Patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently experience sleep disturbance. Genetic mutations in the neuroligin 3 (NLG3) gene are highly correlative with ASD and sleep disturbance. However, the cellular and neural circuit bases of this correlation remain elusive. Here, we found that the conditional knockout of Nlg3 (Nlg3-CKO) in the medial septum (MS) impairs social memory and reduces sleep.

A 50 yo was resuscitated from ventricular fibrillation. He had a prehospital ECG recorded after ROSC: What do you think? This certainly looks like an anterior STEMI (proximal LAD occlusion), with STE and hyperacute T-waves (HATW) in V2-V6 and I and aVL. Although one may have all kinds of ischemic findings as a result of cardiac arrest (rather than cause of cardiac arrest), this degree of ST elevation and HATW is all but diagnostic of acute proximal LAD occlusion.
