Background And Objectives: The intraosseous subarcuate loop (SL) is a unique variant of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), where a loop of the artery is trapped in the petrous bone's subarcuate fossa (SF). Recognizing this variant is crucial for planning cerebellopontine angle (CPA) surgeries; however, data regarding its frequency and management vary in the published literature. A cohort from a single center was studied using MRI to assess its prevalence, and the findings were compared with the existing literature.

Residency websites can often be crucial for influencing neurosurgery applicants' first impressions of programs. This study explores the representation of diversity on neurological surgery residency program websites and evaluates the impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) statements. The websites of 117 neurological surgery residency programs were evaluated for the presence of 12 diversity and inclusion elements.

Objective: Theories of amygdala function are central to our understanding of psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. However, limited knowledge of the molecular and cellular composition of the amygdala impedes translational research aimed at developing new treatments and interventions. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the composition of amygdala cells to help bridge the gap between preclinical models and human psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the effectiveness of a "wait-and-scan" approach using MRI for managing patients with small to medium-sized vestibular schwannomas (VS), aiming to assess patient adherence to follow-up.
  • Over six years, 270 patients were tracked, revealing that 27% were completely lost to follow-up before receiving treatment, while another 22% missed scheduled MRI follow-ups.
  • The research identified key factors for loss to follow-up, including living out of state and having smaller tumor sizes, indicating that distance and tumor characteristics significantly impact patient adherence to recommended imaging surveillance.
