Regulation of A-Kinase Anchoring Protein 79/150–cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase Postsynaptic Targeting by NMDA Receptor Activation of Calcineurin and Remodeling of Dendritic Actin
TL;DR: In this article, an N-terminal basic domain of AKAP79/150 was shown to be able to target to membrane ruffles enriched in F-actin and PI-4,5-P(2) in COS7 cells, and localize to dendritic spines with FACTIN and PSD-MAGUKs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rethinking Concepts and Categories for Understanding the Neurodevelopmental Effects of Childhood Adversity
Karen E. Smith,Seth D. Pollak +1 more
TL;DR: Central problems in understanding the link between early-life adversity and children’s brain development are discussed and alternative formulations that hold promise for advancing knowledge about the neurobiological mechanisms through which adversity affects human development are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxytocin receptor gene variation predicts empathic concern and autonomic arousal while perceiving harm to others.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that genetic variation in OXTR is associated with autonomic reactions when perceiving others in distress is examined and the importance of the oxytocin receptor variation in emotional and physiological reactions to the affective experiences of other conspecifics is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early life stress and development: potential mechanisms for adverse outcomes.
Karen E. Smith,Seth D. Pollak +1 more
TL;DR: Assessment of factors that influence children’s interpretation of stressors, along with stressful events, has the potential to provide further insight into the mechanisms contributing to individual differences in neurodevelopmental effects of early life stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complexity of empathy during medical school training: evidence for positive changes
TL;DR: It is critical to assess changes across its distinct components using multiple measures in order to better understand how it is influenced by medical training.
