Current Evidence for Developmental, Structural, and Functional Brain Defects following Prenatal Radiation Exposure by Tine Verreet, Mieke Verslegers, Roel Quintens, Sarah Baatout, Mohammed A. Benotmane

“…The increasing use of medical radiation modalities, in particular those employing low-dose radiation such as CT scans, raises concerns regarding the effects of cumulative exposure doses and the inappropriate utilization of these imaging techniques. One of the major goals in the radioprotection field is to better understand the potential health risk posed to the unborn child after radiation exposure to the pregnant mother, of which the first convincing evidence came from epidemiological studies on in utero exposed atomic bomb survivors. …”

Aging disrupts the link between network centrality and functional properties of prefrontal neurons during memory-guided behavior by Yadollah Ranjbar-Slamloo, Huee Ru Chong, Tsukasa Kamigaki

“…Abstract The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is vital for higher cognitive functions and displays neuronal heterogeneity, with neuronal activity varying significantly across individual neurons. Using calcium imaging in the medial PFC (mPFC) of mice, we investigate whether differences in degree centrality—a measure of connectivity strength within local circuits—could explain this neuronal diversity and its functional implications. …”
