We analyzed delayed effect of intranasal administration of anti-glutamate antibodies on mnestic function and tissue concentrations of neurotransmitters in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex in aging C57BL/6 mice. It was found that after 14-day administration of anti-glutamate antibodies, improvement of the passive avoidance conditioning persisted for 7 days after the treatment was discontinued. In 7 days after discontinuation of treatment, increased content of dopamine and its metabolites as well as aspartic acid and taurine was observed in the hippocampus of mice treated with anti-glutamate antibodies. In the prefrontal cortex, administration of anti-glutamate antibodies had no effect on the levels of neurotransmitters, but increased the concentration of glutamate.

Department of Pediatrics, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, People's Republic of China.
Background: Anti-glutamate kainate receptor subunit 2 (anti-GluK2) antibodies mediated encephalitis is very rare in both children and adults. This study aimed to describe the second report of the anti-GluK2 encephalitis worldwide, the first youngest patient worldwide, and the first case ever in Asia. Besides, this study provides a summary of the clinical manifestations of all previous reported cases.

Article Synopsis
- Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is a serious autoimmune brain disorder mainly affecting young females, causing various neuropsychiatric symptoms like seizures and psychosis.
- A 16-year-old Iranian girl experienced a rare relapse of this condition 8 years after her initial diagnosis, presenting with speech and reading difficulties, confirmed by specific antibodies in her body fluids.
- She fully recovered after treatment with immunotherapy and plasmapheresis, highlighting the need for long-term monitoring of patients due to the possibility of late relapses.

A 65-year-old woman presented with fever and abnormal behavior. Magnetic resonance imaging showed swelling of the left medial temporal lobe and an intracranial extra-axial occipital tumor. While her neurological symptoms improved after the administration of corticosteroid therapy under the suspicion of autoimmune encephalitis, the occipital tumor unexpectedly shrank, and the diagnosis of a solitary plasmacytoma was confirmed by biopsy.

Background: Glutamatergic function abnormalities have been implicated in the etiology of treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS), and the efficacy of clozapine may be attributed to its impact on the glutamate system. Recently, evidence has emerged suggesting the involvement of immune processes and increased prevalence of antineuronal antibodies in TRS. This current study aimed to investigate the levels of multiple anti-glutamate receptor antibodies in TRS and explore the effects of clozapine on these antibody levels.

Article Synopsis
- - Autoimmune cerebellar ataxia is a brain disorder affecting the cerebellum, caused by an immune response that mistakenly targets the brain, which can arise from various triggers like gluten and certain cancers.
- - A primary factor in this condition is the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), allowing harmful antibodies and immune cells to enter the cerebellum, making it more vulnerable to damage.
- - The review explores how different types of autoimmune cerebellar ataxia disrupt the BBB and highlights new findings on how specific antibodies, such as GRP 78, may lead to this disruption and result in cerebellar ataxia.
