Cortical superficial siderosis (cSS), also referred to as sulcal siderosis, is a neurological condition characterized by hemosiderin subpial deposits in the cortical sulci over the convexities of cerebral hemispheres. These deposits are further found sparingly in the spinal cord, brainstem, and cerebellum. Patients typically present with transient focal neurological symptoms that make cSS challenging to differentiate from other acute neurological processes such as transient ischemic attacks (TIA), focal seizures, and acute convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH). This condition is presently recognized as a characteristic feature of the age-associated disorder referred to as cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). This paper describes a patient who presented with transient neurologic symptoms, first suspected to be secondary to acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), found to have cSS and cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

Preferential superficial cortical layer activation during seizure propagation.

Objective: Focal cortical seizures travel long distances from the onset zone, but the long-distance propagation pathways are uncertain. In vitro and in vivo imaging techniques have investigated the local spread of seizures but did not elucidate long-distance spread. Furthermore, classical studies in slices suggested seizure spread locally along deep cortical layers, whereas more recent in vivo imaging studies posit a role for superficial cortical layers in local spread.

Multinodular and Vacuolating Neuronal Tumors of the cerebrum (MVNTs) are rare, seizure-related, low-grade tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS) which usually affect young adults. First described by Huse et al. in 2013, these neoplasms are usually located within the deep cortical ribbon and the superficial white matter and have a characteristic cytoarchitecture of cells with neuronal and glial differentiation that form multiple nodules with conspicuous vacuolation.

Article Synopsis
- A 67-year-old woman was admitted for right-sided weakness, shaking, lethargy, and loss of appetite after completing treatment for a diabetic foot infection.
- MRI results revealed changes in the deep white matter of her brain, potentially indicating an ischemic stroke, alongside symptoms of verbal dysfluency and visual disturbances.
- After a decline in her condition and a drop in blood counts, she was diagnosed with Linezolid-induced Acute Toxic Leukoencephalopathy and thrombocytopenia based on her clinical presentation and imaging.

During cortical development, the differentiation potential of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) is one of the most critical steps in normal cortical formation and function. Defects in this process can lead to many brain disorders. MicroRNA dysregulation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is associated with risk for a variety of developmental and psychiatric conditions.

Rheumatoid meningitis (RM) presents with sufficiently wide-ranging, but non-specific, symptoms and neuroimaging features of pachy- and/or leptomeningeal thickening that it may be indistinguishable from subacute infectious meningitis. RA diagnosis variably antedates RM and serological confirmation by rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies may not be present preoperatively. Thus, meningeal biopsy may be undertaken.
