Targeting neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Almost 47 million people suffer from dementia worldwide, with an estimated new case diagnosed every 3.2 seconds. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) accounts for approximately 60%–80% of all dementia cases. Given this evidence, it is clear dementia represents one

Reduced neurosteroid potentiation of GABAA receptors in epilepsy and depolarized hippocampal neurons [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Neurosteroids regulate neuronal excitability by potentiating γ-aminobutyric acid type-A receptors (GABARs). In animal models of temporal lobe epilepsy, the neurosteroid sensitivity of GABARs is diminished and GABAR subunit composition is ...

Massive Retinal Gliosis Mistaken as a Malignant Intraocular Tumor in Phthisis Bulbi
Massive retinal gliosis (MRG) is a rare condition of non-neoplastic glial proliferation, which forms massive lesions that fill the eye. MRG is commonly associated with phthisis bulbi (a non-functional eye), congenital anomalies, or malformations. Herein,

Restless Legs Syndrome Shows Increased Silent Postmortem Cerebral Microvascular Disease With Gliosis
Background Patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) have increased silent microvascular disease by magnetic resonance imaging. However, there has been no previous autopsy confirmation of these magnetic resonance imaging findings. RLS is also frequently
