The regeneration of LC‐NE from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) could significantly mitigate the progression of Neurodegenerative diseases and alleviate associated psychiatric disease symptoms, providing a new approach to the treatment of neurological diseases.

Preferential superficial cortical layer activation during seizure propagation
Abstract Objective Focal cortical seizures travel long distances from the onset zone, but the long‐distance propagation pathways are uncertain. In vitro and in vivo imaging techniques have investigated the local spread of seizures but did not elucidate long‐distance spread. Furthermore, classical studies in slices suggested seizure spread locally along

Estrogen synthesized in the central nervous system enhances MC4R expression and reduces food intake
Estrogen is regulated by the rate‐limiting enzyme aromatase. This study examines how neuroestrogens, estrogen produced in the brain, regulate appetite through the hypothalamus. Using ovariectomized, aromatase knockout, and brain‐specific aromatase‐restored mice, the study found that neuroestrogens suppress appetite by influencing genes like Mc4r.

Expanding our understanding of synucleinopathies: proteinopathy, proteinopenia, and lipidopathy
Neurodegeneration is thought to arise due to the disruption of the protein homeostasis. In synucleinopathies, alterations in the levels of functional and aggregated aSyn lead to proteinopenia and proteinopathy, respectively. aSyn and β‐glucocerebrosidase are closely linked to lipid metabolism, impacting organelle function and lipidostasis.
