Pharmacotherapeutic Potential of Bitter Gourd ( < em > Momordica charantia < /em > ) in Age-related Neurological Diseases
J Integr Neurosci. 2024 Apr 23;23(4):86. doi: 10.31083/j.jin2304086.ABSTRACTDue to the growth of the elderly population, age-related neurological disorders are an increasing problem. Aging begins very gradually and later leads to several neurological issues such as lower neurotransmitter levels, oxidative stress, neuronal inflammation, and continual neuronal loss. These changes might contribute to brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia or mild cognitive impairment, and epilepsy and glioma, and can also aggravate these disorders if they were previously present. Momordica charantia (bitter gourd), a membe...

Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder in Latin America: State-of-the-Art and Current Challenges
J Integr Neurosci. 2024 Apr 7;23(4):74. doi: 10.31083/j.jin2304074.ABSTRACTNeuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare autoimmune disease of the central nervous system characterized by severe attacks of optic neuritis, myelitis, and/or area postrema. Advances in understanding the pathophysiology of NMOSD have led to improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. There has been a notable increase in research efforts worldwide, including in Latin America (LATAM). In recent years, LATAM has witnessed a surge in research on NMOSD, resulting in a growing body of evidence on various aspects such as epidemiology, cl...

Health Neuroscience-How the Brain/Mind and Body Affect our Health Behavior and Outcomes
J Integr Neurosci. 2024 Apr 1;23(4):69. doi: 10.31083/j.jin2304069.ABSTRACTThis Opinion piece discusses several key research questions in health neuroscience, a new interdisciplinary field that investigates how the brain and body interact to affect our health behavior such as health mindsets, decision-making, actions, and health outcomes across the lifespan. To achieve physical, mental, and cognitive health, and promote health behavior change, we propose that the prevention and treatment of diseases should target the root causes-the dysfunction and imbalance of brain-body biomarkers, through evidence-based body-mind interv...

Immune Ataxias: The Continuum of Latent Ataxia, Primary Ataxia and Clinical Ataxia
J Integr Neurosci. 2024 Apr 12;23(4):79. doi: 10.31083/j.jin2304079.ABSTRACTThe clinical category of immune-mediated cerebellar ataxias (IMCAs) is now recognized after 3 decades of clinical and experimental research. The cerebellum gathers about 60% of neurons in the brain, is enriched in numerous plasticity mechanisms, and presents a large variety of antigens at the neuroglial level: ion channels and related proteins, synaptic adhesion/organizing proteins, transmitter receptors, and glial cells. Cerebellar circuitry is especially vulnerable to immune attacks. After the loss of immune tolerance, IMCAs present in an acute o...

Neither Amphetamine nor Sub-Anesthetic Ketamine Treatment during Adolescence Impairs Devaluation in Rats Tested during Adulthood
CONCLUSIONS: We discuss possible reasons for this discrepancy with the prior literature, including (1) the age of exposure and (2) the pattern in the previous literature that most previous demonstrations of drug exposure impairing devaluation in laboratory animals may be attributed to either drug-associated cues present in the testing environment and/or accelerated habit learning in tasks that predispose laboratory animals towards habit formation with extended training (with training procedures that should resist the formation of habits in the current experiment). However, additional research is needed to examine the effec...
