Cerebral microbleeds (CMB) represent a feature of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), a prominent vascular contributor to age-related cognitive decline, dementia, and stroke. They are visible as spherical hypointense signals on T2*- or susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences. An increasing number of automated CMB detection methods being proposed are based on supervised deep learning (DL).

In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), early mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to progressive motor neuron loss. Remarkably, the ectopic expression of the Orthobornavirus bornaense type 1 (BoDV-1) X protein in mitochondria blocks apoptosis and protects neurons from degeneration. Therefore, this study examines the neuroprotective effects of X protein in an ALS mouse model.

Background/objectives: Alzheimer's disease (AD), a leading cause of dementia, lacks effective long-term treatments. Current therapies offer temporary relief or fail to halt its progression and are often inaccessible due to cost. AD involves multiple pathological processes, including amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition, insulin resistance, tau protein hyperphosphorylation, and systemic inflammation accelerated by gut microbiota dysbiosis originating from a leaky gut.

Neuron-glia interactions are fundamental to the development and function of the nervous system. During development, glia, including astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes, influence neuronal differentiation and migration, synapse formation and refinement, and myelination. In the mature brain, glia are crucial for maintaining neural homeostasis, modulating synaptic activity, and supporting metabolic functions.

Up to 10% have no identifiable cause, with fourth ventricle outflow obstruction (FVOO) being an extremely rare subtype. A 31-year-old male with a history of idiopathic hydrocephalus for over 10 years with the need for a ventriculoperitoneal shunt had shown progressively enlarged tetraventricular ventriculomegaly.
