Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and sleep disorders
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by prion protein infection. Compared with other neurodegenerative diseases, neuronal cell apoptosis in CJD occurs more rapidly.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Final Stage of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease of the central nervous system. The clinical course is characterized by rapid progression of neurological and neuromuscular symptoms.

Different forms of the bovine PrP gene have five or six copies of a short, G-C-rich element within the protein-coding exon [PDF]
Current models of the virus-like agents of scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) have to take into account that structural changes in a host-encoded protein (PrP protein) exhibit an effect on the time course of these diseases and the ...

Imaging and CSF analyses effectively distinguish CJD from its mimics [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To review clinical and investigation findings in patients referred to a specialist prion clinic who were suspected to have sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) and yet were found to have an alternative final diagnosis. METHODS: Review the

A Systematic Comparison of Alpha‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Assays for Increasing Reproducibility
ABSTRACT Seed amplification assays (SAAs) enable ultrasensitive detection of misfolded α‐synuclein across biofluids and tissues. Yet, heterogeneity in protocols limits cross‐study comparability and clinical translation. Here, we review α‐synuclein SAA methods and their performance across various biological matrices.

Cerebral organoids are transforming brain research, yet the field remains fragmented. This comprehensive systematic review maps 738 studies published between 2014 and 2024 to uncover trends, gaps, and opportunities across neuroscience. Introducing OrganoidMap—an interactive, open‐access platform to explore and compare models—this work enables ...

Chronological Diagnostic Algorithm Predicting Neuropathology in Parkinsonism
Objective Pre‐mortem diagnosis of parkinsonism is often challenging due to atypical presentations, overlapping syndromes, and co‐pathologies. This study aimed to develop a machine learning‐based algorithm predicting neuropathology in parkinsonism using chronological clinical presentations, which has previously been underexplored.

MicroRNAs in Prion Diseases—From Molecular Mechanisms to Insights in Translational Medicine
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules able to post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression via base-pairing with partially complementary sequences of target transcripts.
