Enriched environment prevents hypobaric hypoxia induced memory impairment and neurodegeneration: role of BDNF/PI3K/GSK3β pathway coupled with CREB activation. by Vishal Jain, Iswar Baitharu, Dipti Prasad, Govindasamy Ilavazhagan

“…Finding of the present study suggested that EE prevents HH mediated memory impairment and neurodegeneration. Also brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a major role in EE mediated neuroprotection and it effectively prevented neurodegeneration by activating PI3K/AKT pathway resulting in GSK3β inactivation which further inhibits apoptosis. …”

Anterior clinoid process metastasis with sudden loss of vision: role of emergency optic nerve decompression by Marta Rico-Pereira, Fernando Muñoz-Hernández

“…Case presentation We report the case of a 41-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of radius leiomyosarcoma, who underwent surgery in 2014, with bone and lung metastases, who had been treated with chemotherapy and appeared to have the disease controlled at his last follow-up. 6 years later, he developed a one month history of progressive unilateral loss of visual acuity and visual field defect (initially quadrantanopia that progressed to nasal hemianopia). Brain imaging showed a contrast-enhancing lesion affecting the left anterior clinoid process with extension to the cavernous sinus and sphenoid sinus, causing compression of the left optic nerve. …”

Therapeutic Implications of a Polymethoxylated Flavone, Tangeretin, in the Management of Cancer via Modulation of Different Molecular Pathways by El-Shaimaa A. Arafa, Noura T. Shurrab, Manal A. Buabeid

“…In addition, tangeretin is known to exhibit considerable selective toxicity to many types of cancer cell proliferation such as ovarian, brain, blood, and skin cancer. Evidence indicates that tangeretin acts through several mechanisms including growth inhibition, induction of apoptosis, autophagy, antiangiogenesis, and estrogenic-like effects. …”

The Importance of Olfaction for Mixed Paternity in Birds by Charlotta Kvarnemo, Alice Anderstedt, Maria Strandh, Donald Blomqvist

“…Limited overlaps between the datasets resulted in 30 matched species for olfactory bulb diameter, 31 for olfactory bulb volume and 15 for olfactory receptor genes. Controlling for brain size (telencephalon), we then correlated olfaction to mating pattern, and found that the bigger the relative olfactory bulb diameter, the lower the proportion of mixed paternity. …”

Effects of Fast Simple Numerical Calculation Training on Neural Systems by Hikaru Takeuchi, Tomomi Nagase, Yasuyuki Taki, Yuko Sassa, Hiroshi Hashizume, Rui Nouchi, Ryuta Kawashima

“…These results provide direct evidence that FSNC training alone can improve performance on processing speed and executive function tasks as well as plasticity of brain structures and perfusion. Our results also indicate that changes in neural systems in the frontopolar areas may underlie these cognitive improvements.…”
