Introduction: Scrub typhus is a potentially life-threatening but curable disease that can produce multi-organ failure. Neurological manifestations in scrub typhus have gained attention recently, where the entire neural axis except the myoneural junction can be involved. Although the pathogenesis of neurological involvement has not been established, immune-mediated mechanisms are suspected.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune astrocytopathy against foot processes of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channels. Patients with NMOSD tend to have other coexisting autoimmune/connective tissue diseases. However, AQP-4-antibody-positive NMOSD coexisting with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is rare.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a genetically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease with poorly defined environmental influences. Genomic studies of PD patients have identified disease-relevant monogenic genes, rare variants of significance, and polygenic risk-associated variants. In this study, whole genome sequencing data from 90 young onset Parkinson's disease (YOPD) individuals are analyzed for both monogenic and polygenic risk.

Objective: Bengali, the 6th most spoken language globally with 268 million speakers, demands a culturally appropriate tool for screening any cognitive compromise in this population. Addenbrooke Cognitive Examination-III (ACE-III) is a standardized tool used for screening and/or diagnostic purpose worldwide. The aim of the present study was to adapt and validate ACE-III into Bengali language.

Background: Diabetic striatopathy (DS), coined as a generic term, has been defined as a hyperglycemic condition associated with either one of the two following conditions: chorea/ballism or striatal hyperdensity on computed tomography or striatal hyperintensity on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. This review highlights those "gray areas," which need further exploration to understand better hyperglycemia-induced striatal changes and diverse movement disorder phenotypes associated with these changes.
Results And Discussion: We searched in PubMed and Google Scholar the terms "diabetes mellitus," "movement disorders," "diabetic striatopathy," "chorea," "hemichorea," "ballism," "hemichorea-hemiballism," and "neuroradiology" in various combinations (time range from 1980 to March 2022).

Background: To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, several countries imposed strict lockdown to ensure social distancing to limit the spread of the virus. This caused difficulties in the management and care of patients with various chronic disorders including dementia.
Objectives: The objective of the study was to explore the health condition of patients with dementia and assess their caregivers' burden during the lockdown.

Background: Neurological COVID-19 disease has been reported widely, but published studies often lack information on neurological outcomes and prognostic risk factors. We aimed to describe the spectrum of neurological disease in hospitalised COVID-19 patients; characterise clinical outcomes; and investigate factors associated with a poor outcome.
Methods: We conducted an individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis of hospitalised patients with neurological COVID-19 disease, using standard case definitions.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS), a subset of chronic primary inflammatory demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system, is closely associated with various movement disorders. These disorders may be due to MS pathophysiology or be coincidental. This review describes the full spectrum of movement disorders in MS with their possible mechanistic pathways and therapeutic modalities.

Introduction: Neurological disorders in pregnancy may be observed in patients with a pre-existing neurological disorder; patients developing a primary neurological disorder during the course of pregnancy or puerperium; and in patients with primary medical disorders presenting with neurological manifestations.
Objectives: The objectives of the study were to find out the magnitude of neurological disorders in pregnancy in a tertiary care hospital along with assessment of proportion of women with particular disorders among total number of neurological disorders during the course of pregnancy or puerperium (6 weeks after child birth) and also to elicit the effect of neurological disorders on pregnancy outcome, if any.
Methods: A prospective observational longitudinal study was carried out in a tertiary care centre of Eastern India from July 2018 to June 2020 including all pregnant women attending the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

Background: Genetic factors, including causal gene and modifier genes, contribute significantly in PD pathogenesis in an ethnicity-dependent manner. Dopamine Receptor 4 (DRD4), involved in dopamine metabolism is one such modifier locus for PD.
Objective: To identify the potential association of DRD4 polymorphic variants with PD among Eastern Indians.

Epigenetics, hypothalamic-pituitary axes, environmental and metabolic influences, and transgenerational plasticity govern social behavior. Cognitive research considers the brain's default mode network (DMN) as a central hub that integrates various cognitive and social processing domains responsible for emotion perception, empathy, theory of mind, and morality. Hence, DMN is regarded as the "social brain.

The alien limb is a phenomenon characterized by a cluster of clinical features wherein the limb behaves autonomously and as separated from a person's identity. We herein report a 36-year-old Indian female with multiple comorbidities who presented with recurrent episodes of limb-shaking transient ischemic attacks for 1 year, followed by left-sided hemiplegia. During recovering, the patient noticed a feeling that as if her left hand did not belong to herself and acted autonomously (alien limb phenomenon) along with visuospatial deficits.

Introduction: An ambiguous definition of "asymptomatic" Moyamoya Angiopathy(aMMA) of absence of ischemic/hemorrhagic episodes in MMA patients, has led to its variable adaptation in the limited past-studies.
Objective: To observe the clinic-radiological characteristics and prospective follow-up of apparently "asymptomatic" MMA, and to determine if it is truly asymptomatic or not.
Materials And Methods: An observation, cohort study of 122 angiographically proven MMA over 6 years was undertaken from a single, tertiary-care-center to observe the clinico-radiological characteristics, prospective follow-up of apparently aMMA.
