Background: Intracranial choroid plexus tumors (CPT) are rare and primarily affect young children. Leptomeningeal dissemination (LMD) has been reported not only in high-grade choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC) but also in lower histological grades; however, a systematic evaluation of CPT-specific imaging characteristics remains lacking.
Methods: We analyzed the imaging characteristics of LMD in a single-center pediatric cohort of 22 CPT patients (thirteen choroid plexus papilloma (CPP), six atypical choroid plexus papilloma (aCPP), three CPC), comparing LMD features with those of the primary tumor.
Article Synopsis
- The globus pallidus internus (GPi) is the primary target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in dystonia treatment, but some patients show low response rates.
- A survey of DBS clinicians revealed that over 85% frequently use alternative targets, like the subthalamic nucleus, especially for patients who do not respond well to GPi-DBS.
- There is a need for more research on the effectiveness of these alternative targets and better criteria for identifying nonresponding dystonia patients.
Background: The three-class oddball paradigm allows to investigate the processing of behaviorally relevant and irrelevant auditory stimuli. In humans, event-related potentials (ERPs) are used as neural correlate of behavior. We recorded local field potentials (LFPs) within the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in rats during three-class and passive two-class oddball paradigms and analyzed the ERPs focusing on similarities to human recordings.

Digital exercise therapy designed to target pelvic pain can improve symptomology while reducing time and cost-related barriers to in-person clinical care.
Methods: This longitudinal, observational study of a digital women's pelvic health program examined pelvic pain, anxiety, and depression at 4 and 12 weeks in female adults experiencing chronic pelvic pain.
Land use change threatens global biodiversity and compromises ecosystem functions, including pollination and food production. Reduced taxonomic α-diversity is often reported under land use change, yet the impacts could be different at larger spatial scales (i.e.
