Central nervous system neurocytoma is a rare benign tumor of neuronal origin. Because of some clinical and radiological findings CNS neurocytomas were confused with other intraventricular lesions (ependymomas, choroid plexus papilloma, oligodendrogliomas, subependymal astrocytomas). Pathological diagnosis improved with immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies. We present three cases of intraventricular neurocytomas confirmed by immunohistochemical studies. According to the literature clinical signs, radiological features, surgical and pathological findings are discussed.

Background: Iron is one of the most important elements in brain that may has a direct impact on the stability of central nervous system. The current study devoted to explore the alterations of iron distribution across the whole brain in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Methods: The quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) technique was used to quantify the intracranial iron content of 74 T2DM patients with MCI and 86 T2DM patients with normal cognition (NC).

Over the past decade, neuropathological diagnosis has undergone significant changes, integrating morphological features with molecular biomarkers. The molecular era has successfully refined neuropathological diagnostic accuracy; however, a substantial number of CNS tumor diagnoses remain challenging, particularly in children. DNA methylation classification has emerged as a powerful machine learning approach for clinical decision-making in CNS tumors.

COVID-19 infection has been linked to ocular involvement, particularly retinal microvascular changes. Additionally, prolonged hypoxemia may affect retinal sublayers located within the retinal watershed zone. The aim of this study was to evaluate retinal and optic nerve OCT parameters in patients with COVID-19 illness of varying severity and compare them with controls.

We are not only passively immersed in a sensorial world, but we are active agents that directly produce stimulations. Understanding what is unique about sensory consequences can give valuable insight into the action-perception-cycle. Sensory attenuation is the phenomenon that self-produced stimulations are perceived as less intense compared to externally-generated ones.

Our brain seamlessly integrates distinct sensory information to form a coherent percept. However, when real-world audiovisual events are perceived, the specific brain regions and timings for processing different levels of information remain less investigated. To address that, we curated naturalistic videos and recorded functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) data when participants viewed videos with accompanying sounds.
