Transcranial magnetic stimulation and deep brain have emerged as therapeutic modalities for treatment refractory depression; however, little remains known regarding the circuitry that mediates effect of these approaches. Here we show direct optogenetic prefrontal cortex (PFC) descending projection neurons in mice engineered to express Chr2 layer V pyramidal (Thy1–Chr2 mice) models an antidepressant-like subjected a forced-swim test. Furthermore, this PFC induces long-lasting suppression...
Cultural diversity variables like race and/or ethnicity influence research mentoring relationships, but mentors may not know how to address such with their mentees. Using a randomized controlled trial design, we tested mentor training intervention increase mentors’ awareness and skill in addressing cultural documenting its impact on undergraduate mentees’ ratings of effectiveness. Participants were national sample 216 117 mentees from 32 programs the United States. Mentors experimental...
Effective mentorship is critical to the success of trainees in research career pathways, significantly impacting their productivity, academic and self-efficacy, satisfaction. Research faculty may be unaware or unprepared address mentor-mentee dynamics mentoring relationships, especially those that go beyond traditional scientific skill development. Addressing can even more challenging for mentors from well-represented backgrounds working with mentees historically excluded racial/ethnic...
This article compares the experiences and outcomes of 2069 unique students who belong to groups either historically well represented (WR) or underrepresented (UR) in science describes Biosciences Collaborative for Research Engagement (BioCoRE) undergraduate program using longitudinal data. BioCoRE aims increase number people from UR PhD pipelines.
