The use of human tissue surrogates in anatomical modeling for gunshot wounds simulations: an overview about “how to do” experimental terminal ballistics by Lucas Meciano Pereira dos Santos, Marcelo Rodrigues da Cunha, Carlos Henrique Bertoni Reis, Daniela Vieira Buchaim, Daniela Vieira Buchaim, Ana Paula Bernardes da Rosa, Leandro Moreira Tempest, José Augusto Parola da Cruz, Rogério Leone Buchaim, Rogério Leone Buchaim, João Paulo Mardegan Issa, João Paulo Mardegan Issa

“…In the absence of projectiles but in possession of the possible firearm used in the crime, for example, it is possible to verify whether the weapon in question actually fired the fatal gunshot by comparing the injury found on the victim with the injury produced on the simulant material that best represents the anatomical area impacted, as indicated in the literature. …”

Binding of HCN channels to GABAB receptors in dopamine neurons of the VTA limits synaptic inhibition and prevents the development of anxiety by Enrique Pérez-Garci, Kateryna Pysanenko, Giorgio Rizzi, Florian Studer, Daniel Ulrich, Thorsten Fritzius, Simon Früh, Alessandra Porcu, Valérie Besseyrias, Adolf Melichar, Martin Gassmann, Tania Rinaldi Barkat, Rostislav Tureček, Kelly R. Tan, Bernhard Bettler

“…Consequently, disruption of the GBR/HCN complex in KCTD16−/− mice leads to prolonged optogenetic inhibition of DAVTA neuron firing. KCTD16−/− mice exhibit increased anxiety-like behavior in response to stress - a behavior replicated by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated KCTD16 ablation in DAVTA neurons or by intra-VTA infusion of an HCN antagonist in wild-type mice. …”
