Wake‐promoting neuromodulators in Alzheimer's disease: Implications for sleep and brain clearance
Abstract Neuromodulatory subcortical systems (NSS) regulate arousal, cognition, and sleep–wake transitions through widespread influence on cortical and subcortical networks. Increasing evidence links dysfunction of these systems to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Degeneration and dysregulation of NSS occurs during the preclinical phase of

Diffusion tensor imaging with direct cytopathological validation: Characterisation of decorin treatment in experimental juvenile communicating hydrocephalus [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In an effort to develop novel treatments for communicating hydrocephalus, we have shown previously that the transforming growth factor-β antagonist, decorin, inhibits subarachnoid fibrosis mediated ventriculomegaly; however decorin’s ability ...

Shunting for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) occurs when the brain ventricles expand, causing a triad of gait, cognitive, and urinary impairment. It can occur after a clear brain injury such as trauma, but can also occur without a clear cause (termed idiopathic, or iNPH). Non-randomised studies have shown a benefit from surgically diverting ventricular fluid to

Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus – What We Know
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder with clinical diagnosis and imaging confirmation that benefits from a neurosurgical therapeutic solution in the vast majority of cases. Prevalence among the general population is not well defined at this time, but prevalence and incidence in developed countries is certainly steadily ...

Diagnosis of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus is supported by MRI-based scheme: a prospective cohort study [PDF]
Background Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a treatable neurological syndrome in the elderly. Although the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of tight high-convexity and medial subarachnoid spaces and the ventriculo-peritoneal ...

Hidden aqueductal stenosis associated to bilateral idiopathic foramina of Monro stenosis mimicking a Chiari I malformation? Case report [PDF]
A 39-year old man came to our outpatient clinic with long history of unspecific symptoms and signs. Cerebral MRI showed herniation of the cerebellar tonsils of more than 1cm below the foramen magnum and a triventricular hydrocephalus.

Abnormal Gray Matter Structural Networks in Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Purpose: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is known as a treatable form of dementia. Network analysis is emerging as a useful method to study neurological disorder diseases. No study has examined changes of structural brain networks of iNPH

Investigating cerebral oedema using poroelasticity [PDF]
Cerebral oedema can be classified as the tangible swelling produced by expansion of the interstitial fluid volume. Hydrocephalus can be succinctly described as the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain which ultimately leads
