Sleep Deprivation Aggravates Periodontitis Through Trigeminal‐Periodontal Neuroimmune Pathway Mediated by the AChE‐ACh‐α7nAChR Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Sleep deprivation (SD) exacerbates ligature‐induced periodontitis (LIP) through the trigeminal nerve‐periodontal neuroimmune pathway mediated by the acetylcholinesterase (AChE)‐acetylcholine (ACh)‐α7 nicotinic receptor (α7nAChR) axis. While electroacupuncture (EA) alleviates the condition of LIP combined with SD by activating the α7nAChR.

Oxytocin Reduces Subjective Fear in Naturalistic Social Contexts via Enhancing Top‐Down Middle Cingulate Amygdala Regulation and Brain‐Wide Fear Representations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study demonstrates that intranasal oxytocin reduces subjective fear in immersive, naturalistic social (but not non‐social) contexts. Concomitant fMRI reveals that oxytocin enhances middle cingulate activity and amygdala connectivity while it modulates network‐level connectivity and attenuates reactivity of a brain ...

A Replicable and Generalizable Neuroimaging‐Based Indicator of Pain Sensitivity Across Individuals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Humans differ in their sensitivity to pain. With six large and diverse fMRI datasets (total N = 1046), this study finds that such individual differences in pain sensitivity can be tracked by fMRI responses to painful stimuli. A highly generalizable machine learning model is further built to predict pain sensitivity across all datasets and analgesic ...
