Gephyrin Neurological Autoimmunity

Annals of Neurology, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 781-787, October 2026.
Gephyrin is a postsynaptic scaffold protein essential for inhibitory neurotransmission. Gephyrin‐immunoglobulin G (IgG) was reported, decades ago, in a single case of paraneoplastic stiff‐person‐like syndrome, but its broader clinical relevance remains unknown.

Postmortem Findings in Patient with Guillain-Barré Syndrome and Zika Virus Infection

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Postmortem examination results of a patient with Guillain-Barré syndrome and confirmed Zika virus infection revealed demyelination of the sciatic and cranial IV nerves, providing evidence of the acute demyelinating inflammatory polyneuropathy Guillain ...

Multiparametric Quantitative MRI of Peripheral Nerves to Differentiate Demyelinating From Axonal Polyneuropathies

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 1077-1088, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Differentiating demyelinating from axonal polyneuropathies helps for accurate diagnosis and treatment. However, the current clinical tools lack sensitivity to confirm demyelination in peripheral nerves, particularly for proximal nerves.

Lumbosacral Plexopathy: A Single‐Center Review of Etiology, Clinical Presentation, Electrodiagnostic Findings, and Long‐Term Outcomes

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 1220-1229, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Lumbosacral plexopathy (LSP) results from a spectrum of etiologies and can cause substantial functional impairment. Limited data exist on the relative distribution of etiologies and outcomes across broad tertiary‐care cohorts spanning multiple causes of LSP.

Beyond the Rash: Simultaneous Bilateral Facial Nerve Palsy Following Childhood Varicella Infection

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Bilateral facial nerve palsy is a rare neurological condition in children and is infrequently associated with primary Varicella (chickenpox) infection. We report the case of a 10‐year‐old previously healthy girl who developed simultaneous bilateral lower motor neuron facial weakness 3 weeks after a self‐limiting varicella infection.

Crosstalk Between Cortical Plasticity and Peripheral Nervous Injury: Insights, Mechanisms, and Future Directions

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Peripheral nerve injury induces dynamic cortical plasticity, driven by molecular mechanisms such as BDNF and neurotransmitter systems. This review synthesizes subtype‐specific plasticity patterns: compressive injuries trigger rapid reorganization, while metabolic neuropathies lead to maladaptive changes.

Characterizing Combined Central and Peripheral Demyelination—Insights From a Multimodal Comparison With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy and Multiple Sclerosis

Muscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 605-615, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Combined central and peripheral demyelination (CCPD) is a rare dysimmune disorder sharing features with multiple sclerosis (MS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Direct comparisons of central and peripheral diagnostic findings across these entities remain limited. We, therefore, performed a

The Burden of Small Fiber Neuropathy: Changes in Pain, Costs, and Quality of Life Before and After Diagnosis

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, Volume 31, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) is a peripheral neuropathy causing neuropathic pain, reduced quality of life (QoL), and high societal costs. Previous studies assessed these societal costs before a definitive diagnosis was established, leaving it unclear whether diagnostic confirmation affects costs, pain intensity, or QoL ...

Cytomegalovirus-related Guillain-Barre syndrome in an adult liver transplant recipient: a case report

Infectio, 2023
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated condition affecting both the motor and sensory spinal roots and peripheric nerves. GBS is a rare entity, with its global incidence being as low as 0.81 to 1.89 cases per 100.000 person-year. Despite its

Pyruvate Kinase M2 Upregulation Is Associated With Guillain–Barré Syndrome Risk and Immune Dysregulation: Insights From Mendelian Randomization and the Experimental Autoimmune Neuritis Model

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to investigate the potential involvement of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) in the pathogenesis of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS). Methods Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to evaluate the causal association between PKM2 expression and GBS susceptibility, with mediation analysis performed to explore immune cell‐
