Time-related ageing of the organism brings about the limitations to all human beings. The ageing process pertains to all organs and neither does it spare the brain, although, apart from neurodegenerative diseases, the changes in brain's functions seem to be less detectable. Many studies that were conducted for years in ageing adults provide evidence that lifestyle in which psychic and physical activity is maintained significantly and positively affects brain plasticity, i.e., normal ability to learn and develop, and therefore this lifestyle serves as a protective agent for cognitive functions even in the case of degenerative changes of brain tissue.

50 Years of the Glasgow Coma Scale: A historical perspective.
J Clin Neurosci
January 2025
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, The University of Adelaide, Australia.
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was first published in The Lancet by Sir Graham Teasdale and Bryan Jennett 50 years ago based on their pioneering work on developing a numerical scale to describe coma in clear and reproducible terms and to avoid the confusion associated with the wide variety of descriptive terms for consciousness that were in use at the time. It's difficult to know if Teasdale and Jennett could have predicted how influential, widespread and long-lasting the GCS would become, but in retrospect it seems clear that the GCS was introduced at a perfect stage in the development of modern clinical neurosurgery and neuroscience research. The simplicity of the scale, its recognition by senior academics and the emerging radiology technologies in the 1970s heralded a new era of neuroscience and an approach to the management of not only traumatic brain injury (TBI) but other types of central nervous system disease in which consciousness was affected, such as aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and stroke.

Purpose: There is no consensus on whether cognitive measures among attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) subtypes exhibit more similarities or differences, and most of them have been conducted on English-speaking subjects, lacking cross-cultural perspectives. The present study was aimed at investigating the intelligence structures of school-age children with ADHD who speak Chinese, using a multicenter and large sample size approach, offering some references for clinicians.
Patients And Methods: 772 children aged 6 to 12 years with ADHD took part in the cross-sectional study.
Rational engineering of minimally immunogenic nucleases for gene therapy.

Genome editing using CRISPR-Cas systems is a promising avenue for the treatment of genetic diseases. However, cellular and humoral immunogenicity of genome editing tools, which originate from bacteria, complicates their clinical use. Here we report reduced immunogenicity (Red)(i)-variants of two clinically relevant nucleases, SaCas9 and AsCas12a.

Article Synopsis
- Amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) is a tool for continuous monitoring of brain function in preterm infants and may help predict their neurodevelopmental outcomes.
- A systematic review of 19 studies involving 2074 preterm neonates showed that specific aEEG patterns, such as burst suppression and low voltage backgrounds, are linked to poorer outcomes, while normal backgrounds predict better development.
- Early monitoring of aEEG, particularly within the first week of life, is crucial for accurately assessing the neurodevelopmental prognosis of preterm infants.
