Neurodevelopmental Consequences Induced by Early‐Life Lead Exposure Through Disruption of Neurotransmitter Pathways and Molecular Mechanisms: A Systematic Review

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Lead is a toxic heavy metal with significant health risks, as maternal lead exposure during pregnancy disrupts fetal neural development through placental transfer, leading to persistent neurological, developmental, and long‐term health consequences in the progeny.

Relationship Between Central Sensitization and Genetic Polymorphisms—A Case–Control Study in Fibromyalgia

European Journal of Pain, Volume 30, Issue 6, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterised by widespread chronic pain, which is believed to be mediated by a state of central sensitisation (CS). Based on the hypothesis that CS itself could have genetic determinants, our aim was to further explore this pathway.

Epilepsy: Epidemiology, Molecular Pathogenesis, and Clinical Management

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
Epilepsy is a heterogeneous and chronically evolving brain network disorder. This review integrates epidemiological burden, psychiatric comorbidities, and cyclic seizure patterns with multiscale pathogenic mechanisms, including ion‐channel dysfunction, synaptic transmission defects, neuroinflammation, metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction, and ...

Dexmedetomidine Rapidly Relieves Stress‐Induced Hyperalgesia via Presynaptic α2‐Adrenergic Inhibition at Orbitofrontal–Insular Glutamatergic Synapses

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study identified a maladaptive OFC–AIC glutamatergic circuit in stress‐induced hyperalgesia induction. This critical circuit provides an α2‐AR‐dependent braking target for dexmedetomidine to alleviate excessive glutamatergic transmission and hyperalgesia. ABSTRACT Dexmedetomidine (Dex), an α2‐adrenergic receptor (α2‐AR) agonist, is widely used for

Proteomic Profiling of Primary Hippocampal Neurons Reveals Noncanonical GFAP Expression and Metabolic Adaptations in Glia‐Free Culture

PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 7, Page 111-130, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite their widespread use as a research model, a comprehensive, quantitative proteomic profile of the cultured hippocampal neurons has remained unexplored. Here, we provide the first global proteomic characterization of primary murine hippocampal neurons cultured for 14 days under near‐physiological glucose conditions (2.5 mM).

Comparative Cochlear–Vestibular Aging Reveals Age‐Aligned Mitochondrial Ultrastructural Burden, Mitophagy–Autophagy Remodeling, Synaptic Uncoupling, and Sensory Functional Decline

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study maps age‐aligned cochlear and vestibular decline in SAMP8 mice, linking functional impairment with synaptic vulnerability, mitochondrial ultrastructural injury, and autophagy/mitophagy–lysosome transcriptional remodeling. The findings provide an integrated framework for understanding shared inner‐ear aging trajectories.
