A new target for anxiety disorders

By generating mice with genetic mutations that disrupt the brain's TrkC-PTP? protein complex, researchers at the UdeM-affiliated IRCM find a key way that brain cells communicate. Scientists at Université de Montréal and its affiliated Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) have uncovered unique roles for a protein complex in the structural organization and function of brain cell connectivity, as well as in specific cognitive behaviors.

Predicting antifungal resistance with a catalog of mutations
To help clinical staff choose the right drug against a fungal infection, researchers have classified the protective effects of around 4,000 mutations of a pathogenic fungus. Only four classes of antifungal drugs currently exist, and pathogen resistance to these drugs complicates treatment. A research team has identified resistance mutations in the fungus Candida albicans , the most common cause of fungal infections, for six widely used clinical drugs belonging to the azole class.

When we cannot hear our own speech, even temporarily, ability to speak is impaired: McGill study
Findings have significant implications for understanding speech production in people with hearing loss, especially those using cochlear implants. A McGill University study has shown that hearing plays a crucial role in how people coordinate and control speech movements in real-time. Published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA), the research shows that when people cannot hear their own speech, even briefly, their ability to move their jaw and tongue in a coordinated manner is impaired.

Common procedure heightens risk for hysterectomy, Western researchers find
A new study has found that 29 per cent of people in Ontario who undergo a surgical procedure called endometrial ablation will have a subsequent hysterectomy to remove the entire uterus within 15 years. Researchers from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, known as ICES, Western's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and Lawson Health Research Institute examined 76,446 patients who were followed for 15 years, addressing the question of surgical interventions after a first endometrial ablation (EA).

Link between dating violence and concussion
Faculty of Arts researchers' work finds that girls and non-binary youth who experience teen dating violence are at elevated risk. It's well-known that adults who are victims of intimate-partner violence are also often victims of traumatic brain injury, including concussions. But whether this association exists in younger people who experience teen dating violence (TDV) has not been examined.

It takes two to tango: an interpersonal perspective on autism
A new study by UdeM neuroscientist Guillaume Dumas sheds new light on the behaviour and brain activity of people with autism in social situations. The behavioural and inter-brain dynamics between a person with autism and a neurotypical person are different than those between two neurotypical people. That's the conclusion of a new study by Guillaume Dumas , a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Addiction at Université de Montréal and principal investigator at the Precision Psychiatry and Social Physiology Laboratory at the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Centre.

Negative body image among teens is a global issue
Study: negative body image among teens is a global issue. A new study by University of Waterloo researchers found that the majority of young people on social media were dissatisfied with their bodies. Researchers say this is a global issue. Negative body image, or body dissatisfaction, occurs when a person has persistent negative thoughts and feelings about their body and is associated with poor psychological and physical health, especially in young people, according to similar studies.
