We present and discuss a case of lifelong tinnitus in an otolaryngologist (L.D.L.) followed by complete elimination of the tinnitus as a result of a cerebral vascular accident located in the left corona radiata. Pre- and post-CVA audiograms showed no change in hearing. A magnetic resonance imaging study of the brain documents the size and location of the lesion. Discussion looks at recent studies of the central nervous system showing evidence of increased activity related to tinnitus. Our assessment of the lesion and the resulting loss of tinnitus can be explained by the neurophysiological model of tinnitus, which includes plasticity of the central nervous system.

Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cell type in the central nervous system (CNS). Astrocytes are born during the early postnatal period in the rodent brain and mature alongside neurons, demonstrating remarkable morphological structural complexity, which is attained in the second postnatal month. Throughout this period of development and across the remainder of the lifespan, astrocytes participate in CNS homeostasis, support neuronal partners, and contribute to nearly all aspects of CNS function.

Orchestrated changes in cell arrangements and cell-to-cell contacts are susceptible to cellular stressors during central nervous system development. Effects of mitochondrial complex I inhibition on cell-to-cell contacts have been studied in vascular and intestinal structures; however, its effects on developing neuronal cells are largely unknown. We investigated the effects of the classical mitochondrial stressor and complex I inhibitor, rotenone, on the architecture of neural rosettes-radially organized neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs)-differentiated from human-induced pluripotent stem cells.

The prevalence of co-morbid anxiety and depression varies greatly between research studies, making it difficult to understand and estimate the magnitude of this problem. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to provide up-to-date information on the global prevalence of co-morbid anxiety and depression in pregnant and postpartum women and to further investigate the sources of heterogeneity. Systematic searches of eight electronic databases were conducted for original studies published from inception to December 10, 2024.

Context.—: Primary angiitis of the central nervous system is a rare vasculitis that affects small parenchymal and leptomeningeal vessels in the brain and spinal cord. As brain biopsy remains the gold standard in diagnosis, the diagnostic approach to brain biopsies for vasculitis is well described.

Primary large B-cell lymphoma of immune-privileged sites (IP-LBCL) encompasses a spectrum of relatively rare aggressive B-cell lymphomas, such as primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), primary testicular large B-cell lymphoma (PTL), and primary vitreoretinal large B-cell lymphoma (PVRL). Macroscopically, the development of IPI-LBCL may be associated with the dysfunction of meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) and the perivascular channel system formed by astrocytes. Microscopically, mutation in MYD88 and CD79B genes plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of IP-LBCL.
