Gestational diabetes linked to autism and ADHD in new study
A major new analysis is drawing fresh attention to the possible links between gestational diabetes and long-term brain health in both mothers and their children. The review, which combined data from 48 studies conducted over nearly 50 years, suggests that diabetes during pregnancy may have effects that extend well beyond childbirth, influencing memory, learning and mental health.

18. How cell skeleton defects can teach immunology

  • 2 hours ago schedule
  • medicalxpress.com language

For immune cells, the actin cytoskeleton is more than a structural scaffold. Immune cells can migrate to sites of infection or form precise, short-lived contacts with other cells, by constantly reshaping their actin cytoskeleton. Genetic errors in the molecular machinery controlling actin dynamics lead to impaired immunity, and often to autoimmunity and chronic inflammation.

  • medicalxpress.com language

A study involving more than half a million adults has confirmed that the combination of cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic conditions, collectively known as cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic (CKM) syndrome, substantially increases the risk of early death and serious illness. The findings highlight the urgent need for integrated care that treats these conditions together rather than in isolation.

25. Groove is in the brain: Music supercharges brain stimulation

Music affects us so deeply that it can essentially take control of our brain waves and get our bodies moving. Now, neuroscientists at Stanford's Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute are taking advantage of music's power to synchronize brain waves to boost the effectiveness of a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a promising tool for both basic brain research and treating neuropsychiatric disorders.

A study led by the EHU's Neuropsychopharmacology group provides new insights into understanding the origins of schizophrenia. The research, led by the EHU lecturer Leyre Urigüen, revealed alterations in the extracellular matrix, the "scaffolding" that supports neurons, and in the synapses, the points of communication between the neurons, thus reinforcing the idea that this is a neurodevelopmental disorder.
