Mne37-002	GFAP as a Biomarker of Stroke Subtype and Brain Tissue Damage in Acute Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
	Quote:	Background: Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is a promising blood biomarker that can distinguish intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) from acute ischemic stroke (AIS).... Conclusions: As a blood biomarker in acute stroke, GFAP has strong rule-in value (i.e. high specificity) for ICH, which is preserved in earlier time windows. Nevertheless, sensitivity remains limited, restricting its use as a rule-out test, particularly for smaller ICH volumes. Knowledge gaps remain regarding GFAPs potential in assessing ischemic injury extent in AIS.

Mne37-003	Target-dependent parameter-effect landscapes of low-intensity focused ultrasound neuromodulation in humans: a systematic review
	Quote:	These findings challenge the assumption that acoustic protocols have generalizable effects across the brain and identify anatomical target as a central dimension that should inform LIFU protocol design. We provide SonoMap, an open, interactive web resource that supports a more systematic, evidence-based approach to human LIFU neuromodulation.

Mpy37-018	DMN-Targeted TMS Reduces Neural Cue-Reactivity in Individuals with Schizophrenia who Use Nicotine
	Quote:	Background: Nicotine dependence is a major contributor to early mortality in individuals with schizophrenia, yet effective treatments remain limited. Drug cue-reactivity is a key contributor to nicotine use. Although transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can reduce nicotine use and cue-reactivity, conventional left dorsolateral parietal (DLPFC)-targeted TMS is less effective in those with schizophrenia, highlighting the need for alternative, circuit-based targets.... Conclusion: DMN-targeted TMS is a promising intervention that modulates nicotine cue-elicited brain activity in schizophrenia.
	Comment:	Pierson and Shaw, in their book series Life Extension, wrote that Niacin provides a kind of sensory buffer that some smokers need while quitting. Hoffer also found that Niacin can refere schizophrenia in some patients due to a genetic defect preventing them from converting Tryptophan to Niacin.

Sd372-008	Scientists Discover a Major Brain Shift Between Ages 50 and 75
	Quote:	Scientists have uncovered sweeping changes in how the human brain controls and organizes its genome beginning in midlife, offering new clues to why aging sharply increases the risk of Alzheimers and other neurodegenerative diseases. One of the biggest shifts occurred between about ages 50 and 75, when many of the brains original immune cells declined and were replaced by cells with more inflammatory characteristics. Researchers also found weakening of cells that help maintain the blood-brain barrier, along with widespread deterioration in the genomes three-dimensional organization.

	Quote:	Scientists found that declining levels of the brain protein Menin may help drive aging, with lower levels in mice linked to inflammation, cognitive decline, weaker bones, and thinner skin. Restoring Menin reversed several age-related changes, while the amino acid D-serine improved cognition, hinting at a potentially intriguing new target for healthy aging.
