Frontal and parietal regions are associated with some of the most complex cognitive functions,and several frontoparietal resting state networks can be observed in wakefulness. We used functional magnetic resonance imagin...

BackgroundAlzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent dementia, is primarily underpinned by the amyloid cascade hypothesis. Passive Aβ immunotherapy effectively reduces cerebral Aβ deposition but is limited by sever...

BackgroundCo-exposure to noise and microwave radiation occurs frequently. The central nervous system has been identified as a sensitive target organ for both noise and microwave exposure individually, and the underlying ...

Abstract Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) needs inter-disciplinary care through pre-hospital resuscitation, emergency and neurosurgical care, neurocritical care, and structured neurorehabilitation to maximize surv...

There is a growing interest in the potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for implementing regenerative medicine in the brain as they have shown neurogenic and immunomodulatory activities. We assessed the effect of i...

BackgroundGlioblastoma (GBM) remains a lethal brain tumor with limited therapeutic options and near-universal recurrence. Drug repurposing offers a practical strategy, but pleiotropic compounds require systematic target ...

Abstract The genomic locus that encodes the Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene is highly pleiotropic and associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Coding variants associated with risk of PD act as gain of functi...

Abstract Background Subcortical structures are pivotal for cortico-subcortical communication, yet are highly vulnerable to stroke. Damage to these structures can produce widespread cortical dysfunction, but how subcortic...

Abstract Fetal growth restriction (FGR) occurswhen the fetus does not reach its intrauterine potential for growth and development as a result of compromise in placental function. It is a condition that affects 5 to 10% o...

Abstract Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating multisystem disease characterized by heterogeneous symptom patterns. Previous work suggested that specific symptoms tend t...

Organotypic slice culture is a sophisticated technique historically used in cellular and developmental neurobiology to investigate three-dimensional architecture and cellular interactions. Maintaining thin tissue slices ...

Abstract Background SPTBN1 encodes βII-spectrin, a cytoskeletal protein essential for neuronal structure and function. Pathogenic variants in this gene cause a neurodevelopmental disorder known as DDISBA (Developmental ...

Exosomes, a specialized class of extracellular vesicles, exhibit significant therapeutic potentials for neurological disorders, in particular for vascular dementia (VaD). VaD is the second most common form of dementia, c...

Introduction IBS is a chronic disorder of gut–brain interaction characterized by recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel habits and substantial impairment in quality of life and psychosocial functioning....

Background and Aim: Cerebral ischemia is a major neurological condition that contributes significantly to global morbidity and mortality. It occurs due to reduced blood supply to the brain, leading to neuronal injury and...

Neurodegenerative disorders represent a major and growing global health challenge, characterized by progressive neuronal loss, multifactorial pathophysiology, and limited disease-modifying pharmacological options. Increa...

Abstract Neural circuits construct internal ‘world-models’ to guide behavior. The predictive processing framework posits that neural activity signaling sensory predictions and concurrently computing prediction-errors...

Sequestosome 1/p62 (hereafter referred to as p62) is a multifunctional protein that orchestrates various cellular stress response pathways including autophagy, proteasome-mediated degradation, antioxidant defense, nutrie...

Throughout history, our capacity to shed tears has attracted the attention of poets, writers, philosophers, and scholars. Moreover, humans' fascination with tears is evident in the significant roles they played in legend...

Abstract Publicly available, large-scale medical imaging datasets are crucial for developing and validating artificial intelligence (AI) models and conducting retrospective clinical research. However, multimodal datasets...

Abstract Neuroinflammation is a key pathogenic factor for neurodegenerative diseases. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation, as a potential strategy for regulating neuroinflammation, has received extensive attentio...

Abstract Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent disorder of gut-brain interaction in which psychosocial factors can exacerbate symptoms. Although cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has proven effective ...
