Neural circuits provide an anatomical basis for functional networks. Therefore, dissecting the structure of neural circuits is an indispensable prerequisite to understanding how the brain functions. Knowing how the neural circuits organize and function under physiological conditions and their progressive alterations under pathophysiological conditions are key to understanding the underlying circuit mechanism of diseases, thus finding cures for the diseases.

A potential parsimonious explanation for this apparent contradiction could be that different conditions incur differential rates and directional biases in tau transmission along fiber tracts. In this meta-analysis we closely examined this hypothesis and quantitatively tested it using spatiotemporal tau pathology patterns from 11 distinct models across 4 experimental studies.

Background: Central poststroke pain (CPSP) is one of the primary sequelae following stroke, yet its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood.
Methods: By lesioning the lateral thalamic nuclei, we first established a CPSP model that exhibits mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity. Innocuous mechanical stimuli following the thalamic lesion evoked robust neural activation in somatosensory corticospinal neurons (CSNs), as well as in the deep dorsal horn, where low threshold mechanosensory afferents terminate.

Recent advances in neural tracing have unveiled numerous neural circuits characterized by brain region and cell type specificity, illuminating the underpinnings of specific functions and behaviors. Dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the midbrain are highly heterogeneous in terms of gene and protein expression and axonal projections. Different cell types within the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) tend to project to the striatum in a cell-type-dependent manner characterized by specific topography.

Background And Objectives: We aimed to assess the presence of retinal neurodegeneration independent of optic neuritis (ON) in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) and to investigate the development of trans-synaptic anterograde degeneration in these patients after ON.
Methods: Cross-sectional, retrospective study of 34 adult patients with MOGAD and 23 healthy controls (HC). Clinical, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and MRI data were collected.
