Most scholars believe that amyloid-beta (Aβ) has the potential to induce apoptosis, stimulate an inflammatory cascade, promote oxidative stress and exacerbate the pathological progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the deposition of Aβ in AD. At approximately 6 months of age, APP/PS1 double transgenic mice gradually exhibit the development of plaques, as well as spatial and learning impairment. Notably, the hippocampus is specifically affected in the course of AD...

To date, treatment of Central Nervous System (CNS) pathology has largely focused on neuronal structure and function. Yet, revived attention towards fluid circulation within the CNS has exposed the need to further explore the role of glial cells in maintaining homeostasis within neural networks. In the past decade, discovery of the neural glymphatic network has revolutionized traditional understanding of fluid dynamics within the CNS. Advancements in neuroimaging have revealed alternative pathways of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) generation and efflux...

Fish oil has been known for its antioxidant, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective characteristics due to the presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are essential for optimal brain function and mental health. The present study investigated the effect of Carcharhinus Bleekeri (Shark Fish) oil on learning and memory functions in scopolamine-induced amnesia in rats. Locomotor and memory-enhancing activity in scopolamine-induced amnesic rats was investigated by assessing the open field and passive avoidance paradigm...

Wilson disease (WD) is a rare hereditary copper metabolism disorder, wherein cognitive impairment is a common clinical symptom. Chrysophanol (CHR) is an active compound with neuroprotective effects. The study aims to investigate the neuroprotective effect of CHR in WD and attempted to understand the potential mechanisms. Network pharmacology analysis was applied to predict the core target genes of CHR against cognitive impairment in WD. The rats fed with copper-laden diet for 12 weeks, and the effect of CHR on the copper content in liver and 24-h urine, the learning and memory ability, the morphological changes and the apoptosis level of neurons in hippocampal CA1 region, the expression level of Bax, Bcl-2, Cleaved Caspase-3, p-PI3K, PI3K, p-AKT, and AKT proteins were detected...

Chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP) remains a therapeutic challenge, with no US-FDA approved drugs or effective treatments available. Despite significant progress in unravelling the pathophysiology of CINP, the clinical translation of this knowledge into tangible outcome remains elusive. Here, we employed behavioural and pharmacological approaches to establish and validate a novel combination-based chemotherapeutic model of peripheral neuropathy. Male Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to chemotherapy administration followed by assessment of pain behaviour at different time-points post-chemotherapy...

Andrographolide (Andro), a labdane diterpene, possesses anti-inflammatory properties and has been used to treat numerous inflammatory diseases. Novel findings revealed that Andro might be vital in regulating pain. However, the contribution of Andro to chronic inflammatory pain has yet to be determined, and its underlying mechanism of action remains unknown. In this study, we observed that Andro attenuated mechanical allodynia in inflammatory pain mice induced by injecting complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) into the right hind paws...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been recently considered as one of the regulatory mechanisms of the nervous system. Hence, lncRNAs may be considered diagnostic biomarkers for bipolar disorder (BD). We aimed to investigate the expression of RMRP, CTC-487M23.5, and DGCR5 lncRNAs in bipolar patients. The levels of these three lncRNAs were measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 50 BD patients and 50 healthy subjects by real-time PCR. Moreover, we performed a ROC curve analysis between the gene expression and some clinical features of BD patients...

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder. Approximately, around 2% to 3% percent of the general population experience symptoms of OCD over the course of their lifetime. OCD can lead to economic burden, poor quality of life, and disability. The characteristic features exhibited generally in OCD are continuous intrusive thoughts and periodic ritualized behaviours. Variations in genes, pathological function of Cortico-Striato-Thalamo-Cortical (CSTC) circuits and dysregulation in the synaptic conduction have been the major factors involved in the pathological progression of OCD...

1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) has been widely used due to its specific and reproducible neurotoxic effect on the nigrostriatal system, being considered a convenient model of dopaminergic neurodegeneration to study interventions therapeutics. The purple pitanga (Eugenia uniflora) is a polyphenol-rich fruit with antioxidant and antidepressant properties, among others.

Obesity is a worldwide problem in which genetic factors have a prominent role. We have selected two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within glutamate metabotropic receptor 7 (GRM7) gene, namely rs6782011 and rs779867 to weigh their association with obesity in an Iranian cohort. The distribution of rs6782011 alleles was significantly different in the obese patients from normal controls (P < 0.0001; 434 obese patients vs. 297 normal controls). Distribution of alleles was also measured between sex-based groups of obese patients and controls...

Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally. Cognitive dysfunction is a common complication of stroke, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life. Previous studies have shown that the expression of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated cation (HCN) channel is closely related to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and subsequent cognitive impairment. We also found that ZD7288, a specific inhibitor of the HCN channel, attenuated IR injury during short-term reperfusion. Since apoptosis can induce cell necrosis and aggravate cognitive impairment after IR, the purpose of this study is to define whether ZD7288 could improve cognitive impairment after prolonged cerebral reperfusion in rats by regulating apoptotic pathways...

Depression is one of the most prevalent severe CNS disorders, which negatively affects social lives, the ability to work, and the health of people. As per the World Health Organisation (WHO), it is a psychological disorder that is estimated to be a leading disease by 2030. Clinically, various medicines have been formulated to treat depression but they are having a setback due to their side effects, slow action, or poor bioavailability. Nowadays, flavonoids are regarded as an essential component in a variety of nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and medicinal...

Epilepsy significantly reduces the patient's quality of life, and we still need to develop new therapeutic approaches to control it. Transplantation of cells such as Sertoli cells (SCs), having a potent ability to release a variety of growth and immunoprotective substances, have made them a potential candidate to deal with neurological diseases like epilepsy. Hence, this study aims to evaluate whether SCs transplant effectively protects the hippocampus astrocytes and neurons to oppose seizure damage. For this purpose, the effects of bilateral intrahippocampal transplantation of SCs were investigated on the rats with the pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) induced seizure...
