Traumatic Brain Injury Induces Genome-Wide Transcriptomic, Methylomic, and Network Perturbations in Brain and Blood Predicting Neurological Disorders. [PDF]
The complexity of the traumatic brain injury (TBI) pathology, particularly concussive injury, is a serious obstacle for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term prognosis. Here we utilize modern systems biology in a rodent model of concussive injury to gain a

Understanding Mechanisms of Whole Brain and Regional Grey Matter Atrophy in Children With MOGAD
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the mechanisms driving whole brain and regional grey matter (GM) volume changes along with their clinical correlates in paediatric myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG‐Ab)–associated disease (MOGAD). Methods One‐hundred‐nine paediatric MOGAD patients from two UK centres underwent MRI at attack nadir and ...

Evolution of the human fear-circuitry and acute sociogenic pseudoneurological symptoms: The Neolithic balanced-polymorphism hypothesis [PDF]
In light of the increasing threat of large-scale massacres such as terrorism against non-combatants (civilians), more attention is warranted not only to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but also to acute sociogenic pseudoneurological ("conversion ...

Long‐Term Temporal Profile of Motor Recovery After Intracerebral Hemorrhage
ABSTRACT Objective Limited data is available to describe the temporal profile of long‐term recovery over 1 year after the stroke in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods A registered multicentral cohort was conducted to consecutively include non‐herniated supratentorial ICH patients from November 2013 to January 2023 ...

Effects of dance therapy on balance, gait and neuro-psychological performances in patients with Parkinson's disease and postural instability [PDF]
Postural Instability (PI) is a core feature of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and a major cause of falls and disabilities. Impairment of executive functions has been called as an aggravating factor on motor performances. Dance therapy has been shown effective

In Vitro Modeling of Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity to Inform Personalized ALS Therapeutics
ABSTRACT Objective Natural killer (NK) cells might contribute to motor neuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) through direct cytotoxicity, a process that could be inhibited with the FDA‐approved JAK/STAT pathway inhibitor, tofacitinib. This study aimed to verify that tofacitinib can suppress NK cell cytotoxicity, investigate if immune cell
