The gut microbiome shapes social behaviour across animal species - Nature Reviews Microbiology
The gut microbiome can influence brain activity and complex behaviours. In this Review, Griffiths et al. discuss microbiome-associated effects on social behaviour in laboratory model organisms, free-living animals and humans, and consider potential mechanistic pathways.

A Review in Nature Reviews Psychology proposes that understanding violent extremism needs integration of trait-descriptive models with process-oriented frameworks that outline mechanisms in social reactivity, needs and mindsets that make some people more at risk for engaging in violent extremism. 🧪
Individual differences in violent extremism - Nature Reviews Psychology
In this Review, Obaidi et al. propose that understanding violent extremism requires integration of trait-descriptive models (such as Big Five and HEXACO) with process-oriented frameworks that outline mechanisms in social reactivity, needs and mindsets that make some individuals more at risk for engaging in violent extremism.

Covid-19 has been linked to cardiovascular complications, but the long-term impacts, particularly for mild infections, are not well understood. A study in Nature Communications demonstrate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease after Covid-19, also among mild cases. #medsky #cardiosky 🧪
Covid-19 and cardiovascular disease in a total population-study of long-term effects, social factors and Covid-19-vaccination - Nature Communications
Covid-19 has been linked to cardiovascular complications, but the long-term impacts, particularly for mild infections, are not well understood. Here, the authors investigate the long-term impacts of Covid-19 on cardiovascular disease using data on the whole population of Sweden aged 40-75 years.
