Very happy to share our new recently published work! 🧬 lrrtm4l1 knockout in #zebrafish leads to: ⚠️ Increased anxiety ❌ Reduced aggression ...without changes in locomotion or social interaction. A fresh angle on #LRRTM4 and neuropsychiatric disease. 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/apha.70042

Our results highlight LRRTM4L1 as a potential modulator of dopaminergic & adenosinergic signaling—linking synaptic structure to emotional behavior. This may offer new insight into aggression/anxiety in neuropsychiatric conditions like ASD & Tourette's.

Key findings: High lrrtm4l1 expression in brain regions homologoud to amygdala & hippocampus KO zebrafish anxious in 3 assays (OFT, novel tank, light/dark) Less aggression in mirror-induced tests

Why does this matter? LRRTM4 is a synaptic adhesion protein linked to aggression & autism in humans, but its functional role in behavior has remained unclear. We used zebrafish to dissect behavior, transcriptomics & the metabolome.

Antipsychotics are often prescribed to suppress hyperaggression. Do they really suppress aggression or just cause sedation? Antipsychotics target dopamine receptors. Our new study, published today @Nature, uncovered the role of dopamine in aggression. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

What your brain's microbiome means for your health? The answer is: Absolutely nothing, as there is none. And no, brain microbiomes play also no role in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's. This article is not based on scientific information that is credible.
