Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Presenting with Streptococcus intermedius Cerebral Abscess by Rabih Nayfe, Mustafa S. Ascha, Esther H. Rehmus

“…Cerebral abscess is caused by inoculation of an organism into the brain parenchyma from a site distant from the central nervous system. Streptococcus intermedius (S. intermedius) is a commensal organism that is normally present in the aerodigestive tract and was reported to be the cause of brain abscesses after esophageal dilatation or upper endoscopy. …”

Role of MicroRNA in Governing Synaptic Plasticity by Yuqin Ye, Hongyu Xu, Xinhong Su, Xiaosheng He

“…Recently, it is well acknowledged that miRNA exerts widespread regulation over the translation and degradation of target gene in nervous system. Increasing evidence suggests that quite a few specific miRNAs play important roles in various respects of synaptic plasticity including synaptogenesis, synaptic morphology alteration, and synaptic function modification. …”

Generating neurons in the embryonic and adult brain: compared principles and mechanisms by Chouly, Mathilde, Bally-Cuif, Laure

“…Neurogenesis is a lifelong process, generating neurons in the right amount, time and place and with the correct identity to permit the growth, function, plasticity and repair of the nervous system, notably the brain. Neurogenesis originates from neural progenitor cells (NPs), endowed with the capacity to divide, renew to maintain the progenitor population, or commit to engage in the neurogenesis process. …”

Viloxazine, a Non-stimulant Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor, for the Treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A 3 Year Update by Hannah W Haddad, Paul B. Hankey, Jimin Ko, Zahaan Eswani, Pravjit Bhatti, Amber N. Edinoff, Adam M. Kaye, Alan D. Kaye

“…Current treatment options for ADHD include pharmacological treatment (stimulants, non-stimulants, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics), psychological treatment (behavioral therapy with or without parent training, cognitive training, neurofeedback), and complementary and alternative therapies (vitamin supplementation, exercise). Central nervous system (CNS) stimulants are the primary pharmacological therapy used in treatment; however, these stimulant drugs carry a high potential for abuse and severe psychological/physical dependence. …”
