A 1-month ketogenic diet in patients with migraine gives a clinical beneficial effect associated with increased latency of somatosensory thalamo-cortical activity.

Objective: Since the habituation deficit of evoked potentials could be related to abnormal thalamocortical drive, we searched for a modulatory effect of ketogenic diet (KD) on somatosensory-evoked thalamo-cortical activity. KD is effective in preventing migraine. Previous studies showed that KD normalises habituation of somatosensory and visual cortical evoked responses in parallel with a decrease in of migraine attack frequency.

EEG-based sensorimotor neurofeedback for motor neurorehabilitation in children and adults: A scoping review.

Objective: Therapeutic interventions for children and young people with dystonia and dystonic/dyskinetic cerebral palsy are limited. EEG-based neurofeedback is emerging as a neurorehabilitation tool. This scoping review maps research investigating EEG-based sensorimotor neurofeedback in adults and children with neurological motor impairments, including augmentative strategies.

Genetic and clinical study of in Japanese Parkinson's disease.

Background: Biallelic variants in , which encodes protein-nucleic acid deglycase DJ-1, can cause early-onset Parkinson's disease (PD). Although many patients with variants have been identified from European and Middle Eastern ethnic groups, there have been no reports in the Japanese population.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence and clinical features of patients with PD harboring variants in Japan.

[HIF-ɑ: New Target For Treatment of Renal Anemia. Molecular Aspects and Activation of Pathway HREs].

Roxadustat, recently approved, is a hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor that has demonstrated favorable safety and efficacy in the treatment of renal anemia. This article reviews main features and possible effects by activation of pathway sequences HREs.

Hereditary spastic paraparesis type 18 (SPG18): new ERLIN2 variants in a series of Italian patients, shedding light upon genetic and phenotypic variability.

Introduction: Hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) is a group of central nervous system diseases primarily affecting the spinal upper motor neurons, with different inheritance patterns and phenotypes. SPG18 is a rare, early-onset, complicated HSP, first reported as linked to biallelic ERLIN2 mutations. Recent cases of late-onset, pure HSP with monoallelic ERLIN2 variants prompt inquiries into the zygosity of such genetic conditions.
