Revolutionary 😲 Exposure of pregnant mice to BPA results in obesity in progeny for generations. Why? The mice have increased appetite, correlating with #epigenetic events in #sperm, affecting appetite-controlling neurons in hypothalamus. pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107… by @CorcesVictor

#JNeurosci: Using Pink1 knockout mice, Otero et al. @PittTweet discovered that PINK1 deficiency causes a striking simplification of cortical dendritic architecture, associated with reduced synaptic input and decreased spine density and maturation. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

Interesting reading for anyone interested in genetic risks for a neurodegenerative diseases. While the examples are for PD, principles apply for AD, FTD, ALS, etc.
