[F]FDG PET metabolic patterns of the rapid-acting antidepressant effects of NLX-101, a 5-HT receptor biased agonist.

Rapid-acting antidepressants (RAADs) such as ketamine are currently under development. The aim of this study is to characterize the neural circuits affected by ketamine and NLX-101, a selective 5-HT receptor biased agonist which has shown promising effects, by using [F]FDG PET imaging in rats that had received chronic administration of corticosterone (CORT), a model of anxiety-depression. In a longitudinal study, regional changes in brain activity were investigated in 24 selected CORT rats.

Clinical use and reporting of neurofilament quantification in neurological disorders: A global overview.

Introduction: Neurofilament light chain (NfL) quantification aids in diagnosing and predicting neurological disorders, but clinical and laboratory practices vary across centers. Differences in result interpretation and reporting further challenge test commutability. This study aimed to review the global analytical and post-analytical methods used for NfL measurement in routine clinical practice across different contexts.

Toward alpha-synuclein seed amplification assay in clinical practice.

Introduction: Seed amplification assays (SAAs) demonstrate remarkable diagnostic performance in alpha-synucleinopathies. However, existing protocols lack accessibility in routine laboratories, mainly due to the requirement for in-house production of recombinant alpha-synuclein (aSyn). This study proposes a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) aSyn-SAA protocol using solely commercial reagents to facilitate its clinical implementation.

Demyelinating neuropathy as the initial presentation of familial E200K Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in two patients.

Objective: To describe peripheral neuropathy associated with familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Methods: We report two unrelated patients with genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with demyelinating peripheral neuropathy as initial presentation, with a comprehensive clinical, electrophysiological and neuropathological description.

Results: Both patients exhibited gait disturbance and paresthesia.
