4️⃣ Hyper-maturity and accelerated aging in the hippocampus Mouse models of anxiety and depression showed “hyper-mature” hippocampi with aging-like gene expression.

3️⃣ DKK2 and hippocampal neurogenesis Loss of DKK2 disrupted context discrimination and Wnt signaling balance. JNK inhibition rescued these deficits, highlighting DKK2’s role in hippocampal neurogenesis and behavior.

2️⃣Hierarchical critical periods in neurodevelopment Review proposing “hierarchical critical periods” across the cortex - from sensory to association areas - shaping vulnerability and resilience across childhood and adolescence. https://t.co/NJe6P3oCiO

1️⃣ Integrating multi-polygenic scores for antidepressant outcomes Multi-polygenic scores (for insomnia, pain, inflammation) predicted poorer SSRI response in East Asian patients - a step toward personalized antidepressant treatment. https://t.co/lDGZUo9rM7
