Frequency-specific changes in prefrontal activity associated with maladaptive belief updating in volatile environments in euthymic bipolar disorder by Marina Ivanova, Ksenia Germanova, Dmitry S. Petelin, Aynur Ragimova, Grigory Kopytin, Beatrice A. Volel, Vadim V. Nikulin, Maria Herrojo Ruiz

“…Hierarchical Bayesian modelling revealed BD participants anticipated greater environmental volatility, resulting in a more stochastic mapping from beliefs to actions and paralleled by lower win rates and a reduced tendency to repeat rewarded actions than HC. Despite this, BD individuals adjusted their expectations of action-outcome contingencies more slowly, but both groups invigorated their actions similarly. …”

Genetic variations suggests that Takifugu rubripes, T. chinensis, and T. pseudommus are the same species with a shared gene pool by Ji Young Lee, Kun Hee Kim, Hyuk Je Lee, Sun-Goo Hwang, Tae Sun Kang

“…Here, we provide comprehensive genetic and genomic evidence regarding their speciation and classification.MethodsWhole genome sequencing was performed on T. pseudommus, leading to the identification and development of 15 novel tandem simple sequence repeats (SSRs) from its genomic data. Genetic diversity, differentiation, and population structure among T. rubripes, T. pseudommus, T. chinensis, and T. xanthopterus were subsequently analyzed using a combination of these 15 SSR loci and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (CoI) and cytochrome b (CytB) gene sequences. …”
