Bbe42-004	Why phosphenes are not always dots: modeling the shapes elicited 1 by intracortical stimulation of human V1
	Quote:	The majority of visual cortical prosthetic devices currently implanted in patients or under development rely on small depth electrodes. Reports from patients implanted with these devices suggest that stimulation with tiny electrodes does not reliably produce small punctate spots, with some patients reporting a variety of percepts, including larger spots and irregularly shaped phosphenes.

Bim42-011	Innate Immune Dysregulation Precedes Clinical Onset in Neuromyelitis Optica
	Quote:	VirScan identified enhanced CMV-specific antibody reactivity following AQP4- IgG seroconversion, and network analyses revealed interactions between NMOSD-associated and CMV-derived proteins. Together, these findings establish a novel multi-hit model of NMOSD, with implications for understanding antibody-mediated autoimmunity more broadly.

Bne42-003	Learned Audiovisual Predictability Modulates Depth-Resolved Hippocampal-Cortical Functional Coupling
	Quote:	Predictability-related connectivity changes showed a spatially structured pattern involving DG/CA3-pSTG and CA1-inferior frontal regions, with significant edge-wise effects resolved across cortical depths. These findings provide fine-grained evidence that learned auditory predictability modulates hippocampal-cortical functional interactions across temporo-frontal systems.

Bne42-007	Infantile amnesia results from differential memory retrieval in humans
	Quote:	Instead, a retrieval-specific EEG signature predicted complete, but not partial, memory retrieval, distinguishing which toddlers had retained the full memory before their behavioural response.... Together, these findings show that early memories formed during the infantile amnesia period are not simply erased but persist in an increasingly inaccessible form, a transformation whose trajectory can be shaped by both the neural retrieval mechanism and the prenatal environment.

Bne42-009	Astrocytic sEH-EET signaling regulates microglial lysosomal function and suppresses the STING-Type I interferon pathway in Alzheimers disease
	Quote:	Background: The development of #946;-amyloid (A#946;) pathology in Alzheimers disease (AD) is accompanied by profound changes in astrocytes and microglia and associated neuroinflammation. Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), which degrades anti-inflammatory epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), is elevated in the AD brain, yet how EETs restrain inflammation remains poorly understood.... Conclusion: We define an astrocyte-microglia axis in which astrocytic sEH limits EET availability and thereby sustains microglial STING signaling. By promoting lysosomal clearance of pSTING, EETs suppress type I IFN signaling and enhance microglial A#946; clearance, highlighting sEH inhibition as a therapeutic strategy targeting both neuroinflammation and lysosomal dysfunction in AD.

	Quote:	"Basically, we showed that it is not the plaques themselves, or solely dysfunctional neurons, that cause sleep loss but actually microglia," said Macauley. "Microglia are immune cells that, when they respond to plaques, kick off this elaborate cascade of inflammation, as if the microglia are partying all night, and keeping the brain awake."

	Quote:	Eating too much salt may do more than raise blood pressure. It could also harm memory and social behavior. In a new study, Japanese researchers discovered that a soy-derived compound called LPC70 helped protect mice from several damaging effects of a high-salt diet. Mice given the supplement had lower blood pressure, better memory, and improved social interactions compared with mice consuming excess salt alone.

Sd421-025	Scientists Uncover 3 Key Brain Pathways Linked to Lasting Depression Relief
	Quote:	The researchers found that lasting improvements were consistently associated with electrical stimulation reaching three specific white matter pathways: the cingulum bundle, forceps minor, and medial uncinate fasciculus/ventral amygdalofugal pathways. These findings strengthen the case for using detailed maps of the brains connections to determine exactly where electrodes should be implanted, rather than choosing their positions based primarily on anatomical landmarks.

	Quote:	In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers found that removing TIMP2 caused brain immune cells, known as microglia, to develop characteristics linked to aging and neurodegenerative disease. When the scientists restored TIMP2 in the bloodstream of older mice, these cells became better at removing cellular debris and showed fewer molecular signs of inflammation and other potentially harmful changes.
