AI Article Synopsis
- Perineuronal or neuronal satellitosis is when glial cells are found around nerve cells and can be normal or abnormal in animals and humans.
- The study looked at different bird species to see how common and where neuronal satellitosis appears in their brains.
- They found that it was most common in a part of the brain called the hyperpallium and that songbirds (Passeriformes) had the highest levels of it compared to other birds like raptors and shorebirds.
Article Abstract
Perineuronal or neuronal satellitosis is the term describing the presence of glial cells in the satellite space surrounding the neuronal perikaryon. Confusingly, this finding has been described both as a physiologic and pathologic condition in humans and animals. In animals, neuronal satellitosis has been described in mammals, as well as in avian species. For the latter, the authors wondered whether neuronal satellitosis is expressed in the normal telencephalon of different avian orders and families and whether this pattern in different species shows a specific brain-region association. For these aims, this study explored the presence of neuronal satellitosis in the major areas of the healthy telencephalon in wild and domestic avian species of different orders and families, evaluating its grade in different brain regions. Neuronal satellitosis was seen in the hyperpallium and mesopallium as areas with the highest grade. Passeriformes showed the highest grade of neuronal satellitosis compared to diurnal or nocturnal raptors, and Charadriiformes. To clarify the exact role of neuronal satellitosis in animals without neurological disease, further studies are needed.RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTSNeuronal satellitosis is a common finding in the healthy avian telencephalon.Neuronal satellitosis is a species- and brain-region-associated finding in birds.Passeriformes have the highest grade of neuronal satellitosis.

Article Synopsis
- Study examines the role of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) in GABAergic neurons and its impact on obesity and cognitive function in mice.
- Mice lacking LRP1 in these neurons showed significant memory impairments at 32 weeks old, with decreased performance in various learning and memory tests.
- The study found a correlation between impaired cognitive function and metabolic factors like body weight and serum levels of leptin and insulin, while younger mice (16 weeks) did not show similar differences.
AFB1 induced free radicals cause encephalopathy in goat kids via intrinsic pathway of apoptosis: pathological and immunohistochemical confirmation of non-hepatic neuroaflatoxicosis.

Aflatoxins, particularly AFB1, are the most common feed contaminants worldwide, causing significant economic losses to the livestock sector. The current paper describes an outbreak of aflatoxicosis in a herd of 160 male young goat kids (3-4 months), of which 68 young kids succumbed over a period of 25 days after showing neurological signs of abnormal gait, progressive paralysis and head pressing. The haematobiochemical investigation showed reduced haemoglobin, leucocyte count, PCV level, increased levels of AST, ALT, glucose, BUN, creatinine and reduced level of total protein.

Because of their ability to infiltrate normal brain tissue, gliomas frequently evade microscopic surgical excision. The histologic infiltrative property of human glioma has been previously characterized as Scherer secondary structures, of which the perivascular satellitosis is a prospective target for anti-angiogenic treatment in high-grade gliomas. However, the mechanisms underlying perineuronal satellitosis remain unclear, and therapy remains lacking.

Background: This study aims to investigate the protective effects of glutamine against cerebral injury resulting from cerebral ischemia-reperfusion by bilateral carotid occlusion in rats.
Methods: Eighteen Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into three equal groups: 1) control group; 2) ischemia-reperfusion group which underwent clamping of the carotid artery for 20 min; and 3) ischemiareperfusion + glutamine group which was treated with two doses of glutamine (1 g/kg) prior to the same clamping procedure as the ischemia-reperfusion group. All rats were sacrificed 24 h after the experiment.
