Specifying the neurobiological basis of human attachment: brain, hormones, and behavior in synchronous and intrusive mothers.
TL;DR: For instance, this paper examined the fMRI responses of synchronous vs intrusive mothers to dynamic, ecologically valid infant videos and their correlations with plasma Oxytocin, and found that among synchronous mothers, left NAcc and right amygdala were functionally correlated with emotion modulation, theory-of-mind, and empathy networks, whereas among intrusive mothers, activation of these nuclei exhibited greater cross-time disorganization.

Blood Transfusion Promotes Cancer Progression: A Critical Role for Aged Erythrocytes
Shir Atzil,Michal Arad,Ariella Glasner,Noa Abiri,Roi Avraham,Keren Greenfeld,Ella Rosenne,Benzion Beilin,Shamgar Ben-Eliyahu +8 more
TL;DR: In rats, transfusions of fresh blood is less harmful than transfusion of stored blood in the context of progressing malignancies, and mediating mechanisms through which erythrocytes' storage duration can impact the rate of complications while treating malignant diseases and potentially other pathologies are addressed.

Susanne Schweizer,Ajay B. Satpute,Shir Atzil,Andy P. Field,Caitlin Hitchcock,Melissa J. Black,Lisa Feldman Barrett,Tim Dalgleish +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that affective WM capacity may be a transdiagnostic mechanism associated with poor mental health and the importance of integrating behavioral and neural levels of analysis is highlighted.
