Targeting combination of circuits treats noise sensitivity in #autism mouse model. Halassa suggests future treatments could consider neurological and psychiatric disorders as a combination of circuit deficits. https://t.co/fv9df4git2 @ScienceMIT @StanleyCenter @NeuroCellPress

[Broad Institute @broadinstitute]

Researchers studying genetic data from 200,000 people have found that #PTSD has as strong of a genetic component as other psychiatric disorders. https://t.co/gAtjSN9ruU

[Science in Boston @ScienceinBoston]

New research from @KarestanKoenen and colleagues at the @StanleyCenter suggests that the heritability of #PTSD is similar to that of depression and other forms of mental illness. https://t.co/z3Q5buSr3n

Congratulations to Jeff Cottrell and the team!

[Broad Institute @broadinstitute]

Researchers from @MIT and Broad created a rapid imaging technique that captures synaptic proteins at high resolution, which could help provide insight into how conditions like autism affect brain cells. Read more in an MIT News story on the Broad website: https://t.co/DqPHeSo1Zg

Many illnesses differentially impact men and women for unknown reasons. Here @nkamitaki and team discover that the classical complement system contributes to sex-specific vulnerability in illnesses from lupus to schizophrenia. https://t.co/NTw9sOeZdt
