A short thread on a recent publication from @HiyaaLab, in Translational Psychiatry. The study shows that the dendritic structure & electrical properties of adult neurons in healthy brains depend on proactive regulation by the gene Tcf4, a high risk allele for #Schizophrenia.

The #research reveals unexpected gene-networks, previously known to be involved in ciliary pathways, underlie #structural and #functional integrity of mature neurons in the healthy adult brain.

Given that the elaborate #dendrites & spines enable a neuron’s physical and electrical connectivity in a #neural circuit, alteration in the structure disrupts neuronal function, affecting the circuits and #cognition. 3/7
@StanfordPain @BethDarnall @nature The following is an VERY important thread by @Shasta77777 who is pointing out valid fears and concerns about taking #biopsychosocial medicine too far and using it as a blunt weapon to remove analgesia from patients with #chronic #degenerative disease. PLEASE...hear us.
