Acute administration of NLX-101, a Serotonin 1A receptor agonist, improves auditory temporal processing during development in a mouse model of Fragile X Syndrome by Xin Tao, Katilynne Croom, Adrian Newman-Tancredi, Mark Varney, Khaleel A. Razak

“…In our previous study, we found that administration of the selective serotonin-1 A (5-HT1A)receptor biased agonist, NLX-101, protected Fmr1 KO mice from auditory hypersensitivity-associated seizures. Here we tested the hypothesis that NLX-101 will normalize EEG phenotypes in developing Fmr1 KO mice. …”

Neuropsychiatric manifestations following chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy for cancer: a systematic review of clinical outcomes and management strategies by Max Topp, Michael Hudecek, Hermann Einsele, Imad Maatouk, Leo Rasche, Johannes Duell, Anna Fleischer, Sophia Kurth, Patrick-Pascal Strunz, Julia Mersi, Carmen Sanges

“…Among the most frequently reported neuropsychological symptoms were aphasia, attention deficits, impaired consciousness, and disorientation, alongside a constellation of other symptoms including confusion, cognitive impairment, memory loss, writing difficulties, fatigue, headache, agitation, tremor, seizures, and psychomotor retardation. Early intervention strategies, including corticosteroids and tocilizumab, have shown the potential to reduce the intensity of neuropsychological symptoms and prevent their progression to critical complications.Conclusion These insights underscore the imperative of extending neuropsychological assessments beyond the conventional Immune Effector Cell-Associated Encephalopathy score framework.…”
