Shifts in blood pressure can influence visual cortical activity, potentially altering cognitive and sensory processing. This research holds clinical relevance in evaluating disorders like orthostatic hypotension and syncope, where postural changes compromise cerebral blood flow.

NT1 has been hypothesized to be an immunological disorder; its treatment is currently only symptomatic, and misdiagnosis is not uncommon. This study compares the -glycome of NT1 patients with healthy controls in search of potential glycan biomarkers using LC-MS/MS.
