 <\/p>\n

Reversing autism with a cancer drug<\/strong><\/a> – Researchers may have found a promising new treatment for a genetic form of autism. Using experimental cancer drugs, scientists reversed the condition in mice.\u00a0According to the most recent estimates,\u00a01 in 59<\/a> children in the United States have an\u00a0autism<\/a> spectrum disorder (ASD). Over\u00a07 percent<\/a>\u00a0of these cases have been tied to chromosomal defects, suggesting that many of the impairments in social communication, movement, sensory perception, and behavior that characterize the syndrome are down to genes.\u00a0Specifically, some people with ASD are missing a piece of their chromosome 16.\u00a0Known as\u00a016p11.2 deletion syndrome<\/a>, this chromosomal defect often leads to neurodevelopmental disability and language skills impairment.\u00a0Now, researchers may have found a way to reverse this genetic form of ASD. Scientists led by Prof. Riccardo Brambilla \u2014 of Cardiff University in the United Kingdom \u2014 used experimental drugs that were initially developed to treat\u00a0cancer<\/a>\u00a0to restore normal brain function in mice with ASD-like symptoms.<\/p>\n

Assessing antidepressant exposure during pregnancy and Autism-like behavior in mouse pups<\/strong><\/a> – Maternal use of the antidepressant fluoxetine (Prozac) can alter the brain circuits in her offspring that control behaviors reminiscent of autism spectrum disorder, suggests a study in mice published in\u00a0eNeuro<\/i>. These results have no immediate bearing on the treatment of depression in pregnant women. Medications that increase availability of serotonin in the brain\u2014selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)\u2014are commonly prescribed to treat mood disorders in\u00a0pregnant women<\/a>. Previous research in humans suggesting disruptions of the serotonin system in the risk of developing autism has motivated scientists to examine the influence of SSRI treatment during pregnancy on brain development. Susan Maloney, Joseph Dougherty and colleagues developed a rodent model of maternal SSRI exposure to investigate the effect of the drug alone, without any additional stress, on the development of autism-like behaviors in offspring. The researchers found that the pups of\u00a0pregnant mice<\/a>\u00a0exposed to fluoxetine throughout the human equivalent of three trimesters and one year of nursing were the most vulnerable, developing social abnormalities as well as repetitive behavior patterns and hypersensitivity to touch reminiscent of autism.<\/p>\n

The psychology of believing in free will<\/strong><\/a> – From coffee table books and social media to popular science lectures, it seems it\u00a0has has become\u00a0increasing fashionable<\/a>\u00a0for neuroscientists, philosophers and other commentators to tell anyone that will listen that free will is a myth. But why is this debate relevant to anyone but a philosophy student keen to impress a potential date? Actually, a growing body of evidence from psychology suggests belief in free will matters enormously for our behaviour. It is also becoming clear that how we talk about free will affect whether we believe in it. In the lab, using deterministic arguments to undermine people\u2019s belief in free will has led to a number of negative outcomes including\u00a0increased cheating<\/a>\u00a0and aggression. It has also been linked to a\u00a0reduction in helping behaviours<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0lowered feelings of gratitude<\/a>. A recent study showed that it is possible to diminish people\u2019s belief in free will by simply\u00a0making them read a science article<\/a>\u00a0suggesting that everything is predetermined. This made the participants\u2019 less willing to donate to charitable causes (compared to a control group). This was only observed in non-religious participants, however.<\/p>\n

Up to half of childhood cancer survivors will develop hormone disorders<\/strong><\/a> – The Endocrine Society today issued a Clinical Practice Guideline advising healthcare providers on how to diagnose and treat the endocrine disorders that affect a significant portion of childhood cancer survivors in the United States today. The guideline, titled \u201cHypothalamic-Pituitary and Growth Disorders in Survivors of Childhood Cancer: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline,\u201d was published online and will appear in the July 2018 print issue of\u00a0The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism<\/i>\u00a0(JCEM<\/i>), a publication of the Endocrine Society. Recent data shows that almost 50 percent of these survivors will develop an endocrine disorder over their lifetime. The guideline provides recommendations on how to diagnose and manage certain endocrine and growth disorders commonly found in\u00a0childhood cancer survivors<\/a>. Childhood\u00a0cancer<\/a>\u00a0is relatively rare, and due to improvements in treatment and patient care, the current five-year survival rates exceed 80 percent. It\u2019s estimated that by 2020, there will be half a million\u00a0childhood<\/a>\u00a0cancer survivors in the United States. These survivors face a greater risk of developing serious medical complications, even decades after cancer treatment ends. Endocrine disorders are especially prevalent among this population, often as a result of their previous treatments, particularly exposure to radiation therapy.<\/p>\n

Thriving after depression: Why are scientists ignoring good outcomes?<\/strong><\/a> – In the wake of suicides by Kate Spade and\u00a0Anthony Bourdain, we as a nation are newly sobered by depression\u2019s threat to the public health. Depression is a common mood condition considered by the World Health Organization to be the leading cause of disability worldwide, ahead of widely publicized contenders such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Reading the news today, you will learn that depression leads to self-harm and suicidal thoughts, drug overdoses, school shootings and altercations with the police. Can this darkest of human frailties ever point the way to something better? What do clinical scientists know about redemption and personal growth in the aftermath of depression? How often does it happen? What initiates it? In a forthcoming article to appear in Perspectives on Psychological Science with our students, we reached a shocking conclusion: Experts have virtually nothing to say about this topic.<\/div>\n
