Journal ArticleDOI

Extension of cortical synaptic development distinguishes humans from chimpanzees and macaques

TL;DR: It is shown that the most prominent human-specific expression change affects genes associated with synaptic functions and represents an extreme shift in the timing of synaptic development in the prefrontal cortex, but not the cerebellum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Overlapping and segregated resting-state functional connectivity in patients with major depressive disorder with and without childhood neglect

TL;DR: It was showed that the MDD groups with and without childhood neglect exhibited overlapping and segregated functional connectivity patterns in the whole‐brain networks, providing empirical evidence for the contribution of early life stress to the pathophysiology of MDD.
Journal ArticleDOI

From Serotonin to Neuroplasticity: Evolvement of Theories for Major Depressive Disorder

TL;DR: The evidence challenging the monoamine hypothesis is summarized and proposed that the antidepressant efficacy of SSRIs is not derived from elevated monoamine (5-HT, noradrenaline (NE), or dopamine (DA) concentration or monoamine neurotransmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Rett Syndrome Protein MeCP2 Regulates Synaptic Scaling

TL;DR: Observations indicate that MeCP2 mediates activity-dependent synaptic scaling, and suggest that the pathophysiology of Rett syndrome, which is caused by mutations in Me CP2, may involve defects in activity- dependent regulation of synaptic currents.
