Recent findings suggest that prism adaptation can extend its effects beyond spatial attention, modulating the performance of different cognitive tasks by acting on cerebellar, parietal and temporal-frontal networks. We tested groups of healthy subjects to investigate the effects of rightward vs. leftward prism adaptation vs.

Background: Spontaneous non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (sSAH) is a severe brain vascular accident. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) can be theoretically assayed to predict a patient's progression, picturing different aspects of clinical failure after sSAH. The study aims to: a) explore the correlation between sSAH blood volume and biomarkers variation; b) evaluate if these can be predictive of the neurogenic response after sSAH and be prognostic of patient outcome; c) establish eventual threshold levels of biomarkers to define patients' clinical outcome.

Background: In accordance with technique advancement and minimal invasiveness surgical approaches, the minipterional has progressively replaced the standard pterional approach for treatment of unruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. Nowadays, multimodal intraoperative resources including microDoppler and microflow probes, indocyanine green videoangiography, and neurophysiologic monitoring constitute a fundamental prerequisite for increasing the safety of the clipping procedure. Our study investigated and compared in a single-center experience the effect of the evolution of a minimally invasive and multimodal approach in unruptured MCA aneurysm surgery by measuring postoperative complication rate, recovery time, and long-term neuropsychological and functional outcomes.
