Buried Treasure? Overlooked and Newly Discovered Evolutionary Contributions to Human Brain Diseases
[Color figure can be viewed at www.annalsofneurology.org] Recapitulative schema of different exploratory levels of the evolutionary impact on human neurological diseases. Clinical neuroscience focuses on the mechanisms of brain function, but this approach falls short of insights into how the central nervous system (CNS) evolved, both in health and ...

ABSTRACT Autism is an early‐onset neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by restricted, repetitive behaviors and atypical patterns of social communication and interaction. A considerable proportion of autistic individuals experience divergent auditory perception, which can interfere with their ability to navigate everyday sound environments ...

Brainstem atrophy in focal epilepsy destabilizes brainstem-brain interactions: Preliminary findings. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: MR Imaging has shown atrophy in brainstem regions that were linked to autonomic dysfunction in epilepsy patients. The brainstem projects to and modulates the activation state of several wide-spread cortical/subcortical regions.

Degree of Cajal-Retzius cell mislocalisation correlates with the severity of structural brain defects in mouse models of dystroglycanopathy [PDF]
The secondary dystroglycanopathies are characterized by the hypoglycosylation of alpha dystroglycan, and are associated with mutations in at least 18 genes that act on the glycosylation of this cell surface receptor rather than the Dag1 gene itself.

Task-load-dependent activation of dopaminergic midbrain areas in the absence of reward [PDF]
Dopamine release in cortical and subcortical structures plays a central role in reward-related neural processes. Within this context, dopaminergic inputs are commonly assumed to play an activating role, facilitating behavioral and cognitive operations ...

Brain and retina in Alzheimer's disease: Pathological intersections and estimates from imaging
Abstract Recent studies have highlighted retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging as a promising biomarker for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This review connects AD brain pathology – particularly amyloid beta (Aβ), tau, and vascular changes – with corresponding retinal changes.

GABAergic neurons regulate lateral ventricular development via transcription factor Pax5 [PDF]
Postmortem studies have revealed a downregulation of the transcription factor Pax5 in GABAergic neurons in bipolar disorder, a neurodevelopmental disorder, raising the question whether Pax5 in GABAergic neurons has a role in normal brain development.

Automated Segmentation of the Pituitary and Pineal Glands
This work presents a deep‐learning‐based tool for automatic segmentation of the pituitary and pineal glands. It has two novel aspects: it considers the anterior and posterior lobes as separate labels rather than a single, combined structure, and it is also the first deep‐learning protocol for pineal gland segmentation. ABSTRACT The pituitary and pineal
