Current diagnosis and treatment of cryptococcal meningitis without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is a central nervous system infectious disease caused by Cryptococcus. It is the most common fungal infection in the central nervous system,...

Neurological manifestations in Fabry disease

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare, progressive, multisystem and highly debilitating disease. FD is an X-linked lysosome storage disorder that results in α-galactosidase A deficiency....

On the need to unify neuroscience and physics

A review with comments on herpes simplex encephalitis in adults

Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) can cause permanent injury to the brain parenchyma. As such, it is usually treated as a medical emergency for which correct immediate diagnosis...

Inhibition and reversal of growth cone collapse in adult sensory neurons by enteric glia-induced neurotrophic factors

Aim: Previous studies show enteric glia (EG)-conditioned medium promotes neurite outgrowth in adult dorsal root ganglia (DRG) derived sensory neurons. This EG-conditioned medium...

Immune-to-brain signaling and substrates of altered behavior during inflammation

During the systemic inflammatory response to acute infection, and when in a safe environment, endothermic mammals typically display reduced activity and food intake, increased...

Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is a central nervous system infectious disease caused by Cryptococcus. It is the most common fungal infection in the central nervous system,...

Neuroinflammatory modulators of oligodendrogenesis

Oligodendrocytes are key neural cells that are responsible for producing myelin sheaths that wrap around neuronal axons in the central nervous system. Myelin is essential to...

Neuronal toll-like receptors and neuro-immunity in Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and stroke

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are part of the innate immune system important for the initiation of proper immune responses towards microorganisms. Neuronal TLRs are considered to...

Neurological diseases associated with autoantibodies targeting the voltage-gated potassium channel complex: immunobiology and clinical characteristics

Voltage-gated potassium channels (VGKCs) represent a group of tetrameric signaling proteins with several functions, including modulation of neuronal excitability and...
