The retina is one of the best-characterized regions of the central nervous system (CNS) and has served as a model for many of the principles that now form the foundation for CNS development. In the past several years, a number of advances have been made in our understanding of the coordination of proliferation and cell fate specification during retinal development. In this review, we will draw on findings from studies of the retina and highlight similarities and differences in other regions in the CNS, namely the cerebellum and cortex. We will present a framework in which to pose challenges and outstanding questions for future studies on the coordination of proliferation and cell fate specification in the developing CNS.

Clinical severity grading of NF2-related schwannomatosis.
Orphanet J Rare Dis
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Helios Klinikum Erfurt, Erfurt, Germany.
Background: NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2) is associated with various tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system. There is a wide range of disabilities these patients may suffer from and there is no validated clinical classification for disease severity. We propose a clinical classification consisting of three severity grades to assist in patient management.

Background: A lung cancer diagnosis has a huge impact on the psychological well-being of both patients and family caregivers. However, the current psychological stress status among dyads remains unclear. We aimed to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression and identify the factors that influence patients with lung cancer and their caregivers.

BMC Pediatr
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Fayoum University, Fayoum, Egypt.
Background: Pediatric CNS infections have been identified as a global health problem, associated with an increased death rate and fatal consequences. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an acute-phase mediator that increases in body fluids and plasma throughout inflammation. Our study was designed to assess the diagnostic and prognostic value of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) PTX3 levels in pediatric patients with different central nervous system (CNS) infections.

Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging
January 2025
Division of Oncology, Department of Medicine I, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
This joint practice guideline/procedure standard was collaboratively developed by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM), the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO), and the PET task force of the Response Assessment in Neurooncology Working Group (PET/RANO). Brain metastases are the most common malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors. PET imaging with radiolabeled amino acids and to lesser extent [F]FDG has gained considerable importance in the assessment of brain metastases, especially for the differential diagnosis between recurrent metastases and treatment-related changes which remains a limitation using conventional MRI.

Prior research has shown that music-supported therapy (MST) has the ability to enhance mood and cognitive performance through stimulation of the central nervous system. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of rigorous systematic assessments of the effectiveness of MST in improving mood and cognitive impairments in stroke patients, as well as the impact of these benefits on their overall quality of life.
