Article Abstract
We tested the immunoreactivity of KCC2 using KCC2 antibody in the developmental mouse medulla. Age-dependent changes in immunoreactivity were remarkable in the hypoglossal nucleus, and interestingly, the immunoreactivity in the hypoglossal nucleus relative to the dorsal vagal nucleus at P0 appeared to be higher than that of P7. Thus Cl(-) homeostasis in the hypoglossal nucleus might be differentially regulated in the developmental stage.

[Electroacupuncture at "Lianquan" (CV23) improves post-stroke dysphagia via hypoglossal nucleus].

Objectives: To investigate the mechanisms by which the hypoglossal nucleus (12N) modulates swallowing-related activities and mediates the therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at "Lianquan" (CV23) in alleviating post-stroke dysphagia (PSD).
Methods: Tracer viruses were used to investigate the brain regions that directly project to CV23. C57BL/6J mice were divided into 7 groups:control, model, model+EA, normal+12N inhibition control, normal+12N inhibition, model+EA+12N inhibition control, and model+EA+12N inhibition groups (7 mice/group).
The Brain of the African Wild Dog. VI. The Motor System.

Social behaviors in the African wild dog involve a range of complex movements, including biting, pushing, embracing, mounting, face and muzzle licking, paw placement, play fighting, and wrestling. In this study, we employ a range of architectural and immunohistochemical stains to provide a qualitative description of the motor system in the brain of one representative individual of the African wild dog. The appearance of the motor system in the African wild dog does not differ substantively to that reported in other carnivores and is neurochemically like that of the domestic dog; however, one significant difference was detected: the presence of a distinct fascicle of protoplasmic commissural dendrites at the rostral pole of the hypoglossal nucleus.

We present the case of an 81-year-old man diagnosed with probable amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) based on the Updated Awaji criteria. The patient exhibited progressive motor neuron degeneration with muscle weakness, atrophy, and fasciculations primarily in the right lower limb and later extending to the right upper limb. Three months after being referred to a home care clinic, he collapsed in front of his family members and died.

Article Synopsis
- HSV-1 primarily infects the oral and nasal areas before establishing latency in the trigeminal ganglion and can also infect the central nervous system (CNS) via specific pathways.
- Recent studies have highlighted the lack of detailed knowledge about which brain regions are affected during HSV-1 infections and how microglial responses differ across these regions.
- This study on a mouse model revealed a two-step spread of HSV-1 from the olfactory epithelium to select brain regions, along with varying activation levels of microglia, contributing to understanding HSV-1's role in neurological diseases.
Article Synopsis
- HSV-1 primarily infects the oral and nasal areas before becoming latent in the trigeminal ganglia and can also infect the central nervous system (CNS) through specific pathways.
- The study used a mouse model to observe how HSV-1 spreads through the olfactory epithelium and CNS, finding a distinct spread pattern and accompanying inflammatory response from immune cells.
- The research identified specific brain regions affected by HSV-1, revealing no involvement of the hippocampus or cortex, and highlighted varied microglial activation across different regions, suggesting implications for neurological diseases.
