Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Skeletal Editing from Pyridine to Aniline via C‐Insertion and N‐Isomerization

ChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
A concise protocol is presented that converts pyridines into anilines by externalizing the original pyridine nitrogen at either the "ipso" or "ortho" position, which results in para or meta‐primary aniline products. A key carbene‐insertion step precedes nitrogen migration, preserving both ring size and overall structure.

Pergolide Mesilate May Improve Fatigue in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease

Behavioural Neurology, 2002
Objectives: Fatigue is a complaint frequently encountered among patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Considering the possible relationship between fatigue and dopaminergic dysfuncion, we investigated the effect of pergolide mesilate (a D2 and D1 ...

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

White Matter Dysfunction and Neurotransmitter Basis Underlying the Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
In the freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease, white matter shows decreased local activity but increased functional connectivity. These distinct dysfunctions are uniquely associated with specific neurotransmitter systems (GABA, dopamine, etc.), mapping a new neurochemical basis for this debilitating symptom. ABSTRACT Freezing of gait (FOG) is a severe

Paternal Exposure to the Neonicotinoid Pesticide Clothianidin Alters Sperm MicroRNA Profiles in Mice and Intergenerationally Reduces Locomotor Activity in Male Offspring

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence suggests that paternal environmental factors have epigenetic effects on sperm and influence offspring. Neonicotinoid pesticides (NNs), which are widely used around the world, are known to affect offspring phenotypes through maternal exposure in mice, but the effect of the paternal exposure remains unknown.

Traditional Chinese Medicine as an Integrative Adjunct in Oncology Perioperative Practice: Analgesia, Immune Modulation, and Translational Challenges

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including herbal analgesic adjuvants and acupuncture‐based interventions, has gained increasing attention as an integrative strategy for perioperative pain management in oncology. Bioactive phytochemicals—such as terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, and polyphenols—exert multimodal pharmacological effects ...

Chronic exposure to dopamine agonists affects the integrity of striatal D2 receptors in Parkinson's patients

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2017
We aimed to investigate the integrity and clinical relevance of striatal dopamine receptor type-2 (D2R) availability in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. We studied 68 PD patients, spanning from early to advanced disease stages, and 12 healthy controls.

Comparative Analysis of the Incidence, Prevalence, and Survival of 8 Types of Parkinsonism in a Population‐Based Study with 367 Million Person Years of Observation over 21 Years

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Findings are contradictory regarding changes in the incidence and prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) over time; data for other parkinsonian disorders are rare. Objectives To analyze temporal trends in the incidence and prevalence of eight parkinsonisms (PD, MSA, PSP, CBS, DLB, vascular parkinsonism, drug‐induced parkinsonism ...
