Aim: To describe the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of asphyxiated neonates treated with hypothermia in association with neonatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.
Methods: We evaluated, retrospectively, clinical and radiological single-centre data at 0, 2, and 5 years of age of 53 asphyxiated neonates born between 2005 and 2015. Neonatal cranial MRI was re-evaluated using the Weeke score ranging from 0 (normal finding) to 55 (cerebral devastation) by a single neuroradiologist blinded to patient outcomes.

Anti-NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor encephalitis (ANRE) is a rare autoimmune condition targeting brain receptors, often linked to ovarian tumors in young women. In severe cases, it can lead to status epilepticus, but in sporadic cases, it may progress to super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE), a dangerous state of continuous or repetitive seizures demanding urgent medical attention that continues or recurs more than 24 hours after the initiation of anesthetic therapy. We present a case report of anti-NMDA receptor limbic encephalitis-triggered SRSE terminated with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and titrated to high stimulation parameters in the immediate postoperative period.

Bacterial meningitis is a severe and life-threatening infection of the central nervous system (CNS), primarily caused by and . This condition carries a high risk of mortality and severe neurological sequelae, such as cognitive impairment and epilepsy. Pain, a central feature of meningitis, results from the activation of nociceptor sensory neurons by inflammatory mediators or bacterial toxins.

Objective: Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a severe neurodegenerative disease characterized by tangles of hyperphosphorylated tau protein and tufted astrocytes. Developing treatments for PSP is challenging due to the lack of disease models reproducing its key pathological features. This study aimed to model sporadic PSP-Richardson's syndrome (PSP-RS) using multi-donor midbrain organoids (MOs).

Background: Acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) is clinically characterized by biphasic seizures associated with mild to severe neurological sequelae and is the most common subtype of acute encephalopathy in Japan, accounting for around 30 % of cases. The present study retrospectively analyzed the utility of electroencephalography (EEG) in determining the optimal method of diagnosing AESD at the early stage.
Methods: This study explores early power value differences to differentiate acute encephalopathy from prolonged febrile seizure (FS).
