The paper investigates prefrontal cortical deficits as a potential susceptibility factor for PTSD using an animal model and human data, finding mPFC dysfunction before trauma in susceptible individuals.

This study shows that nucleus basalis stimulation improves working memory by stabilizing attractor networks in the prefrontal cortex without increasing neural selectivity.

The paper identifies CARMN as an evolutionarily conserved, smooth muscle cell-specific lncRNA, showing its down-regulation in vascular diseases and functional importance in maintaining the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells.
