Cerebellar malfunctions significantly impact the regulation of the sleep-wakefulness transition. The possible mechanism for this effect is still unknown. Evidence on the role of cerebellar processing in the sleep-wake cycle is derived mainly from animal studies, and clinical management of the sleep-wake cycle is also challenging. The purpose of this review is to investigate the role of cerebellar activity during normal sleep and the association between cerebellar dysfunction and sleep disorders. Large-scale, multicenter trials are still needed to confirm these findings and provide early identification and intervention strategies to improve cerebellar function and the sleep quality of patients.

Microglia are crucial for brain development and their function can be impacted by postnatal insults, such as early-life allergies. These are characterized by an upregulation of interleukin (IL)-4 levels. Allergies share a strong comorbidity with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The diagnosis of schizophrenia is associated with a complex psychopathology related to disrupted brain circuitry causing a failure in coordinating information across brain sites with no consensus regarding the mechanisms. Although schizophrenia is well-studied, the great majority of studies investigated pre-selected ROIs or Seed-based connectivity. Whole brain ROI-wise studies that consider all ROIs available simultaneously are lacking.

Therefore, studying the effect of cerebrovascular atherosclerotic pathology on mood and cognition should not be limited to stenotic dysfunctions of carotid arteries, but also extend its methodological framework to the consideration of the integrity of vertebrobasilar system (VBS), cerebellar perfusion and posterior cerebral circulation in general, as it has not been yet sufficiently addressed whether VBS insufficiency is associated with deterioration of patients' mental and emotional status and quality of life (QoL). Vertebrobasilar circulatory dysfunction has been pointed out, since decades, as a cause of progressive memory impairment and dementia, due to multiple infarcts in cerebral areas which are topographically critical for mental and emotional functions.

Background And Objective: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion is typically performed with an external ventricular drain (EVD) for symptomatic hydrocephalus (HCP) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Lumbar drain (LD) has also been studied to reduce the incidence of vasospasm after SAH but not HCP. We performed a single center retrospective analysis to evaluate the safety of LD versus EVD for symptomatic HCP following aneurysmal SAH in a naturally randomized patient population.

Article Synopsis
- Prenatal alcohol exposure affects an estimated 2-5% of live births, leading to fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), which includes motor and cognitive deficits linked to specific brain regions like the cerebellum and cerebral cortex.
- Damage to the developing cerebellum can disrupt connections between cerebellar and cerebral circuits, resulting in cognitive issues such as problems with attention, memory, and social skills.
- Proposed therapies focus on repairing these disrupted cerebello-cerebral connections, emphasizing anti-inflammatory approaches and strategies to improve cerebellar myelination for better brain function.
