BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although supraventricular ectopic beats (SVE), including premature atrial contractions (PACs) and non-sustained atrial tachycardia (NSAT), are frequent in the general population, some study results indicate that they are pathologic. SVE may predict undiagnosed atrial fibrillation or be associated with the embolic pattern of ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to identify the indicators most associated with embolic stroke among the parameters that suggest the burden of SVE...

Carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) is a natural dipeptide with multiple neuroprotective properties. Previous studies have advertised that carnosine scavenges free radicals and displays anti-inflammatory activity. However, the underlying mechanism and the efficacies of its pleiotropic effect on prevention remained obscure. In this study, we aimed to investigate the anti-oxidative, anti-inflammative, and anti-pyroptotic effects of carnosine in the transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) mouse model...

BACKGROUND: Multiple trials have shown that mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is superior to medical therapy. However, no robust evidence is available regarding MT beyond 24 h. In this study, we aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of endovascular stroke therapy in this late window. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of prospectively collected data of patients who met extended window trial criteria, but underwent MT beyond 24 h. Safety and efficacy outcomes included symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), procedural complications, number of passes, successful recanalization (mTICI 2b - 3), delta (Δ) NIHSS (baseline-discharge), and favorable outcomes (mRS 0-2 at 90 days)...

Neuroimaging, including CT and MRI, is integral to ischemic stroke (IS) treatment, management, and prevention. However, the use of MRI for IS patients is limited despite its potential to provide high-quality images that yield definitive information related to the management of IS. MRI is beneficial when the information provided by CT is insufficient for decisions related to the diagnosis, etiology, or treatment of IS. In the emergency setting, MRI can improve the diagnostic accuracy of CT-negative acute ischemic strokes (AIS) and ensure a better selection of patients for reperfusion therapies with thrombolysis and/or thrombectomy...

Navigation gets us from place to place, creating a path to arrive at a goal. We trained a monkey to steer a motorized cart in a large room, beginning at its trial-by-trial start location and ending at a trial-by-trial cued goal location. While the monkey steered its autonomously chosen path to its goal, we recorded neural activity simultaneously in both the hippocampus (HPC) and medial superior temporal (MST) cortex. Local field potentials (LFPs) in these sites show similar patterns of activity with the 15-30 Hz band highlighting specific room locations...

OBJECTIVE: Sensitive cognitive markers are still needed for frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The Benson Complex Figure Test (BCFT) is an interesting candidate test, as it assesses visuospatial, visual memory, and executive abilities, allowing the detection of multiple mechanisms of cognitive impairment. To investigate differences in BCFT Copy, Recall and Recognition in presymptomatic and symptomatic FTD mutation carriers, and to explore its cognitive and neuroimaging correlates. METHOD: We included cross-sectional data from 332 presymptomatic and 136 symptomatic mutation carriers (GRN, MAPT or C9orf72 mutations), and 290 controls in the GENFI consortium...

In post-stroke spasticity (PSS), effective treatment with botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is associated with transient decrease in activation of the ipsilesional superior parietal lobule (SPL) and intraparietal sulcus (IPS). We hypothesized that this would be reflected in changes in resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of the SPL/IPS. Our aim was therefore to assess rsFC of the ipsilesional SPL/IPS in chronic stroke patients with hemiparesis both with and without PSS and to explore the relationship between SPL/IPS rsFC and PSS severity...
