A prospective hospital-based study on C-reactive protein as a response predictor of antidepressant treatment in drug naïve patients with major depressive disorder by Didakamiwan Khonglah, Arghya Pal, Nitu Mallik, Debes Ray, Malay Ghosal, Rudraprasad Acharya

“…Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant that is implicated in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD), due to its role in the execution of various important neurological events, including neurogenesis, mediation of neural plasticity, and synaptic transmission. Aims: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the level of CRP to remission rates after antidepressant therapy. …”

Uncovering Psychedelics: From Neural Circuits to Therapeutic Applications by Alice Melani, Marco Bonaso, Letizia Biso, Benedetta Zucchini, Ciro Conversano, Marco Scarselli

“…Psychedelics, historically celebrated for their cultural and spiritual significance, have emerged as potential breakthrough therapeutic agents due to their profound effects on consciousness, emotional processing, mood, and neural plasticity. This review explores the mechanisms underlying psychedelics’ effects, focusing on their ability to modulate brain connectivity and neural circuit activity, including the default mode network (DMN), cortico-striatal thalamo-cortical (CSTC) loops, and the relaxed beliefs under psychedelics (REBUS) model. …”

Enhancing balance and auditory function in bilateral vestibulopathy through otolithic vestibular stimulation: insights from a pilot study on cochlea-vestibular implant efficacy by Ángel Ramos-de-Miguel, Ángel Ramos-de-Miguel, Morgana Sluydts, Juan Carlos Falcón, Raquel Manrique-Huarte, Isaura Rodriguez, Andrzej Zarowski, Maurizio Barbara, Manuel Manrique, Silvia Borkoski, Joan Lorente, Marc Leblanc, Antonin Rambault, Erika Van Baelen, Carl Van Himbeeck, Alicia Huarte, Ángel Ramos Macías, Ángel Ramos Macías

“…Residual balance gains after device deactivation suggest neural adaptation, and placebo tests confirmed cochleovestibular stimulation specificity.DiscussionCVI effectively restores auditory and vestibular function, with improvements in hearing, balance, and quality of life. Neural plasticity likely supports long-term benefits. Future research should refine device design and stimulation protocols to enhance outcomes further.…”
