萌喵读文献-神经病学今日神经病学最高分文献 - 2024-10-09Hey there, brainiacs! Today on NeuroBuzz, we're diving into the labyrinth of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and its nasty sidekicks: cognitive decline and microangiopathy. Researchers at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology have uncovered a link between white matter microvascular changes and the cognitive slips associated with TLE. They've quantified these pesky vascular alterations and found a correlation with MRI diffusion measurements and cognitive impairment. What's more, this could be a clue to the underlying acquired neurodegenerative processes at play. So, if you're curious about how the brain's plumbing might be affecting its cognitive performance, tune in as we navigate...2024-10-0901 min

UCL MindsNovel ways to treat the brain with gene therapyDate of Lecture: Thursday 15 June 2023
About the Lecture:
Several neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric circuit disorders are characterized by intermittent episodes of pathological activity. Although genetic therapies offer the ability to modulate neuronal excitability, a limiting factor is that they do not discriminate between neurons involved in circuit pathologies and ‘healthy’ surrounding/intermingled neurons. Dr Lignani will present his recent study where he described a gene therapy strategy that down-regulates the excitability of overactive neurons in closed loop and tested it in models of epilepsy as proof of principle. This novel way of thinking can be applied to many neurological diseases such as s...2023-07-0459 minPractical Neurology PodcastMultiple system atrophy, with Dr. Yee Yen Goh and Dr. Viorica ChelbanDr. Amy Ross Russell (1) is joined by the authors of "Multiple system atrophy", a review recently published in Practical Neurology.

OHBM NeurosalienceNeurosalience #S1E16 with D. Kullmann, and V. Calhoun - A critical look at the field of fMRIThis podcast idea was precipitated by Dimitri Kullman’s 2020 editorial in Brain, causing a stir in the community. It levelled criticism about the clinical validity of fMRI. Some of it was outdated but some was indeed on point. In this podcast we had a great discussion on all things fMRI - what it can and cannot measure, and how it can continue to proceed. We also discuss some of the scientific culture surrounding fMRI. Overall, the discussion was useful in bringing some of the flaws as well as some of the outstanding innovations to light.
