Validating a SMIIL:) Development and initial validation of a Scale Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Learning (SMIIL)
(Taylor & Francis, 26 July 2021)Design and evaluation of interprofessional learning (IPL) in pre-qualification education lacks customization. In response to this, the Scale Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Learning (SMIIL) was developed to ... -
Oxytocin administration in neonates shapes hippocampal circuitry and restores social behavior in a mouse model of autism
(Springer Nature, 1 July 2021)Oxytocin is an important regulator of the social brain. In some animal models of autism, notably in Magel2tm1.1Mus-deficient mice, peripheral administration of oxytocin in infancy improves social behaviors until adulthood. ... -

(University of Exeter Diabetes and Vascular Research, 28 June 2021)Background and Aims: Quantitative assessment of small nerve fibre damage is key to the early diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and assessment of its progression. Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) is a ... -
Bright daytime light enhances circadian amplitude in a diurnal mammal
(National Academy of Sciences, 24 May 2021)Mammalian circadian rhythms are orchestrated by a master pacemaker in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), which receives information about the 24 h light–dark cycle from the retina. The accepted function of this ... -
Timed daily exercise remodels circadian rhythms in mice
(Nature Research, 18 June 2021)Regular exercise is important for physical and mental health. An underexplored and intriguing property of exercise is its actions on the body’s 24 h or circadian rhythms. Molecular clock cells in the brain’s suprachiasmatic ...
