TL;DR: A 2026 Molecular Psychiatry study found ethanolamine in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was lower during active major depression, increased after electroconvulsive therapy, replicated across 4 sites, and tracked with symptom severity. https://brainasap.com/csf-ethanolamine-depression-ect-response/

Apolipoprotein E4 is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Here, Hällqvist et al. find an isoform-dependent gradient in the association of ethanolamine plasmalogen, a phospholipid implicated in #Alzheimers pathogenesis 👉 buff.ly/QPWXJ47

Interesting paper from EHJ on citation metrics. The paper proposes a modified H index taking into account things like whether the paper is primary or secondary research & whether the researcher is first or last author. Food for thought! #citationmetrics #cardiology academic.oup.com/eurheartj/ar...

Some of the Core Concepts of this pharmacology team enjoying the @britpharmsoc.bsky.social awards dinner.

We had a very engaging workshop on the Core Concepts of pharmacology at the @britpharmsoc.bsky.social annual meeting.

Also interesting to see common misconceptions arising from the students, which can then be addressed in subsequent teaching. Seem bigger gaps in pharmacoKinetics Vs pharmacodynamics #pharmacology2024 Prof Paul White from @MonashUni

Global representation through @IUPHAR_Ed to define core concepts in pharmacology using text mining followed by Dephi methodology #pharmacology2024

#pharmacology2024 Claire Hepburn from @dundeeuni explores how action verbs are used internationally in assessment, and what is understood by academics and students. Subtleties in language really do matter.

#pharmacology2024 - Roisin Kelly -Laubscher from Cork University explores the use of language in assessment through consideration of semantic density and semantic gravity, and the nuances of command words like 'discuss' and 'describe'. Language really does matter!
