Higher Vitamin D Dose in Childhood Linked to Lower Mental Health Risk
A recent study suggests higher doses of Vitamin D3 supplementation during early childhood may reduce the risk of internalizing psychiatric symptoms in later years.

Genes reveal surprising overlaps in brain diseases and disorders
Scientists find patterns in how disease-related genes switch on in the brain.
The study authors say this way of sorting brain diseases and psychiatric disorders could potentially identify new targets for treatments.

A comparison of anatomic and cellular transcriptome structures across 40 human brain diseases
Analysis of 40 common human brain diseases identifies 5 major transcriptional patterns, representing tumor-related, neurodegenerative, psychiatric and substance abuse, and 2 mixed groups of diseases affecting basal ganglia and hypothalamus.

Analysis of the transcription patterns of risk genes for human brain disease reveals characteristic expression signatures across brain anatomy; these can be used to compare and aggregate diseases, providing associations that often differ from conventional phenotypic classification.

This the raw-est account you'll find on #mentalheaIth in #india. #psychiatricdiseases especially, that too in a #middleclass family in #mumbai .But this is also #witty and there's occasional #warmth as well. For such a small book, there's so much said without saying.

Did you know that #myelination of neuronal axons by #oligodendrocytes in our #brain is a plastic process in which #myelin structure (white matter) can change in response to neuronal activity?
Here is a very interesting review article by Juliet Knowles and colleagues at Stanford University:
Adaptive and maladaptive myelination in health and disease
#OpenAccess article in Nature Reviews #Neurology: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41582-022-00737-3
In this Review, the authors provide an overview of evidence that activity-regulated myelination is required for brain adaptation and learning, and discuss how dysregulation of activity-dependent myelination contributes to neurological disease and could be a new therapeutic target.
