Association of rheumatological markers with neuronal antibodies, cerebrospinal fluid, electroencephalography, and magnetic resonance imaging findings in 224 patients with psychotic syndromes
DISCUSSION: Rheumatological screening led to suspicion of a possible or probable autoimmune psychotic syndrome in 4%. ANAs were associated with MRI pathologies. Therefore, rheumatological processes may contribute to the development of psychotic syndromes in rare cases.PMID:38599500 | DOI:10.1016/j.bbi.2024.04.001 (Source: Brain, Behavior, and Immunity)

Stress-induced mucin 13 reductions drive intestinal microbiome shifts and despair behaviors
Brain Behav Immun. 2024 Apr 3:S0889-1591(24)00309-X. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2024.03.028. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDepression is a prevalent psychological condition with limited treatment options. While its etiology is multifactorial, both chronic stress and changes in microbiome composition are associated with disease pathology. Stress is known to induce microbiome dysbiosis, defined here as a change in microbial composition associated with a pathological condition. This state of dysbiosis is known to feedback on depressive symptoms. While studies have demonstrated that targeted restoration of the microbiome can alleviate...

Microglial SCAP deficiency protects against diabetes-associated cognitive impairment through inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated neuroinflammation
Brain Behav Immun. 2024 Apr 2;119:154-170. doi: 10.1016/j.bbi.2024.03.051. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHyperglycemia-induced pathological microglial responses and subsequent neuronal damage are notable characteristics of diabetes-associated cognitive impairment (DACI). Cholesterol accumulation in the brain is a prevalent consequence of diabetes mellitus (DM), exacerbating pathological microglial responses. Regarding disordered glucose and lipid metabolism, the Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein (SREBP) cleavage-activating protein (SCAP), a cholesterol sensor, exhibits increased expression and abnormal translocatio...

TNFR1/p38 αMAPK signaling in Nex + supraspinal neurons regulates estrogen-dependent chronic neuropathic pain
In this study, we interrogated the intersect between supraspinal TNFR1 mediated neuronal signaling and sex specificity by selectively removing TNFR1 in Nex + neurons in adult mice (NexCreERT2::TNFR1f/f). We determined that mechanical hypersensitivity induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI) decreases over time in males, but not in females. Subsequently, we investigated two downstream pathways, p38MAPK and NF-κB, important in TNFR1 signaling and injury response. We detected p38MAPK and NF-κB activation in male cortical tissue; however, p38MAPK phosphorylation was reduced in NexCreERT2::TNFR1f/f males. We observed a si...
