Herein, a patient‐mounted neuro optical coherence tomography system that integrates a 5 degrees‐of‐freedom skull‐mounted robot (Skullbot) with a 0.6 mm neuroendoscope for targeted, minimally invasive deep brain imaging, is developed. The system offers high‐resolution imaging with precise deployment, demonstrated through successful tumor imaging in a ...

Brain–Computer Interfaces: The Dawn of a New Era in Disease Treatment
This study investigates the potential of brain–computer interface (BCI) technology in treating neuropsychiatric disorders, such as movement and communication barriers. Our review examines the history, signal paradigms, and diverse applications of BCI while also discussing ongoing research into novel materials and emerging technologies that offer ...

Neighborhood Deprivation and Voice and Reflux Symptom Burden in a Tertiary Laryngology Cohort
ABSTRACT Objective The voice handicap index‐10 (VHI‐10) and reflux symptoms index (RSI) are validated, patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) commonly used in laryngology to assess the subjective impact of voice disorders and severity of symptoms associated with laryngopharyngeal reflux, respectively.

Convergence Deficits in Myoclonus‐Dystonia Point to Cerebellar Impairment
Abstract Background Myoclonus‐dystonia (M‐D) is a monogenic movement disorder, with proposed cerebellar dysfunction. Vergence eye movement deficits, characteristics of degenerative cerebellar disease, have not been studied in M‐D. Cerebellar transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is considered a potential therapeutic approach.

Alternating hemiplegia of childhood-related neural and behavioural phenotypes in Na+, K+-ATPase a3 missense mutant mice [PDF]
Missense mutations in ATP1A3 encoding Na+,K+-ATPase α3 have been identified as the primary cause of alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), a motor disorder with onset typically before the age of 6 months. Affected children tend to be of short stature

MDSGene Systematic Review of Common Forms of Dominant Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia: Novel Insights
Abstract Background Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness. The most common forms of autosomal dominant HSP are caused by pathogenic variants in SPAST (SPG4 or HSP‐SPAST), ATL1 (SPG3A or HSP‐ATL1), and REEP1 (SPG31 or HSP‐REEP1).
