EMBRYONIC TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR EXPRESSION IN MICE PREDICTS MEDIAL AMYGDALA NEURONAL IDENTITY AND SEX-SPECIFIC RESPONSES TO INNATE BEHAVIORAL CUES

Embryonic transcription factor expression in mice predicts medial amygdala neuronal identity and sex-specific responses to innate behavioral cues

The medial subnucleus of the amygdala (MeA) plays a central role in processing sensory cues required for innate behaviors.However, whether there is a link between developmental programs and the emergence of inborn behaviors remains unknown.Our previous studies revealed that the telencephalic preoptic area (POA) embryonic niche is a novel source of

Mendelian Randomization Integrating GWAS, eQTL, and mQTL Data Identified Genes Pleiotropically Associated With Atrial Fibrillation

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia.Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 100 loci associated with AF, but the underlying biological interpretation remains largely unknown.The goal of this study is to identify gene expression and DNA methylation (DNAm) that are pleiotropically or potentially
