Immunomediated Encephalitis: New Diagnoses on the Neurology–Psychiatry Interface by Daniel Damiani, Aline Ribeiro de Bem

“…The etiologies behind these diseases are represented by paraneoplastic syndromes (including occult tumors) as well as viral infections, in both cases constituting true immunological triggers with exposure of antigens that will lead to a cross-immunological response directed at healthy structures of the nervous system. In the current review, we present the different clinical scenarios which differ based on antibodies against membrane receptors described so far, emphasizing the relevance of an early diagnosis for a smaller impact on prognosis.…”

Herpes Simplex Virus Latency: The DNA Repair-Centered Pathway by Jay C. Brown

“…The pathway is particularly attractive because it is able to account for important features of the latent response, including the specificity for neurons, the specificity for neurons of the peripheral compared to the central nervous system, the high rate of genetic recombination in HSV1-infected cells, and the genetic identity of infecting and reactivated virus.…”

F-Waves – Physiology and Clinical Uses by Morris A. Fisher

“…If analyzed correctly, current reports would indicate that F-waves are the most sensitive and reliable nerve conduction study for evaluating polyneuropathies, can be abnormal in focal proximal nerve dysfunction, can be at least as sensitive as needle electromyography for defining lumbosacral radiculopathies, and can provide a meaningful physiological window into disorders of the central nervous system. Reports supporting these statements and their clinical relevance are discussed.…”

Reconciling Homeostatic and Use-Dependent Plasticity in the Context of Somatosensory Deprivation by John J. Orczyk, Preston E. Garraghty

“…However, there is less certainty regarding the in vivo contribution of homeostatic mechanisms as in vitro experiments rely on manipulations that create states that do not normally occur in the living nervous system. Homeostatic plasticity seems to occur, but more in vivo research is needed to determine mechanisms. …”

Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma with Calf Muscle Localization by Laura Bourdeanu, Rashmi Menon, George Somlo

“…Although diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) usually occurs in the lymph nodes, approximately 30–40% of the time it can have an extranodal site of involvement and it can arise in nearly every body site such as intestine, bone, breast, liver, skin, lung, and central nervous system. Muscle involvement of DLBCL is especially uncommon, comprising 0.5% of extranodal NHL. …”

NGF, Brain and Behavioral Plasticity by Alessandra Berry, Erika Bindocci, Enrico Alleva

“…However, the successive finding of its release in the bloodstream of male mice following aggressive encounters and its presence in the central nervous system led to the hypothesis that variations in brain NGF levels, caused by psychosocial stressor, and the related alterations in emotionality, could be functional to the development of proper strategies to cope with the stressor itself and thus to survive. …”
