Twitter is a free, open access social media platform that is widely used in medicine by physicians, scientists, and patients. It provides an opportunity for advocacy, education, and collaboration. However, it is likely not utilized to its full advantage by many disciplines in medicine, and pitfalls exist in its use. In particular, there has not been a review of Twitter use and its applications in the field of neurology. This review seeks to provide an understanding of the current use of Twitter in the field of neurology to assist neurologists in engaging with this potentially powerful application to support their work.

Transcriptionally downregulated GABAergic genes associated with synaptic density network dysfunction in temporal lobe epilepsy.
Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging
January 2025
Department of Nuclear Medicine, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, 410008, P.R. China.
Purpose: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a brain network disorder closely associated with synaptic loss and has a genetic basis. However, the in vivo whole-brain synaptic changes at the network-level and the underlying gene expression patterns in patients with TLE remain unclear.
Methods: In this study, we utilized a positron emission tomography with the synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2 A radioligand [F]SynVesT-1 cohort and two independent transcriptome datasets to investigate the topological properties of the synaptic density similarity network (SDSN) in TLE and its correlation with significantly dysregulated risk genes.
Research progress in neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury: a bibliometric study from 2013 to 2024.
Front Neurol
December 2024
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, Guangxi, China.
Background: The incidence of neuropathic pain (NP) after spinal cord injury (SCI) is quite high. This pain is clinically challenging to treat and has an debilitating effect on patients. In recent years, NP is a popular topic of research and a number of relevant articles have been published in academic journals.

Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging; Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience, University of Oxford.
Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) results in visual field deficits on the contralateral side of the world corresponding to the damaged region. Patients with such loss nonetheless show varying residual vision within this apparently blind region, with the neural mechanisms underlying this ability obscured by small study populations. We identified lesions on structural scans from 39 patients (12 female) with hemianopia and occipital lobe damage.

October 2024
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO, USA.
Objective: To better understand the clinical phenotype of Ménière's disease (MD), we examined family history, thyroid disorder, migraine, and associated disorders in complaints of people living with MD.
Method: We designed the study as a retrospective and examined data gathered from 912 participants with MD. Their data were originally collected by the Finnish Ménière Federation (FMF).
Clinical 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging: Impact and patient value in neurological disorders.
J Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Neuroradiology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a cornerstone of non-invasive diagnostics and treatment monitoring, particularly for diseases of the central nervous system. Although 1.5- and 3 Tesla (T) field strengths remain the clinical standard, the advent of 7 T MRI represents a transformative step forward, offering superior spatial resolution, contrast, and sensitivity for visualizing neuroanatomy, metabolism, and function.
