Interpersonal brain synchronization under bluffing in strategic games

People commonly use bluffing as a strategy to manipulate other people’s beliefs about them for gain. Although bluffing is an important part of successful strategic thinking, the inter-brain mechanisms underlying bluffing remain unclear. Here, we employed a functional near-infrared spectroscopy hyperscanning technique to simultaneously record the brain activity in the right temporal-parietal junction in 32 pairs of participants when they played a bluffing game against each other or with computer opponents separately. We also manipulated the penalty for bluffing (high vs low). Under the condition of high relative to low penalty, results showed a higher bluffing rate and a higher calling rate in human-to-human as compared to human-to-computer pairing. At the neural level, high relative to low penalty condition increased the interpersonal brain synchronization (IBS) in the right angular gyrus (rAG) during human-to-human as compared to human-to-computer interaction. Importantly, bluffing relative to non-bluffing, under the high penalty and human-to-human condition, resulted in an increase in response time and enhanced IBS in the rAG. Participants who bluffed more frequently also elicited stronger IBS. Our findings support the view that regions associated with mentalizing become synchronized during bluffing games, especially under the high penalty and human-to-human condition.     

Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide Attenuates Brain Edema by Protecting Blood–Brain Barrier and Glymphatic System After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Rats

Brain edema is a vital contributor to early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), which is responsible for prolonged hospitalization and poor outcomes. Pharmacological therapeutic targets on edema formation have been the focus of research for decades. Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) has been shown to participate in neural development and brain injury. Here, we used PACAP knockout CRISPR to demonstrate that endogenous PACAP plays an endogenous neuroprotective role against brain edema formation after SAH in rats. The exogenous PACAP treatment provided both short- and long-term neurological benefits by preserving the function of the blood–brain barrier and glymphatic system after SAH. Pretreatment of inhibitors of PACAP receptors showed that the PACAP-involved anti-edema effect and neuroprotection after SAH was facilitated by the selective PACAP receptor (PAC1). Further administration of adenylyl cyclase (AC) inhibitor and sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) CRISPR activator suggested that the AC–cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)–protein kinase A (PKA) axis participated in PACAP signaling after SAH, which inhibited the expression of edema-related proteins, SUR1 and aquaporin-4 (AQP4), through SUR1 phosphorylation. Thus, PACAP may serve as a potential clinical treatment to alleviate brain edema in patients with SAH.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s13311-020-00925-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.Key Words: Subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain edema, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide, blood–brain barrier, glymphatic system

The efficacy of 5-element therapy for senile diabetes with depression: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background:Senile diabetes with depression is a common and frequently-occurring disease, and it is also a difficult and hot point in domestic and international research. However, the efficiency of combination hypoglycemic agents and antidepressants in the treatment of senile diabetes with depression is poor, and new intervention methods are urgently needed. Research shows the 5-element therapy, as a Chinese traditional non-drug intervention, has definite curative effect on the prevention and treatment of various physical and mental diseases. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy of 5-element therapy on senile diabetes with depression.Methods:The electronic databases including Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, Sino Med,China Biomedical Literature Database will be searched. The time limit for retrieving studies is from establishment to October 2020 for each database. Randomized controlled clinical trials related to 5-element therapy intervention on senile diabetes with depression will be included. Stata V.13.0 and Review manager 5.3 software will be implemented for data synthesis, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, and the assessment of bias risk. We will use the grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation system to assess the quality of evidence.Results:This study will provide a quantitative and standardized evaluation for the efficacy of 5-element therapy on senile diabetes with depression.Conclusion:This systematic review and meta-analysis will provide the high-quality evidence to assess whether the 5-element therapy has a positive treatment effect for senile diabetes with depression.Registration number:INPLASY2020100081.     

Edaravone inhibits procaspase-3 denitrosylation and activation through FasL-Trx2 pathway in KA-induced seizure

Previous studies have demonstrated that excessive free radicals play an essential role in the initiation and progression of epilepsy and that a novel exogenous free radical scavenger edaravone (Ed) exerts some neuroprotective effects on seizure-induced neuronal damage. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the possible molecular mechanisms of Ed associated with procaspase-3 denitrosylation and activation through the FasL-Trx2 pathway in seizures rats. In this study, we investigated the effects of Ed on the regulation of the combination of Fas ligand/Fas receptor and the major components of the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) in the hippocampus of kainic acid (KA)-treated Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. Treatment with Ed can attenuate the increased expression of FasL induced by KA and prevent procaspase-3 denitrosylation and activation via suppression of the FasL-Trx2 signaling pathway, which alleviates the neuronal damage in seizures. These results provide experimental evidence that Ed functions by preventing the denitrosylation and activation of procaspase-3 and that Ed acts as a therapeutic option for epilepsy.
