Inherited Paediatric Motor Neuron Disorders: Beyond Spinal Muscular Atrophy by Hooi Ling Teoh, Kate Carey, Hugo Sampaio, David Mowat, Tony Roscioli, Michelle Farrar

“…Paediatric motor neuron diseases encompass a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterised by the onset of muscle weakness and atrophy before the age of 18 years, attributable to motor neuron loss across various neuronal networks in the brain and spinal cord. While the genetic underpinnings are diverse, advances in next generation sequencing have transformed diagnostic paradigms. …”

An Emerging New Paradigm in Opioid Withdrawal: A Critical Role for Glia-Neuron Signaling in the Periaqueductal Gray by Handong Ouyang, Shue Liu, Weian Zeng, Roy C. Levitt, Keith A. Candiotti, Shuanglin Hao

“…., semisynthetic derivatives of opium and other molecules that activate opioid receptors) induces dependence, which is associated with various specific behavioral and somatic signs after their withdrawal or after the administration of an opioid antagonist. Among the brain regions implicated in opiate dependence and withdrawal, the periaqueductal gray area (PAG) appears to be critical in regulating the complex signs and symptoms of opioid withdrawal. …”

Effect of Glycine on Lead Mobilization, Lead-Induced Oxidative Stress, and Hepatic Toxicity in Rats by Yolanda Alcaraz-Contreras, Lourdes Garza-Ocañas, Katya Carcaño-Díaz, Xóchitl Sofía Ramírez-Gómez

“…The effect of these treatments on parameters indicative of oxidative stress (glutathione and malondialdehyde levels), the activity of blood 𝛿-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase, and lead concentration in blood, liver, kidney, brain, and bone were investigated. Liver samples were observed for histopathological changes. …”

The effect of infra low frequency–neurofeedback training on pistol shooting performance and attention in semi-skilled players by Safoura Bakhtafrooz, Maryam Kavyani, Alireza Farsi, Saeed Alboghebeish

“…PurposeNeurofeedback (NF) typically involves an operant conditioning or other reinforcement protocol aimed at self-regulating patterns of brain activation. Endogenous Neuromodulation, characterized by the absence of discrete reinforcers, has emerged over the last two decades with the extension of training into the infra-low frequency regime, i.e., below 0.1 Hz. …”
