Movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and cervical dystonia (CD) are associated with abnormal neuronal activity in the globus pallidus internus (GPi). Reduced firing rate and presence of spiking bursts are typical for CD, whereas PD is characterized by high frequency tonic activity. This research aims to identify the most important pallidal spiking parameters to classify these conditions.

Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency characterized by prolonged seizures, with significant risks of neuronal injury and mortality. This case presents a 60-year-old man with drug-resistant epilepsy and a history of recurrent prolonged seizures. His seizures began in early childhood and persisted despite multiple anti-seizure medications.

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the leading cause of epilepsy-related death, likely stemming from seizure activity disrupting vital brain centres controlling heart and breathing function. However, understanding of SUDEP's anatomical basis and mechanisms remains limited, hampering risk evaluation and prevention strategies. Prior studies using a neuron-specific conditional knockout mouse model of SUDEP identified the primary importance of brain-driven mechanisms contributing to sudden death and cardiorespiratory dysregulation; yet, the underlying neurocircuits have not been identified.

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome (DDMS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by cerebral hemiatrophy, leading to seizures, hemiparesis, and cognitive deficits. We report the case of a 20-year-old female with a history of chronic seizure disorder and left-sided hemiparesis. The patient experienced her first seizure at 6 months of age, followed by recurrent generalized tonic seizures throughout childhood.

The excessive cytokine release and limited persistence represent major challenges for chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy in diverse tumors. Conventional CARs employ an intracellular domain (ICD) from the ζ subunit of CD3 as a signaling module, and it is largely unknown how alternative CD3 chains potentially contribute to CAR design. Here, we obtained a series of CAR-T cells against HER2 and mesothelin using a domain comprising a single immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif from different CD3 subunits as the ICD of CARs.
