Transient global cerebral ischemia elicits a nearly total neuronal cell death in the hippocampal CA1 sector, accompanied by a marked microglial and astroglial proliferation. The molecular mechanisms regulating the postischemic glial reaction in the primate brain remain obscure. Here we present in situ evidence that proliferating postischemic microglia in adult monkey CA1 sector express the neurotrophin receptor TrkA, while activated astrocytes were labeled for the TrkA ligand nerve growth factor (NGF) and the tyrosine kinase TrkB, a receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These results implicate NGF and BDNF as regulators of postischemic glial proliferation in adult primate hippocampus.

The stress-induced alterations in cognitive processes and psychiatric disorders can be accelerated when acute stressors challenge the hippocampal functions. To address this issue, we used Western Blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry assays to investigate the impact of acute forced swimming (FS) on the expression of the CB1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1R) in the hippocampus (HC) of the male outbred Roman High- (RHA) and Low-Avoidance (RLA) rat lines, one of the most validated genetic models for the study of behavior related to fear/anxiety and stress-induced depression. The distinct responses to FS confirmed the different behavioral strategies displayed by the two phenotypes when exposed to stressors, with RLA and RHA rats displaying reactive vs.

Article Synopsis
- Neuropathologic studies indicate tau inclusions appear in the brain more than a decade before amyloid-β deposition in Alzheimer's disease (AD), leading to the suggestion of a "primary age-related tauopathy" (PART) theory.
- A study involving 325 brains with tau inclusions but without amyloid deposits confirmed that tau was consistently found in certain areas, particularly in the transentorhinal cortex.
- The results challenge the PART hypothesis, suggesting that the observed cases are actually prodromal Alzheimer's disease rather than a distinct age-related condition.
Advances in MRI-based diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy: Correlating hippocampal subfield volumes with histopathology.

Article Synopsis
- Epilepsy affects about 0.5%-1% of people worldwide, with 30% of those patients not responding to treatment, particularly in cases of temporal lobe epilepsy linked to hippocampal sclerosis (HS).
- HS is classified into three subtypes based on where cell loss and gliosis occur: Type 1 (most common), Type 2, and Type 3, each varying in affected hippocampal areas.
- The study reviews how different MRI techniques, both in vivo and ex vivo, can help correlate observed brain patterns with HS subtypes, finding that certain high-resolution MRIs combined with segmentation methods can effectively diagnose these subtypes, highlighting the need for improved techniques in future research.

Due to its large use in different industrial sectors, high toxicity, and corrosion, the demand for sensing techniques towards ammonia gas has become urgent. In this study we report on the sensing performances of a conductometric sensor for NH gas based on Ca-doped ZnO nanoparticles with different calcium concentrations (0, 1, and 3 at%) synthesized using the sol-gel process under supercritical dry conditions of ethanol. All samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
