The writing of scientific research papers is an essential part of being a Ph.D. student and a researcher within the field of Global Health. But how do you write good scientific papers and how do editors work with scientists of submitted papers? At this year's National PhD Conference in Global Health we had the opportunity to learn from one of the best within the field, Dr. Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief at The Lancet.
The year 2017 was a remarkable year for the Centre for Global Health at the University of Oslo and we are therefore happy to share our annual report.

The history of global health has several success stories, but very few with such positive rippling effects for the global community as the story of Dr. Paul Farmer, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, activist Ophelia Dahl, Todd McCormack, and investor Thomas White. On the 12th of March, their story was told in the film Bending the Arc as part of the Human Rights, Human Wrongs film festival in Oslo, followed by an engaging panel discussion organised by the Centre for Global Health, UiO.

Neurons’ sugar coating is essential for long-term memories
How the brain is able to store memories over long periods of time has been a persistent mystery to neuroscientists. In a new study, researchers from the Centre for Integrative Neuroplasticity (CINPLA) at the University of Oslo show that long-lived extracellular matrix molecules called perineuronal nets are essential for distant memories.
The new research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows that removal of the nets disrupts distant but not recent memories.
The Norwegian Research Council has granted 12,7 million NOK to The MIPREG Project: Closing the Gaps in Maternity Care to Migrant Women in Norway. The Centre for Global Health congratulates!
We're excited to find our paper on perineuronal nets and longterm memories picked by the editors in PNAS to be highlighted in this issue. They have written an excellent recap of our paper.

Centre for Global Health, UiO, Adult Psychiatry Unit, UiO and Regional Centre for Child and Youth Mental Health and Child Welfare, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) organized the seminar in Oslo, 8. December 2017. The Save the Children photo exhibit "Children fleeing ISIS" was displayed during the seminar.
Mental disorders such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) pose an enormous global disease burden. There is increasing research showing that conflict-affected people are a lot more likely to be affected by mental health issues. In order to shine light on this very important topic, the Centre for Global Health (CGH), the Adult Psychiatry Unit at the University of Oslo (UiO) together with the Regional Centre for Child and Youth Mental Health and Child Welfare at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) co-organised an event inviting leading practitioners and academics in the field to share their experience and research.
