A 48-year-old woman presented with simultaneous aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and remote intracerebral hemorrhage manifesting as sudden onset of severe headache, left hemiparesis, and diplopia. Emergent computed tomography revealed localized SAH in the interpeduncular cistern, and a remote brainstem hematoma in the right dorsolateral tegment. Neuroimaging found no signs of vascular anomaly in the brainstem. The aneurysm at the basilar artery and superior cerebellar artery bifurcation was successfully embolized using coils. Her postoperative neurological status was improved except for slight diplopia. The causes of this extremely rare case of simultaneous occurrence of aneurysmal SAH and remote brainstem hematoma in the dorsolateral tegment remain obscure.

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is predominantly located in synapses of neurons and its mutations have been well recognized as the most important genetic causal factor for the familial Alzheimer's disease (AD). While most disease-causal mutations of APP occur within the Aβ-coding region or immediately proximal, the pathological impacts of mutations in the N-terminus of APP protein, which remote from the Aβ sequence, on neuron and synapse are still largely unknown. It was recently reported a pathogenic APP N-terminal Val225Ala mutation (APP) with clinically featuring progressive dementia and typical AD pathologies in brain.

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is frequently observed in hospitalized patients in intensive care units, often caused by renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). IRI disrupts the function of various 'remote organs' such as the lungs, pancreas, intestine, liver, heart, and brain through inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, leukocyte infiltration, and increased urea and creatinine levels. Gender differences in renal IRI-induced injury are noted.

Article Synopsis
- Growing research is focusing on the cerebellum in relation to brain injuries, both targeted (focal) and widespread (diffuse), affecting the cerebral cortex.
- Studies in adults show that brain injuries lead to the loss of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum and activation of immune cells called microglia, a phenomenon known as "diaschisis."
- When similar injuries occur in developing brains, they may cause neurodegeneration in the cerebellum, leading to severe long-term effects due to both diaschisis and interruptions in normal brain development.

Article Synopsis
- A previous study found a specific brain network linked to cervical dystonia (CD), pointing out its potential for treatment, especially with non-invasive techniques like repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).
- The study aimed to evaluate how stimulating the somatosensory cortex (S1) affects brain metabolism in CD patients versus healthy controls, using methods like [F]FDG-PET to measure changes.
- Results showed that cTBS significantly increased metabolism in the S1 and brainstem of CD patients, suggesting abnormal sensory function in CD and supporting future therapeutic trials using this stimulation method.

Cochlear tuning and hence auditory frequency selectivity are thought to change in noisy environments by activation of the medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR). In humans, auditory frequency selectivity is often assessed using psychoacoustical tuning curves (PTCs), a plot of the level required for pure-tone maskers to just mask a fixed-level pure-tone probe as a function of masker frequency. Sometimes, however, the stimuli used to measure a PTC are long enough that they can activate the MOCR by themselves and thus affect the PTC.
