Dementia is a chronic loss of neurocognitive function that is progressive and irreversible. Although rare, dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) could present with a rapid decline in neurocognitive function with or without Parkinson-like symptoms. DAVFs represent a potentially treatable and reversible cause of dementia. Here, we report the case of an elderly woman diagnosed with a DAVF after presenting with new-onset seizures, deteriorating neurocognitive function, and Parkinson-like symptoms.

Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) is a common complication affecting the central nervous system, commonly induced by anesthesia and surgical procedures. PND has garnered considerable attention in recent years, not only due to its high morbidity but also its negative impact on patient prognosis, such as increased rates of dementia and mortality. Sevoflurane, a common volatile anesthetic in clinical practice, is increasingly linked to being a potential risk factor for PND with prolonged inhalation, yet effective prevention and treatment methods remain elusive.

Mathematics learning disorders (MD) and reading learning disorders (RD) are persistent conditions that interfere with success in academic and daily-life tasks, and cannot be attributed to intellectual disabilities, sensory deficits, or environmental factors. Prevalence rates of MD and RD are estimated at 5-10 % of school-age children, and their comorbidity (MDRD) is highly prevalent, with around 40 % of children with MD also experiencing RD. Despite this high comorbidity rate, research on MDRD has received less attention compared to isolated conditions, leaving its neurocognitive mechanisms unclear.

Background: Aging is a complex biological process that disrupts tissue structure and impairs physiological function, which contributes to the development of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disorders. However, effective treatment strategies are lacking.
Objective: To investigate the geroprotective effects of Lycium barbarum glycopeptide (LbGp) and its potential mechanisms in a D-galactose-induced accelerated aging mouse model.
Background: Perioperative Neurocognitive Disorders (PND) are associated withanesthesia and surgery, especially in the elderly. Astrocyte activation in old mice correlates with PND development. These cells can switch to a pro-inflammatory or an anti-inflammatory phenotype, regulated by the STAT3 pathway.

HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) and viral reservoirs in the brain remain a significant challenge. Despite their importance, the mechanisms allowing HIV-1 entry and replication in the central nervous system (CNS) are poorly understood. Here, we show that α-synuclein and (to a lesser extent) Aβ fibrils associated with neurological diseases enhance HIV-1 entry and replication in human T cells, macrophages, and microglia.
