How do World Bank projects commit to citizen engagement?
No full textIDS POLICY BRIEFING HOW DO WORLD BANK PROJECTS COMMIT TO CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT? ISSUE 169, MARCH 2020.The World Bank provides one of the world’s largest sources of international
development funding, in 2019 committing US$62.3bn in loans, grants,
equity investments, and guarantees to governments and private businesses.
The institution’s responsibilities to partner governments are well defined.
Yet its duty to consider the perspectives and experiences of those affected
by its projects, as well as of civil society more broadly, remains ambiguous.
Long-standing concerns about whether and how the World Bank
demonstrates accountability to citizens have become amplified as it expands
involvement in fragile, conflict-, and violence-affected settings
Altered cerebellar connectivity in autism spectrum disorders and rescue of autism-related behaviors in mice
No full textAuthor manuscript. Published in final edited form as: Nat Neurosci. 2017 December ; 20(12): 1744–1751.Cerebellar abnormalities, particularly in Right Crus I (RCrusI), are consistently reported in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Although RCrusI is functionally connected with ASD-implicated circuits, the contribution of RCrusI dysfunction to ASD remains unclear. Here neuromodulation of RCrusI in neurotypical humans resulted in altered functional connectivity with the inferior parietal lobule, and children with ASD showed atypical functional connectivity in this circuit. Atypical RCrusI–inferior parietal lobule structural connectivity was also evident in the Purkinje neuron (PN) TscI ASD mouse model. Additionally, chemogenetically mediated inhibition of RCrusI PN activity in mice was sufficient to generate ASD-related social, repetitive, and restricted behaviors, while stimulation of RCrusI PNs rescued social impairment in the PN TscI ASD mouse model. Together, these studies reveal important roles for RCrusI in ASD-related behaviors. Further, the rescue of social behaviors in an ASD mouse model suggests that investigation of the therapeutic potential of cerebellar neuromodulation in ASD may be warranted
