The brain is the central controller of reproduction and the menstrual cycle. Reproductive endocrinologists spend their days treating patients with perturbations in reproduction as a result of pituitary diseases and manipulate pituitary hormones to enhance fertility and quality of life. Microscopic neuroanatomical images will allow a better understanding of how a tumor in the pituitary might affect vision, or a mass in the brain might cause amenorrhea. Clinical correlations that are taught every day become much clearer once the anatomical relationships are explored. The objective of this pictorial tour is to elucidate anatomical and clinical relationships while showcasing the neuroanatomy of reproduction.

Quantitative Neuroanatomical measurement on Photogrammetric model: Validation study.
World Neurosurg
December 2024
Unit of Neurosurgery, University Hospital San Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi d'Aragona, University of Salerno, Salerno, Italy; Laboratory of Neuroscience, EBRIS Foundation, Salerno, Italy.
Objective: To scrutinize and compare the accuracy of measurements obtained from photogrammetric models against direct measurements taken on dry skulls, with the aim to verify the feasibility of photogrammetry for quantitative analysis in microsurgical neuroanatomy.
Methods: Two dry human skulls were used. Each was scanned using the dual camera system of a smartphone The selected photos were separately processed two different software to create 3D models.
Interaction between subventricular zone microglia and neural stem cells impacts the neurogenic response in a mouse model of cortical ischemic stroke.

After a stroke, the neurogenic response from the subventricular zone (SVZ) to repair the brain is limited. Microglia, as an integral part of the distinctive SVZ microenvironment, control neural stem / precursor cell (NSPC) behavior. Here, we show that discrete stroke-associated SVZ microglial clusters negatively impact the innate neurogenic response, and we propose a repository of relevant microglia-NSPC ligand-receptor pairs.

Synaptic neoteny of human cortical neurons requires species-specific balancing of SRGAP2-SYNGAP1 cross-inhibition.

Human-specific (HS) genes have been implicated in brain evolution, but their impact on human neuron development and diseases remains unclear. Here, we study SRGAP2B/C, two HS gene duplications of the ancestral synaptic gene SRGAP2A, in human cortical pyramidal neurons (CPNs) xenotransplanted in the mouse cortex. Downregulation of SRGAP2B/C in human CPNs led to strongly accelerated synaptic development, indicating their requirement for the neoteny that distinguishes human synaptogenesis.

Objectives: A deep knowledge of the surgical anatomy of the target area is mandatory for a successful operative procedure. For this purpose, over the years, many teaching and learning methods have been described, from the most ancient cadaveric dissection to the most recent virtual reality, each with their respective pros and cons. Photogrammetry, an emergent technique, allows for the creation of three-dimensional (3D) models and reconstructions.
