Value of Perfusion CT, Transcranial Doppler Sonography, and Neurological Examination to Detect Delayed Vasospasm after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage by Ekkehard Kunze, Mirko Pham, Furat Raslan, Christian Stetter, Jin-Yul Lee, Laszlo Solymosi, Ralf-Ingo Ernestus, Giles Hamilton Vince, Thomas Westermaier

“…If detected in time, delayed cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may be treated by balloon angioplasty or chemical vasospasmolysis in order to enhance cerebral blood flow (CBF) and protect the brain from ischemic damage. This study was conceived to compare the diagnostic accuracy of detailed neurological examination, Transcranial Doppler Sonography (TCD), and Perfusion-CT (PCT) to detect angiographic vasospasm. …”

Gut microbiota and Parkinson’s disease by Lin Wang, Ying Cui, Bingyu Han, Yitong Du, Kenish Sirajbhai Salewala, Shiya Wang, Wenlu Zhao, Hongxin Zhang, Sichen Wang, Xinran Xu, Jianpeng Ma, Yan Zhu, Houzhen Tuo, Ting Gao

“…Emerging evidence suggests that dysbiosis of the gut microbiota is associated with the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD), a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. The microbiota–gut–brain axis plays a crucial role in the development and progression of PD, and numerous studies have demonstrated the potential therapeutic benefits of modulations in the intestinal microbiota. …”

Maturation of the GABAergic Transmission in Normal and Pathologic Motoneurons by Anne-Emilie Allain, Hervé Le Corronc, Alain Delpy, William Cazenave, Pierre Meyrand, Pascal Legendre, Pascal Branchereau

“…γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) acting on Cl−-permeable ionotropic type A (GABAA) receptors (GABAAR) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the adult central nervous system of vertebrates. In immature brain structures, GABA exerts depolarizing effects mostly contributing to the expression of spontaneous activities that are instructive for the construction of neural networks but GABA also acts as a potent trophic factor. …”
