Lower density of calretinin‐immunopositive neurons in the putamen of subjects with schizophrenia

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 505-516, April 2025.
Recent neuroimaging and histological studies highlight the striatum as a key area involved in SCH, but the specific impairment of neuronal subtypes in subcortical structures is not fully understood. This study is the first detailed investigation of neuroanatomical changes in the putamen in SCH, specifically examining the density of calretinin ...

Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...

Gut microbiota and central nervous system's direct bidirectional regulation: The mechanisms of the gut–brain axis in irritable bowel syndrome

open access: yesClinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
Gut microbiota directly modulates central nervous system activity via vagal, sympathetic and sensory neural circuits. Brainstem nuclei integrate microbial signals to regulate gut motility, secretion and visceral sensitivity. DRG neurons and stress‐responsive pathways link microbial cues to host defence and epithelial homeostasis. Dysregulated gut–brain
