Food-induced behavioral sensitization, its cross-sensitization to cocaine and morphine, pharmacological blockade, and effect on food intake [PDF]
Repeated administration of abused drugs sensitizes their stimulant effects and results in a drug-paired environment eliciting conditioned activity. We tested whether food induces similar effects.

Psychiatric Comorbidity, Tic Severity and Quality of Life in Adults with Tourette's Syndrome
Abstract Background Psychiatric comorbidities are common in adults with Tourette's Syndrome (TS), and appear to influence both tic severity and quality of life (QOL). Objective To assess the association between psychiatric comorbidities, tic severity and QOL in TS.

Locomotor hyperactivity in 14-3-3Zeta KO mice is associated with dopamine transporter dysfunction [PDF]
Dopamine (DA) neurotransmission requires a complex series of enzymatic reactions that are tightly linked to catecholamine exocytosis and receptor interactions on pre- and postsynaptic neurons.

Distinct Brain Drivers and Shared Cerebello–Cortical Input in ADCY5 and SGCE Hyperkinetic Movements
Resting‐state fMRI and effective connectivity revealed distinct cerebellar–basal ganglia–cortical interactions in ADCY5 (MxMD‐ADCY5) and SGCE (MYC/DYT‐SGCE) related movement disorders. The cerebellum modulated cortex directly in MYC/DYT‐SGCE, but indirectly via basal ganglia‐cerebellar projections in MxMD‐ADCY5, which also showed reduced subthalamic ...

Clinical Predictors of Tic‐Related Impairment in Children and Adults with Tourette Syndrome
Abstract Background Tic‐related impairment drives treatment decisions for Tourette syndrome and related tic disorders. The clinical features most strongly associated with impairment remain unclear. Objective The aim of this analysis is to identify clinical predictors of tic‐related impairment in children and adults with tic disorders in a prospective ...

Cancer therapies can trigger neuroinflammation and disrupted neuroplasticity, contributing to cognitive impairment and psychological distress in survivors. Stem cells (NSCs/MSCs) and their extracellular vesicles may restore neural niches via trophic support, immunomodulation, synaptic remodeling, and vascular repair, but require rigorous safety, dosing,
