Article Synopsis
- - Von Economo neurons (VENs) and fork cells, found in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and frontoinsular cortex (FI), play a role in how we process emotions and make decisions by integrating information from the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
- - Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a rare disorder leading to autonomic dysfunction and specific behavioral issues, which overlap with symptoms of autism spectrum disorder, suggesting possible shared pathways in emotional regulation.
- - A study comparing brain samples from FD patients and matched controls revealed changes in the density and distribution of VENs, fork cells, and pyramidal neurons in the ACC and FI, indicating that abnormalities in VENs may contribute to the pathoph
The concepts of post-stroke depression and vascular depression have emphasized the bidirectional etiologic links that may connect depression and cardiovascular risk factors. In post-stroke depression, the pathogenic role of a chronic cumulative "burden" of subcortical lesions has been well established. In what concerns late-onset depression and the symptomatic profile attributed to "vascular depressions, and despite a growing body of evidence from both neuroimaging and neuropathologic studies, this bilateral causality is still matter of debate.
