Recurrent Anti-NMDAR Encephalitis Necessitating Oophorectomy in an Adolescent Patient: A Case Report.

Anti-NMDA receptor (A-NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune condition often associated with ovarian teratoma. Surgical removal of the teratoma is generally curative, and recurrence is uncommon. A 14-year-old female presented with psychiatric symptoms and was ultimately diagnosed with A-NMDAR encephalitis during a prolonged hospitalization.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis-Associated Persistent Organic Pollutant -Chlordane Causes GABA-Independent Toxicity to Motor Neurons, Providing Evidence toward an Environmental Component of Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease characterized by the death of upper and lower motor neurons. While causative genes have been identified, 90% of ALS cases are not inherited and are hypothesized to result from the accumulation of genetic and environmental risk factors. While no specific causative environmental toxin has been identified, previous work has indicated that the presence of the organochlorine pesticide chlordane in the blood is highly correlated with ALS incidence.

DARPP-32 distinguishes a subset of adult-born neurons in zebra finch HVC.

Adult male zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) continually incorporate adult-born neurons into HVC, a telencephalic brain region necessary for the production of learned song. These neurons express activity-dependent immediate early genes (e.g.
