Schizophrenia Autoantibodies The first story is a bioRxiv study asking how immune activity may relate to schizophrenia. Researchers used a proteome-scale assay to profile autoantibodies in 352 people with schizophrenia and 971 community controls. Source link Reddit discussion 2. Germany Neurotech The second story is a community-made map of neurotechnology companies in Germany and Austria. The post catalogs 59 organizations working across digital therapeutics, EEG, neuromodulation, neuroimaging, rehabilitation, surgical tools, and assistive technology. Source link Reddit discussion 3. Height Avoidance The third story is a bioRxiv preprint on how mice avoid heights. Researchers built a virtual pole-descent task that let mice repeat height-related choices without quickly habituating to the situation. Source link Reddit discussion That's it for today.
