Schioliosis, the Serotonin Connection

Quote: Abstract Recent research has suggested a potential association between serotonin and idiopathic scoliosis, a complex spinal deformity of unknown origin. Studies have explored genetic associations, altered serotonin levels, and the effects of serotonin-related medications in the context of idiopathic scoliosis. Genetic studies have identified significant associations between idiopathic scoliosis and serotonin-related genes, indicating a potential genetic predisposition to the condition. Furthermore, altered serotonin levels have been observed in patients with idiopathic scoliosis, with lower serum serotonin levels reported compared to healthy controls. This chapter reviews some of the published genomic variants associated with idiopathic scoliosis. The effects of serotonin-related medications have also been investigated, highlighting potential therapeutic benefits. However, the exact mechanisms underlying the association between serotonin and idiopathic scoliosis remain unclear, warranting further research. While theoretical and animal models have shown connections between serotonin metabolism and idiopathic scoliosis, there are uncertainties when translating this information into clinical practice for primary care and other musculoskeletal specialty providers. This chapter outlines the serotonergic pathways of musculoskeletal function, serotonin clinical laboratory testing methods, as well as clinical management strategies including pharmacological, nutrient, dietary, and lifestyle-based options. Keywords genomicsposturescoliosisserotoninspine Author Information Show 1. Introduction Serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in the central nervous system (CNS). It is derived from the amino acid tryptophan and is involved in numerous physiological functions, including mood regulation, sleep, appetite, and cognition. Structurally, serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter with a chemical formula of C10H12N2O. It contains an indole ring and an amine group, making it a member of the indoleamine class of neurotransmitters. Serotonin exerts its effects by binding to specific receptors, mainly the 5-HT receptors, which are widely distributed throughout the brain and other tissues. While serotonins involvement in mental health disorders like depression and anxiety is well-established, recent research has also highlighted its potential role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis, a complex spinal deformity of unknown origin.

Multimodal Speech Composites Separate Age-Related, Subjective, and Clinical Cognitive Change in Narrative Recall Tasks

Quote: Theory-driven multimodal composites reveal qualitatively distinct cognitive signatures across the aging-to-impairment continuum from a single brief task, with embedding-based features capturing variation invisible to standard scoring.

A Biologically Constrained Continuous-Time Framework for Long-Horizon Cognition Forecasting in Alzheimers Disease

Quote: The model also supports prognostic enrichment for Alzheimers clinical trials, achieving up to 2.70x enrichment over the cohort base rate. These results demonstrate that embedding biological disease mechanisms within continuous-time deep learning improves the accuracy, biological plausibility, and clinical utility of long-horizon cognitive forecasting.

Plasma p-tau217 and NfL predict incident dementia in the community

Quote: The association of p-tau217 with incident dementia differed by sex. DISCUSSION: These findings support the use of blood-based biomarkers for population-level dementia risk stratification, underscore the value of combining markers to improve prognostic precision, and can aid clinicians using plasma p-tau217 or NfL in interpreting dementia risk.

Genetic architecture of treatment-resistant schizophrenia across East Asian and European cohorts: insights from GWAS, TWAS, and synaptic pathway analyses

Quote: Although such treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) shares a substantial genetic liability with treatment-responsive schizophrenia, the limited efficacy of dopamine antagonists in TRS indicates that mechanisms beyond dopamine signalling likely contribute to treatment-resistance, requiring the identification of alternative biological pathways....

Our work suggests there is promise in pathway-level and multi-omics approaches to elucidate biologically meaningful heterogeneity within SSD and provides support for synaptic mechanisms as potential targets for understanding and stratifying treatment-resistance.

Oxytocin reshapes fear control: intensity-dependent prefrontal dominance and whole-brain integration during naturalistic viewing

Quote: At the large-scale network level, OT increased communication between frontoparietal/default-mode control networks and subcortical/limbic networks during high fear indicating more integrative fear regulation. A whole-brain fear neuromarker (CAFE) further confirmed intensity-dependent OT effects. Together, these findings indicate that OT modulates post-exposure fear experience and fear-related neural dynamics in ecologically valid contexts.

miR-151a-5p in Neuron-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Mediates Antidepressant Response

Quote: Moreover, administration of miR-151a-5ploaded NEVs in a model of depressive-like behavior produced rapid antidepressant-like effects. Together, these findings identify a vesicle-based mechanism linking peripheral biomarkers to central pathophysiology and demonstrate that miR-151a-5p functions both as a predictor and effector of antidepressant response.

Scientists Say Just 7 Days of Meditation Can Rewire Your Brain

Quote: "Weve known for years that practices like meditation can influence health, but whats striking is that combining multiple mind-body practices into a single retreat produced changes across so many biological systems that we could measure directly in the brain and blood," said senior study author Hemal H. Patel, Ph.D., professor of anesthesiology at UC San Diego School of Medicine and research career scientist at the Veterans Affairs San Diego Healthcare System. "This isnt about just stress relief or relaxation; this is about fundamentally changing how the brain engages with reality and quantifying these changes biologically."
Comment: Those who relax and reflect live far easier lives than those who only react to the immediate. The brain just works better when relaxed and not hepped up on alcohol or coffee.
