Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques have emerged as a promising non-pharmacological adjunct to neurorehabilitation. Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) exhibit altered cortical excitability, and while CP remains incurable, physiotherapy combined with other interventions is essential for managing motor dysfunction. Although some studies have examined NIBS using various stimulation parameters, there is limited evidence regarding its effects on the lower extremities and optimal administration protocols.

Enriched environment (EE), as a non-pharmacological intervention, has garnered considerable attention for its potential to ameliorate neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). This review delineated the impact of EE on the biological functions associated with NDs, emphasizing its role in enhancing neural plasticity, reducing inflammation, and bolstering cognitive performance. We discussed the molecular underpinnings of the effects of EE, including modulation of key signaling pathways such as extracellular regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), and AMPK/SIRT1, which were implicated in neuroprotection and synaptic plasticity.

Background: Paternal perinatal depression affects 10% of fathers, implying a significant burden on families and public health. A better insight into the population's health literacy could guide professionals and policymakers in addressing these men and making better use of existing healthcare options. It is also crucial for caregivers, as they play a vital role in identifying symptoms, encouraging help-seeking, and reducing stigma.
