The negative impact of repeated-mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) is profoundly seen in circadian-disrupted individuals. The unrelenting inflammation, glial activation, and gut dysbiosis are key neuropathological aberrations in the aftermath of rmTBI. In this study, we examined the impact of chitosan lactate (CL) on circadian disturbance (CD) + rmTBI-generated neurological dysfunctions and its prebiotic response on the gut-brain axis.

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death driven by oxidative stress, plays a crucial role in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aging diminishes antioxidant systems that maintain iron homeostasis, particularly affecting the glutathione peroxidase (GPX) system, leading to increased ferroptosis and exacerbated neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation in AD. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key transcription factor regulating genes involved in antioxidant defense and ferroptosis.

Background: Anti-amyloid-β (Aβ) immunotherapy trials have shown amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) as the most common and serious adverse events linked to pathological changes in cerebral vasculature. Nevertheless, the mechanisms underlying how amyloid immunotherapy triggers vascular damage, increases vascular permeability, and results in microhemorrhages remains unclear. Notably, activation of perivascular macrophages and infiltration of peripheral immune cells have been implicated in regulating cerebrovascular damage.

Background: Abnormal brain inflammation is an important feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Central nervous system (CNS) inflammation is highly related to immune cell activation. Homeostasis of immune cell activity regulation is crucial for CNS autoimmune response.

Characteristics of Cognitive Event-Related Potential Components and N170 Source Analysis in Patients with Acute Cerebellar Infarction.

Cerebellum

January 2025

Department of Neurology, Kailuan General Hospital, No. 57 Xinhua East Road, Lubei District, Tangshan City, 063000, Hebei Province, China.

This study aims to evaluate cognitive impairments in patients with acute cerebellar infarction using event-related potentials (ERP) and electrophysiological source imaging (ESI). Thirty patients with acute cerebellar infarction and 32 healthy volunteers were selected. Cognitive potentials were recorded and measured using a visual Oddball paradigm.
