Memory loss induced by lisdexamfetamine in the rat: A behavioral, electrophysiological, and histopathological Study
Behav Brain Res. 2024 Mar 16:114963. doi: 10.1016/j.bbr.2024.114963. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLisdexamfetamine (LDX) is one of the drugs commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, its neurological side effects, particularly on cognition, are not fully understood. The present study focused on memory in rats treated with four weeks of LDX injection. We compared LDX-treated rats with control ones, using several methods to evaluate the behavioral responses and electrophysiological, molecular, and histological properties in the hippocampus. Our findings demonstrated that subchronic adm...

Comparative Risk of Injury with Concurrent Use of Opioids and Skeletal Muscle Relaxants
In conclusion, the relative injury rate associated with different SMRs used concurrently with the three most dispensed opioids appears to vary depending on the specific opioid and the order of combination initiation. If confirmed by future studies, clinicians should consider the varying injury rates when prescribing SMRs to individuals using hydrocodone, oxycodone, and tramadol.PMID:38482733 | DOI:10.1002/cpt.3248 (Source: Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics)

Calcitonin receptor, calcitonin gene-related peptide and amylin distribution in C1/2 dorsal root ganglia
ConclusionsAmylin and CGRP could both be local peptide agonists for CTR-based receptors in upper cervical DRG, potentially acting through autocrine and/or paracrine signalling mechanisms to modulate neuron function. Amylin and its receptors could represent novel pain targets. (Source: The Journal of Headache and Pain)

Microglial activation in the lateral amygdala promotes anxiety-like behaviors in mice with chronic moderate noise exposure
CONCLUSIONS: Our study identifies LA microglial activation as a critical mediator of noise-induced anxiety-like behaviors, leading to neuronal and behavioral changes through selective synapse phagocytosis. Our results highlight the pivotal but previously unrecognized roles of LA microglia in chronic moderate noise-induced behavioral changes.PMID:38468130 | DOI:10.1111/cns.14674 (Source: CNS Neuroscience and Therapeutics)

Synaptic and dendritic architecture of different types of hippocampal somatostatin interneurons
by Vir ág Takács, Zsuzsanna Bardóczi, Áron Orosz, Abel Major, Luca Tar, Péter Berki, Péter Papp, Márton I. Mayer, Hunor Sebők, Luca Zsolt, Katalin E. Sos, Szabolcs Káli, Tamás F. Freund, Gábor Nyiri GABAergic inhibitory neurons fundamentally shape the activity and plasticity of cortical circuits. A major subset of these neurons contains somatostatin (SOM); these cells play crucial roles in neuroplasticity, learning, and memory in many brain areas including the hippocampus, and are implicated in several neuropsychiatric diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. Two main types of SOM-containing cells in area CA1 ...

The Primary Cilium and its Hedgehog Signaling in Nociceptors Contribute to Inflammatory and Neuropathic Pain
Res Sq [Preprint]. 2024 Feb 26:rs.3.rs-3812442. doi: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-3812442/v1.ABSTRACTThe primary cilium, a 1-3 μm long hair-like structure protruding from the surface of almost all cells in the vertebrate body, is critical for neuronal development and also functions in the adult. As the migratory neural crest settles into dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons elaborate a single primary cilium at their soma that is maintained into adult stages. While it is not known if primary cilia are expressed in nociceptors, or their potential function in the mature DRG neuron, recent studies have shown a role for Hedgehog, who...

Tapeworm Infection Diagnosed after Campylobacter jejuni-induced Enteritis
This report presents a rare case of coinfection with Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiensis and Campylobacter jejuni. Therefore, it is important to consider the coexistence of other intestinal infections when diagnosing parasitic infections in patients with fever.PMID:38462514 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.3388-23 (Source: Internal Medicine)
