The paper develops a multi-dimensional framework for genomic newborn screening programs by defining criteria across clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and program management aspects.

This study examines neural processing of infant emotions in mothers with and without bonding problems using fMRI, finding increased neural responses in BP mothers at 3 months postpartum.

This study uses fMRI to examine neural responses during compliment sharing in romantic couples, finding activation in reward and empathy-related brain regions, particularly the ventral striatum.

The paper identifies a novel analgesic pathway involving parvocellular oxytocin neurons projecting to the vlPAG, which suppresses spinal cord sensory neuron activity and alleviates pain.
