Taste preferences in fishes are known mainly for carnivorous species, whereas herbivorous consumers were rarely used in such studies. The main goal of the present study was to evaluate the taste preferences in the herbivorous African cichlid fish, Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. In laboratory settings, the palatability of widely used taste substances (four taste substances that are considered to be sweet, sour, bitter and salty for humans - sucrose, citric acid, calcium chloride and sodium chloride; 21 free L-amino acids; 12 sugars and artificial sweetener Na-saccharin; 0.1-0.0001 M) was evaluated. In each trial, a standard agar pellet flavoured with a substance was offered for fish individually. The consumption of pellet, the number of grasps and the retention time before the pellet was finally ingested or rejected were registered. Overall, 21 of 38 substances were palatable, whereas other substances did not shift consumption of pellets in relation to blank pellets. Pellets containing citric acid, L-cystlated with the palatability of substances and was significantly longer in trials that ended up with pellet swallowing. It is suggested that prolonged orosensory evaluation of food before swallowing provides a reliable and accurate sensory evaluation, which, in turn, can reduce the probability that inadequate food will be consumed.In Focus Scalercio, S., Cini, A., Menchetti, M., Vodă, R., Bonelli, S., Bordoni, A., … Dapporto, L. (2020). How long is 3 km for a butterfly? Ecological constraints and functional traits explain high mitochondrial genetic diversity between Sicily and the Italian Peninsula. Journal of Animal Ecology. https//doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.13196. Biotic and abiotic factors can shape geographical patterns of genetic variation within species, but few studies have addressed how this might generate common patterns at the level of communities of species. Scalercio et al. (2020) have combined mtDNA sequence data and life-history traits, to reveal a repeated pattern of genetic structure between Sicilian and southern Italian butterfly populations, which are separated by only 3 km of ocean. They reveal how intrinsic species traits and extrinsic environmental constraints explain this pattern, demonstrating an important role for wind. Moreover, the inclusion of almost 8,000 georeferenced sequences reveals that, in spite of also being present in southern Italy, almost half of Sicilian butterfly species are more closely related to populations from other parts of Europe, Asia or North Africa. We provide further discussion on the biogeographic barrier they identify, and the potential of community-level DNA barcoding to identify processes that structure genetic variation across communities. To examine the influences of depression and anxiety on headache-related disability in people with episodic migraine or chronic migraine. Depression and anxiety are common comorbidities in people with migraine, especially among those with chronic migraine. This cross-sectional analysis of data from the longitudinal, internet-based Chronic Migraine Epidemiology and Outcomes Study assessed sociodemographic and headache features, and headache-related disability (Migraine Disability Assessment Scale). Four groups were defined based on scores from validated screeners for depression (9-item Patient Health Questionnaire) and anxiety (7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale) depression alone, anxiety alone, both, or neither. Respondents (N=16,788) were predominantly women (74.4% [12,494/16,788]) and white (84.0% [14,044/16,788]); mean age was 41 years. C59 Depression was more likely in persons with chronic migraine vs episodic migraine (56.6% [836/1476] vs 30.0% [4589/15,312]; P<.001), as were anxiety (48.4% alone and anxiety alone are associated with greater headache-related disability after controlling for sociodemographic and headache features. Coexisting depression and anxiety are more strongly associated with disability than either comorbidity in isolation. Interventions targeting depression and anxiety as well as migraine itself may improve headache-related disability in people with migraine. Cluster headache is a highly disabling neurological disorder. The purpose of this review is to highlight recent therapeutic advances in the treatment of cluster headache such as monoclonal antibodies as well as non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation, and examine future potential therapeutic targets. Several therapeutic agents currently in use may have underlying mechanisms important to cluster headache pathophysiology and have yet to be completely elucidated. The psychobiological aspects of cluster headache have a significant impact on patients, as well as pose limitations for treatment. Neuropeptides may play a role in underlying mechanisms in why cluster headache patients are frequent tobacco smokers. Alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and neuroinflammation may play a role in suicidality. The circadian nature of cluster headache may generate the development of future treatment options. New understanding of mechanisms underlying post-traumatic headache may also provide insights into cluster headache pathophysiology. Molecular targets and neuromodulation advances have paved the way for a new generation of therapeutic agents in cluster headache. There are several other potential targets.Molecular targets and neuromodulation advances have paved the way for a new generation of therapeutic agents in cluster headache.

The regulatory role of a variety of microRNAs in PD has been confirmed, and our study is the first to demonstrate that miR-3473b is involved in the regulation of PD. In vitro, an miR-3473b inhibitor can inhibit the secretion of inflammatory factors (TNF-α and IL-1β) in moues microglia cell line (BV2) cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and promote autophagy in BV2 cells. In vivo, miR-3473b antagomir can inhibit the activation of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) microglia of C57BL/6 mice induced by 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and promote autophagy. Deletion of TREM2, one of the most highly expressed receptors in microglia, leads to the occurrence and development of PD. ULK1 is a component of the Atg1 complex. Deletion of ULK1 aggravates the pathological reaction of PD. TREM2 and ULK1 are predicted potential targets of miR-3473b by Targetscan. Then, the results of our experiments indicate that transfection with a miR-3473b mimic can inhibit the expression of TREM2 and ULK1.
