The authors carried out studies on 18 nonanesthetised and anesthetised cats under the conditions of complete imobilization with tricuran and under artificial respiration and examined the temporary consequence of the effects on the spontaneous and induced cerebral activity after poisoning with lethal doses of phosdrine and treatment with Doline, which is the therapeutic antidote of phosphorganic pesticides. The authors established that after lethal poisoning with phosdrin the secondary induced cerebral hypoxia enhanced deepening of the disintegration in the intercerebral interrelationships, which caused the appearence of epileptiform activity. The antidote Doline within 1-2 minutes, after its muscular administration abolished effectively the generalized epileptic seizure and repaired quickly the electrophysiological indices-peculiar for the normal EEG.

Progress of human brain in vitro models stands as a keystone in neurological and psychiatric research, addressing the limitations posed by species-specific differences in animal models. The generation of human neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using transcription factor reprogramming protocols has been shown to reduce heterogeneity and improve consistency across different stem cell lines. Despite notable advancements, the current protocols still exhibit several shortcomings.

Purpose Of Review: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent chemicals with many modern applications, leading to widespread contamination and universal human exposure. PFAS exposure during early life is of particular concern, given susceptibility of the developing fetal and infant brain to toxic exposures. This review aims to synthesize current evidence, discuss methodological challenges, and highlight research gaps to guide future studies on the impact of PFAS on neurodevelopment.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a significant brain disease with a high mortality and disability rate. Additional therapies for AIS are urgently needed, and neuroplasticity mechanisms by agents are expected to be neuroprotective for AIS. As a major active component of Salvia miltiorrhiza, salvianolic acid A (SAA) has shown potential for preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Adropin, a peptide hormone encoded by the ENHO gene is expressed in various tissues including the brain. Accumulating evidence from in vivo and in vitro studies highlights adropin's pivotal role in modulating carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Notably, circulating adropin levels are lower in overweight and obese humans and experimental interventions involving adropin overexpression or synthetic administration demonstrate promising outcomes in mitigating obesity-related metabolic abnormalities and preventing weight gain.

In patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and animal models of depression, key pathological hallmarks include activation of microglia as well as atrophy and loss of astrocytes. Under certain pathological conditions, microglia can inflict damage to neurons and astrocytes. However, the precise mechanisms underlying how activated microglia induced astrocyte atrophy and loss remain enigmatic.
