TL;DR: It is shown that with adequate stimulation, retinal ganglion cells are able to regenerate axons the full length of the visual pathway and on into the lateral geniculate nucleus, superior colliculus, and other visual centers, demonstrating the feasibility of reconstructing central circuitry for vision after optic nerve damage in mature mammals.

TL;DR: Generation of a macaque model of AD that links Aβ oligomers to tau and synaptic pathology has the potential to greatly advance the understanding of mechanisms centrally implicated in AD pathogenesis.

TL;DR: A longer duration of exclusive breastfeeding was significantly associated with positive maternal attitudes toward breastfeeding, adequate family support, good mother-infant bonding, appropriate suckling technique, and no nipple problems.

TL;DR: Through ethnobotanical surveys in Guatemala, about 250 plants were identified for use in the treatment of urinary ailments and three plants significantly increased uric acid excretion as did the reference drug, probenecid, 25 mg/kg.

TL;DR: It is shown that liraglutide prevented the loss of brain insulin receptors and synapses, and reversed memory impairment induced by AD‐linked amyloid‐β oligomers (AβOs) in mice, and indicated that GLP‐1 receptor activation may be harnessed to protect brain insulin receptor, synaptic, and tau pathology in AD.
