Cannabidiol Modulates Neuroinflammatory and Estrogen-Related Pathways in a Sex-Specific Manner in a Chronic Stress Model of Depression by Uri Bright, Irit Akirav

“…We analyzed the gene expression related to neuroinflammation, cannabinoid signaling, estrogen receptors, and specific microRNAs in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), CA1, and ventral subiculum (VS). UCMS influenced immobility in a sex-specific manner, increasing it in males and decreasing it in females, effects that were reversed by CBD. …”

The domain-general and domain-specific role of the semantic neural network in mathematical processing by Mengyi Li, Xinlin Zhou

“…The intensity and pattern analysis of brain activation found that all types of inductive reasoning elicited greater and similar activation than arithmetical computation in the semantic network, mainly including the left middle temporal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus, angular gyrus, and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex. Furthermore, the intensity and patterns analysis of functional connectivity found that numerical inductive reasoning elicited stronger and dissimilar connectivity between the semantic and visuospatial networks than other types of inductive reasoning and arithmetical computation. …”
