The Psychedelic Future of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment
Curr Neuropharmacol. 2024;22(4):636-735. doi: 10.2174/1570159X22666231027111147.ABSTRACTPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can occur following exposure to a traumatic experience. An estimated 12 million U.S. adults are presently affected by this disorder. Current treatments include psychological therapies (e.g., exposure-based interventions) and pharmacological treatments (e.g., selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)). However, a significant proportion of patients receiving standard-of-care therapies for PTSD remain symptomatic, and new approaches for this and other trauma-rela...

Affective and Cognitive Impairments in Rodent Models of Diabetes
Curr Neuropharmacol. 2024 Jan 24. doi: 10.2174/1570159X22666240124164804. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiabetes and related acute and long-term complications have a profound impact on cognitive, emotional, and social behavior, suggesting that the central nervous system (CNS) is a crucial substrate for diabetic complications. When anxiety, depression, and cognitive deficits occur in diabetic patients, the symptoms and complications related to the disease worsen, contributing to lower quality of life while increasing health care costs and mortality. Experimental models of diabetes in rodents are a fundamental and valuable t...

Disease Modifying Strategies in Multiple Sclerosis: New Rays of Hope to Combat Disability?
Curr Neuropharmacol. 2024 Jan 24. doi: 10.2174/1570159X22666240124114126. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMultiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent chronic autoimmune inflammatory- demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). It usually begins in young adulthood, mainly between the second and fourth decades of life. Usually, the clinical course is characterized by the involvement of multiple CNS functional systems and by different, often overlapping phenotypes. In the last decades, remarkable results have been achieved in the treatment of MS, particularly in the relapsing- remitting (RRMS) form, thus impro...

In Vitro Blood-Brain Barrier Models for Neuroinfectious Diseases: A Narrative Review
Curr Neuropharmacol. 2023 Dec 8. doi: 10.2174/1570159X22666231207114346. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a complex, dynamic, and adaptable barrier between the peripheral blood system and the central nervous system. While this barrier protects the brain and spinal cord from inflammation and infection, it prevents most drugs from reaching the brain tissue. With the expanding interest in the pathophysiology of BBB, the development of in vitro BBB models has dramatically evolved. However, due to the lack of a standard model, a range of experimental protocols, BBB-phenotype markers, and permeabili...

Redox Modulation of Meniere Disease by Coriolus Versicolor Treatment, a Nutritional Mushroom Approach with Neuroprotective Potential
CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests MD as a model of cochlear neurodegenerative disease for the identification of potent inducers of the Nrf2-vitagene pathway, able to reduce the deleterious consequences associated with neurodegenerative damage, probably by indirectly acting on α-synuclein expression and on inflammatory processes NF- kB-mediated.PMID:38073105 | DOI:10.2174/1570159X22666231206153936 (Source: Current Neuropharmacology)
