Transient cortical blindness (TCB) is a rare but well-known complication of cerebral angiography. Its pathophysiology remains uncertain. We would like to report a case of TCB in a patient during a follow up vertebral angiogram for post-coil embolization of left posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm. Patient's vision was resumed spontaneously within 24 hours after angiography, with no residual neurological deficit in subsequent clinical follow up. Multi-modality imaging evaluation including vertebral angiography, brain CT and MRI performed on same day are presented.

Cortical spreading depolarization (CSD), a slowly propagating wave of transient cellular depolarization, is a reliable cortical response to various brain insults (stroke, trauma, seizures) and underlying mechanism of migraine aura. Little is known about CSD effects on brain network activity. Using undirected (mutual information, MI) and directed (transfer entropy, TE) measures, we studied the dynamics of cross-hemispheric connectivity associated with the development of unilateral CSD in freely behaving rats and the involvement of inhibitory transmission in mechanisms of the coupling changes.

Our brain adapts to the environment by optimizing its function through experience-dependent cortical plasticity. This plasticity is transiently enhanced during a developmental stage, known as the "critical period," and subsequently maintained at lower levels throughout adulthood. Thus, understanding the mechanism underlying critical period plasticity is crucial for improving brain adaptability across the lifespan.

Aims: Post stroke hyperglycemia has been shown to deter functional recovery. Earlier findings have indicated the cap-dependent translation regulator 4E-BP1 is detrimentally upregulated in hyperglycemic conditions. The present study aims to test the hypothesis that hyperglycemic ischemic reperfusion injury (I/R) affects normal protein translation poststroke.

Waveform transitions have high correlation to spike wave discharges and polyspike wave discharges in seizure dynamics. This research adopts nonlinear dynamics to study the waveform transitions in a cerebral thalamo-coritcal neural network subjected to a square sensory control via discretization and mappings. The continuous non-smooth network outputs are discretized to establish implicit mapping chains or loops for stable and unstable waveform solutions.

Deviations in amplitude and timing of APAs exist in Parkinson's disease (PD), causing dysfunctional postural control which increases the risk of falls. The motor cortex and basal ganglia have been implicated in the regulation of postural control, however, their dynamics during gait initiation, relationship to APA metrics, and response to pharmacotherapy such as levodopa are unknown.
