocrine stress response can have severe physiological and psychological consequences, with the molecular characterization of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis revealing a previously unreported subpopulation of cells involved in stress adaptation. This research suggests that modulating ABCB1 function may be important in developing treatment strategies for patients with metabolic and stress-related psychiatric disorders.
