Sex-specific grey matter abnormalities in individuals with chronic insomnia
This study aimed to investigate sex-specific grey matter (GM) alterations in patients with CI and to examine the relationship between GM alterations and neuropsychological assessments. Ninety-three (65 females and 28 males) patients and 78 healthy (50 females and 28 males) controls were recruited. Structural magnetic resonance imaging data were analysed using voxel-based morphometry to test for interactions between sex and diagnosis. Spearman ’s correlation was used to assess the associations among structure, disease duration, and sleep-, mood-, and cognition-related assessments. Males with CI showed reduced GM volume in...

Effects of physical activity and depressive symptoms on cognitive function in older adults: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
ConclusionHigh levels of Physical activity were independently associated with a lower incident cognitive impairment. Additionally, the severity of depression was positively correlated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment. (Source: Neurological Sciences)

Association between motor symptoms of Parkinson ’s disease and swallowing disorders
ConclusionThis study revealed a correlation between muscle rigidity and laryngeal penetration or aspiration risk. The detailed comparative analysis of various individual PD symptoms and swallowing disorders was substantial, which enabled early detection of the risk of swallowing disorder and the implementation of appropriate measures.Trial registration numberjRCTs062220013.

PIGW-related glycosylphosphatidylinositol deficiency: A case report and literature review
ConclusionsPIGW-related glycosylphosphatidylinositol deficiency is characterized by developmental delay, epilepsy, distinctive facial features, and multiple organ anomalies. Genetic testing is an important method for diagnosing this disease, and flow cytometry and serum ALP level detection are crucial complements for genetic testing. (Source: Neurological Sciences)

Unique association of anti-GABAA receptor encephalitis and myasthenia gravis in a patient with type A thymoma
AbstractAssociation between anti-GABAAR encephalitis and myasthenia gravis is extremely rare with few reported cases. Herein, we report a case of a female patient diagnosed with anti-GABAAR encephalitis and thymoma at the first admission. She was administered glucocorticoids for long-term immunotherapy, and thymectomy with biopsy demonstrated a type A thymoma. After 4 months, the symptoms of encephalitis were relieved, but she then developed post-thymectomy myasthenia gravis with anti-AChR and anti-titin dual positivity. Antibodies to connective tissue (anti-ANA, anti-PCNA) and those characteristics of paraneoplastic syn...

The volume and structural covariance network of thalamic nuclei in patients with Wilson ’s disease: an investigation of the association with neurological impairment
ConclusionsThe findings suggest that the majority of thalamic nuclei in WDs exhibit significant volume reduction, and the atrophy of the right MDm is closely related to the severity of neurological symptoms. The intrinsic thalamic network in WDs demonstrated abnormal topological properties, indicating a close relationship with neurological impairment. (Source: Neurological Sciences)

Altered brain function and structure pre- and post- COVID-19 infection: a longitudinal study
ConclusionNeuroimaging alterations may occur before the manifestation of clinical symptoms, indicating that the functioning of the motor and sensory systems, as well as their connection, might be affected following infection. This alteration can potentially increase the potential of maladaptive responses to environmental stimuli. Furthermore, patients may be susceptible to future emotional disorders.

A case of Mills ’ syndrome: initially characterized by one cerebral hemisphere atrophy and decreased brain metabolism then evolving into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
This article reports a case of Mills ’ syndrome that initially manifested as atrophy of one cerebral hemisphere and decreased brain metabolism, which developed into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in the fourth year of the disease. Mills’ syndrome is a rare type of motor neuron disease, with only over 20 cases reported since 1990, bu t most lack imaging such as PET and DTI. This article provides a complete report of the 18F-FDG-PET and DTI images consistent with the characteristics of Mills’ syndrome. In addition, we have discovered some new phenomena, which have certain clinical and teaching values. Firstly, the front...
