Introduction: Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by thunderclap headache and reversible cerebral arteries vasoconstriction. The pathophysiology remains unclear, but many triggers were reported.
Case Reports: We reported two cases of patients with meningitis who developed RCVS confirmed by brain imaging. They presented clinical and CSF features of meningitis that are suspected to be infectious, but no agent was identified. Headache and artery irregularities were resolved with the improvement of CSF.
Conclusion: These cases suggest that in the context of meningitis, modification or atypical headaches should lead to brain imaging to rule out RCVS. We hypothesized that CSF inflammation may trigger cerebral arteries vasoconstriction.

The astroglial glutamate transporter in the hippocampus and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is critically involved in chronic pain-induced cognitive and psychiatric abnormalities. We have previously reported that LDN-212320, a glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1) activator, attenuates complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced acute and chronic nociceptive pain. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying GLT-1 modulation in the hippocampus and ACC during chronic pain-induced cognitive deficit-like and anxiety-like behaviors remain unknown.

Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced chemobrain has been reported in several studies. Its main culprit is the induction of massive amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), hence triggering damage to brain tissues and thus leading to neuroinflammation. Biochanin A (BIO-A) is known to be an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective agent.

Objective: The gut-brain axis (GBA) is involved in the modulation of multiple physiological activities, and the vagus nerve plays an important role in this process. However, the association between vagus nerve function and nutritional regulation remains unclear. Here, we explored changes in the nutritional status of mice after vagotomy and investigated the underlying mechanisms responsible for these changes.

Biomagnetic fluid dynamics (BFD) is an emerging and promising field within fluid mechanics, focusing on the dynamics of bio-fluids like blood in the presence of magnetic fields. This research is crucial in the medical arena for applications such as medication delivery, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, prevention of excessive bleeding, and treatment of malignant tumors using magnetic particles. This study delves into the intricacies of blood flow induced by cilia, carrying trihybrid nanoparticles (gold, copper, and titania), within a catheterized arterial annulus under a robust magnetic field.

Background: The hypothalamus is involved in stress regulation and reward processing, with its various nuclei exhibiting unique functions and connections. However, human neuroimaging studies on the hypothalamic subregions are limited in drug addiction. This study examined the volumes and functional connectivity of hypothalamic subregions in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD).
