Repeated head trauma causes neuron loss and inflammation in young athletes | Nature Repetitive head impacts (RHIs) sustained from contact sports are the largest risk factor for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)1–4. Currently, CTE can only be diagnosed after death and the events that trigger initial hyperphosphorylated tau (p-tau) deposition remain unclear2. Furthermore, the symptoms endorsed by young individuals are not fully explained by the extent of p-tau deposition2, severely hampering therapeutic interventions. Here we observed a multicellular response prior to the onset of CTE p-tau pathology that correlates with number of years of RHI exposure in young people (less than 51 years of age) with RHI exposure, the majority of whom played American football. Leveraging single-nucleus RNA sequencing of tissue from 8 control individuals, 9 RHI-exposed individuals and 11 individuals with low-stage CTE, we identify SPP1-expressing inflammatory microglia, angiogenic and inflamed endothelial cells, astrocytosis and altered synaptic gene expression in those exposed to R

Repeated head impacts in young athletes cause neuron loss and inflammation. CTE remains undetectable until post-mortem. Complex pathology challenges treatment. PMID:40963024, Nature 2025, @Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09534-6 #Medsky #Pharmsky #RNA #ASHG #ESHG 🧪

‘Brain dial’ turns food consumption on or off in mice Master-control area integrates information about hunger, a food’s tastiness and more — and can even drive intake of plastic pellets.

Scientists have identified a ‘brain dial’ in mice that can turn food consumption on or off.

The effect of this brain region is so powerful that when manipulated, mice that were already full kept eating — & even gobbled inedible plastic pellets.

Oxytocin shapes both mouse mom and pup behavior Distressed pups emit distinct cries for help, which depend on oxytocin neurons in their hypothalamus.

Oxytocin controls both sides of the mother-pup relationship in mice, influencing how pups communicate when separated from their mothers, a new study finds.

As always, thanks Pat for your insightful post: “Academic culture demands a pretty tricky balance: you must be humble enough to acknowledge your work’s limitations while confident enough to argue for its significance.”

Welcome to About Academic Writing & Zo Reasons why you might want to follow jet another newsletter about writing, or academic writing to be precise.

I started a new newsletter about how to write better scientific articles. Because we all know that a lot of them are hard to read. Not because the science is hard or complicated, but because it gets buried beneath bad writing.
