A 68-year-old man with intermittent blepharospasm complained of pain and induration after undergoing differential ablation of the seventh nerve. Because radiation therapy was ineffective, we inserted a 5-mm silicone tube into a serous cyst in the parotid gland. The induration subsided and the patient's recovery was uneventful.

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation attenuates stroke-heart syndrome: The role of parasympathetic activity.
Exp Neurol

Stroke induces cardiac dysfunction, which increases poststroke mortality and morbidity. An imbalance in the autonomic nervous system resulting from brain injury may serve as the underlying mechanism. The present study investigated whether transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) attenuates poststroke cardiac dysfunction by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.

Facial nerve palsy (FNP) may arise from multiple etiological reasons, including anatomical anomalies, circulatory complications, and infectious agents. This case series underscores the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach to identify the precise etiology, including structural abnormalities, vascular anomalies, or infectious illnesses. Here, we present three distinct occurrences of FNP, emphasizing the varied diagnostic difficulties and therapeutic strategies.

Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA.
Background: Regarding the newly diagnosed vestibular schwannomas (VSs), active surveillance, microsurgical resection (MS), and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are the leading treatment options. Although SRS is an effective intervention with a low incidence of complications, failure may occur occasionally. Several options, including repeat SRS, are considered salvage treatment after failure of the SRS.

Multi-electrode arrays covering several square millimeters of neural tissue provide simultaneous access to population signals such as extracellular potentials and spiking activity of one hundred or more individual neurons. The interpretation of the recorded data calls for multiscale computational models with corresponding spatial dimensions and signal predictions. Multi-layer spiking neuron network models of local cortical circuits covering about $1\,{\text{mm}^{2}}$ have been developed, integrating experimentally obtained neuron-type-specific connectivity data and reproducing features of observed in-vivo spiking statistics.
