Evaluating the neuroprotective effects of progesterone receptors on experimental traumatic brain injury: The PI3K/Akt pathway
ConclusionAccording to these findings, PRs are acting as critical mediators for the neuroprotective properties of P4 on oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, and neurological outcomes. PRs also play an important role in regulating the PI3K/p-Akt expression and nongenomic function of P4. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

MEX3C induces cognitive impairment in mice through autophagy inhibition
ConclusionThe KO of theMEX3C gene reduces the plasticity of synapses in various regions of the hippocampus, thereby affecting the function of the hippocampus and eventually causing the decline of cognitive function. On the other hand, compared with WT mice,MEX3C-KO mice showed increased anxiety-like behaviors in minefield and elevated plus maze tests. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Social determinants of health and cognitive function: A cross ‐sectional study among men without dementia
ConclusionHigher SES, being in a relationship, and greater perceived social support from a significant other and friends were associated with better cognitive function. Further studies identifying underlying mechanisms linking social factors with cognition are needed to establish prevention strategies and enhance cognitive health. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Association between COVID ‐19 and myasthenia gravis (MG): A genetic correlation and Mendelian randomization study
ConclusionOur study did not find evidence of a genetic correlation or causal relationship among COVID-19 susceptibility, hospitalization, severity, and MG. Future studies with more GWAS data are needed to evaluate the association between COVID-19 phenotypes and MG and its subgroups. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Comparing 5G mobile stroke unit and emergency medical service in patients acute ischemic stroke eligible for t ‐PA treatment: A prospective, single‐center clinical trial in Ya'an, China
ConclusionsOur findings indicate that 5G MSU care significantly reduces the time from symptom onset to stroke diagnosis and intravenous thrombolysis in patients with AIS, resulting in improved functional outcomes compared to EMS care. As China continues its deployment of 5G technology and other digital infrastructures, the adoption of 5G MSU care on a broader scale may eventually supplant traditional stroke treatment approaches.
