Chronic traumatic encephalopathy: State-of-the-science update and narrative review.

Clin Neuropsychol

January 2025

Departments of Neurology and Anatomy & Neurobiology, Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, Boston University CTE and Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers, Boston, MA, USA.

Objective: The long-recognized association of brain injury with increased risk of dementia has undergone significant refinement and more detailed study in recent decades. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a specific neurodegenerative tauopathy related to prior exposure to repetitive head impacts (RHI). We aim to contextualize CTE within a historical perspective and among emerging data which highlights the scientific and conceptual evolution of CTE-related research in parallel with the broader field of neurodegenerative disease and dementia.

Introduction: Migraine is a disabling neurological disorder with a complex neurobiology. It appears as a cyclic disorder of sensory processing, affecting multiple systems beyond nociception. Overlapping mechanisms, including dysfunctional processing of sensory input from brain structures are involved in the generation of attacks.

Neurobiology of L-proline: From molecules to behavior.

Neuroscience

January 2025

Departamento de Farmacologia, Instituto de Ciências Biológicas, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, Brazil. Electronic address:

L-proline is an amino acid with a unique cyclic structure, involvement in various physiological processes, such as protein synthesis, collagen production, and neurotransmission. This review explores the complex roles of proline in the central nervous system (CNS), where it contributes to both excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission. Additionally, L-proline has distinct metabolic functions attributed to its structural properties.

Norepinephrine (NE) promotes activated B cells to identify and kill effector CD8 T cells through FasL/Fas pathway in spleen mononuclear cells isolated from experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Brain Behav Immun

Department of Neurobiology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150081, Heilongjiang, PR China; The Key Laboratory of Myocardial Ischemia, Harbin Medical University, Ministry of Education, Harbin 150081, Heilongjiang, PR China. Electronic address:

It has been reported that the nervous system can regulate immune reactions through various mechanisms. However, the role of splenic sympathetic nerve activity in the autoimmune reactions during the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) remained unclear. Here, we blocked the activity of the splenic sympathetic nerve and found that the number of adaptive immune cells, such as CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells and B cells, were upregulated.

Erythromelalgia is a rare, chronic pain disorder characterized by the triad of intense burning sensation, warmth, and redness, primarily involving the hands and feet, and usually alleviated by cold and worsened by heat. The objective of this scoping review was to: 1) map the existing literature on erythromelalgia in youth, 2) identify knowledge gaps, and 3) inform directions for future research in pediatric erythromelalgia. One hundred and sixty-seven studies reporting 411 cases of childhood-onset erythromelalgia were identified.
