Background Pubertal growth patterns correlate with future health outcomes. However, the genetic mechanisms mediating growth trajectories remain largely unknown. Here, we modeled longitudinal height growth with Super-Imposition by Translation And Rotation (SITAR) growth curve analysis on ~ 56,000 trans-ancestry samples with repeated height measurements from age 5 years to adulthood. We performed genetic analysis on six phenotypes representing the magnitude, timing, and intensity of the pubertal growth spurt. To investigate the lifelong impact of genetic variants associated with pubertal growth trajectories, we performed genetic correlation analyses and phenome-wide association studies in the Penn Medicine BioBank and the UK Biobank. Results Large-scale growth modeling enables an unprecedented view of adolescent growth across contemporary and 20th-century pediatric cohorts. We identify 26 genome-wide significant loci and leverage trans-ancestry data to perform fine-mapping. Our data reve

Mashup Score: 2Protracted development of stick tool use skills extends into adulthood in wild western chimpanzees - 7 hour(s) ago
Tool use is considered a driving force behind the evolution of brain expansion and prolonged juvenile dependency in the hominin lineage. A study of stick tool use in wild chimpanzees reveals a prolonged time for cognitive assimilation, suggesting selection pressure that favors retention of learning capacities into adulthood.

The neural representation of interaural time differences (ITDs) in humans is contentious. Undurraga et al. show that cortical and behavioral measures of ITD are best explained by a sparse representation of neural detectors. Humans and macaques show a similar cortical pattern of activity, suggesting a common representation of ITDs in primates.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a global concern with increasing prevalence. While many evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) have been identified to treat MDD, there are numerous barriers to patients accessing them. Virtual reality (VR) has been used as a treatment enhancement for a variety of mental health disorders, but few studies have examined its clinical use in treating MDD. Behavioral activation (BA) is a simple yet effective and established first-line EBP for MDD that has the potential to be easily enhanced and adapted with VR technology. A previous report by our group explored the feasibility and acceptability of VR-enhanced BA in a small clinical proof-of-concept pilot. This study examines the clinical efficacy of a more immersive extended reality (XR)–enhanced BA (XR-BA) prototype. This is the first clinical efficacy test of an XR-BA protocol. Objective: This study examined whether XR-BA was feasible and efficacious in treating MDD in an ambulatory telemedici
