AI Article Synopsis
- A new brain biopsy device offers improved techniques for obtaining high-quality biopsy samples from any brain region with minimal patient risk and high accuracy.
- The study involved 82 patients with various conditions, including infantile cerebral paralysis and dystonia, undergoing stereotaxic operations to access brain structures like the cortex and thalamus.
- Additionally, stereotaxic biopsies were performed on 20 patients with brain tumors, showcasing the device's versatility for different neurological conditions.
Article Abstract
A new device for brain biopsy is presented, the techniques and method of biopsy of brain structures are described which allow full value biopsy material to be obtained from any area of the brain with minimal risk for the patient and high accuracy of hitting the aim. Biopsy of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex, and thalamic and cerebellar nuclei was conducted in 82 patients during stereotaxic operations (34 patients with infantile cerebral paralysis, 8 with torsion dystonia, 8 with spasmodic torticollis). Stereotaxic biopsy of brain tumors of various localization was also performed in 20 patients.

Background And Objectives: Mitochondrial disorders are multiorgan disorders resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. We aimed to characterize death-associated factors in an international cohort of deceased individuals with mitochondrial disorders.
Methods: This cross-sectional multicenter observational study used data provided by 26 mitochondrial disease centers from 8 countries from January 2022 to March 2023.
Impaired spatial coding of the hippocampus in a dentate gyrus hypoplasia mouse model.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A

The hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) is thought to orthogonalize inputs from the entorhinal cortex (pattern separation) and relay this information to the CA3 region. In turn, attractor dynamics in CA3 perform a pattern completion or error correction operation before sending its output to CA1. In a mouse model of congenital hypoplasia of the DG, a deficiency in the (Wls) gene, specifically in cells expressing , which targets neuronal progenitors, led to an almost total absence of dentate granule cells and modestly impaired performance in spatial tasks.

Obtaining high-quality matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) images and the reproducibility of the technique depend strongly on the sample preparation protocol. The most crucial part is the application of the MALDI matrix, which often relies on expensive spraying or sublimation coaters. In this work, we present a new dual-polarity matrix for MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MSI): Basic Blue 7 (BB7), which belongs to the group of triarylmethane dyes.

Background Cognitive-communication disorders are highly prevalent after traumatic brain injury and have significant impacts on rehabilitation outcomes. TBIBank Grand Rounds was developed as an online multimedia resource to support clinical education about cognitive-communication disorders. The objective of this study was to survey speech pathology educators to establish their views towards TBIBank Grand Rounds.

Background: We aimed to characterize factors associated with the under-studied complication of cognitive decline in aging people with long-duration type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: Joslin "Medalists" (n = 222; T1D ≥ 50 years) underwent cognitive testing. Medalists (n = 52) and age-matched non-diabetic controls (n = 20) underwent neuro- and retinal imaging.
