Estrogen status - not sex - protects against heightened fear recall

 E-Mail Philadelphia, April 15, 2021 -A new study shows that markers of fear recall differ between men and women, but in a hormone-dependent manner. Aberrant fear-memory processing in the brain is thought to underlie anxiety disorders, which affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The neurobiological mechanisms underlying these disorders remain poorly understood, but recent studies suggest that neural oscillations in the prefrontal cortex can reflect the strength of fear recall activity, providing a physiological measure. Women suffer from anxiety disorders at twice the rate of men and indeed the literature shows that there are sex differences in fear recall behaviors, but this area of study has not been extended to neural oscillations. Additional studies suggest a modulatory role for the female sex hormone estradiol (E2) for fear recall and extinction recall.

DFG establishes 13 new priority programs

 E-Mail The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) is establishing 13 new Priority Programmes (SPP) for 2022. This was decided by the DFG Senate at a meeting that was held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 13 new consortia were selected from 47 submitted initiatives and will receive a total of approximately €82 million for an initial three years. In addition, there will be a 22-percent programme allowance for indirect project-related costs. The programmes now approved cover the entire breadth of subjects, including the humanities and social sciences, engineering sciences, life sciences and natural sciences. The diverse range of topics include an analysis of the interaction between societies and pre-industrial floodplains in Central Europe on the way to the fluvial anthroposphere , a study of how European society has treated Jewish cultural heritage and the development of machine learning for molecular applications.
