Microglia’s heroic battle against neurodegeneration
In this issue of , Chadarevian et al. and Munro et al. demonstrate how the absence of homeostatic microglia leads to severe neuropathologies, including axonal spheroids, calcifications, myelination abnormalities, and gliosis, associated with leukoencephalopathy and age-related neurodegeneration. Transplantation of healthy microglia can reverse these conditions, opening new avenues for therapeutic research.In this issue of , Chadarevian et al. […]
Keeping track of time: An interaction of mossy fibers and climbing fibers
Precisely tracking time over second-long timescales is important for accurate anticipation and consequential actions, yet the neurobiological underpinnings remain unknown. In this issue of , Garcia-Garcia and colleagues show that computations in the cerebellum resulting from interactions between the mossy fiber and climbing fiber pathways contribute to long-interval learning during operant conditioning.Precisely tracking time over […]

Ischaemic stroke in the young--is it time to consider alcohol reduction for stroke prevention? 29 August 2024
While red wine has been touted to reduce myocardial infarction, the association between alcohol and cardiovascular disease and stroke is more nuanced.1 Metaanalyses indicate that haemorrhagic stroke is increased with alcohol.2 While mild alcohol intake might be associated with a neutral or reduced risk of ischaemic stroke, regular intake of large amounts or episodic binge […]

Randomised controlled trial of intermittent calorie restriction in people with multiple sclerosis 20 August 2024
BackgroundCalorie restriction (CR) ameliorates preclinical models of multiple sclerosis (MS) via multiple mechanisms. These include decreased leptin, a proinflammatory adipokine, but mechanistic studies in humans are lacking. Tests of daily and intermittent CR (iCR) in people with MS (pwMS) showed improvements in fatigue and well-being measures. This trial studied the effects of 12-week iCR on […]

One side effect: two networks? Lateral and posteromedial stimulation spreads induce dysarthria in subthalamic deep brain stimulation for Parkinsons disease 15 August 2024
BackgroundStimulation-induced dysarthria (SID) is a troublesome and potentially therapy-limiting side effect of deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). To date, the origin of SID, and especially whether there is an involvement of cerebellar pathways as well as the pyramidal tract, remains a matter of debate. Therefore, this […]

A role for Shugoshin in human cilia?
We have recently described a novel role for the conserved centromeric/kinetochore protein and cohesin protector, Shugoshin, in cilia of C. elegans. Worms are unusual in that the sole Shugoshin protein ( SGO-1 ) is dispensable for chromosome segregation but required for cilia function in fully differentiated sensory neurons. Depletion of sgo-1 leads to an array […]
sut-2 loss of function mutants protect against tau-driven shortened lifespan and hyperactive pharyngeal pumping in a C. elegans model of tau toxicity.
Expression of human tau in C. elegans neurons causes progressive, age-associated loss of motor coordination, selective neurodegeneration, and shortened lifespan. Loss of function (LOF) mutations in the conserved gene sut-2 protects against progressive motor uncoordination and neurodegeneration in models of tauopathy. To determine whether sut-2 LOF also protects against shortened lifespan of tau transgenic C. […]
