Article Abstract
Objective: To examine the use of the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory to measure clinical changes over time in a population of US service members undergoing treatment of mild traumatic brain injury and comorbid psychological health conditions.
Setting: A 4-week, 8-hour per day, intensive, outpatient, interdisciplinary, comprehensive treatment program at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence in Bethesda, Maryland.
Participants: Three hundred fourteen active-duty service members being treated for combat-related comorbid mild traumatic brain injury and psychological health conditions.
Design: Repeated-measures, retrospective analysis of a single-group using a pretest-posttest treatment design.
Main Measures: Three Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory scoring methods: (1) a total summated score, (2) the 3-factor method, and (3) the 4-factor method (with and without orphan items).
Results: All 3 scoring methods yielded statistically significant within-subject changes between admission and discharge. The evaluation of effect sizes indicated that the 3 different Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory scoring methods were comparable.
Conclusion: Findings indicate that the different scoring methods all have potential for assessing clinical changes in symptoms for groups of patients undergoing treatment, with no clear advantage with any one method.

Background: Prospective studies suggest that prenatal exposure to chemical neurotoxicants and maternal stress increase risk for psychiatric problems. However, most studies have focused on childhood outcomes, leaving adolescence-a critical period for the emergence or worsening of psychiatric symptoms-relatively understudied. The complexity of prenatal coexposures and adolescent psychiatric comorbidities, particularly among structurally marginalized populations with high exposure burdens, remains poorly understood.

Background: Body Perception Disturbances (BPD) are common in chronic limb pain conditions characterised by negative feelings toward the limb and a reduced sense of agency. Prior research has focused on isolated associations between psychological factors, pain hypersensitivity and BPD. Therefore, an integrated examination of the interconnections between these variables within a theory-driven model is necessary.

The dopaminergic system may be at the base of some neurobehavioral symptoms, as apathy and depression, and extrapyramidal symptoms, often seen in Alzheimer's disease patients. It can also have an impact on cognitive decline, as extrapyramidal symptoms, classically linked with dopamine dysfunction, are associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease progression. We review the knowledge of the dopaminergic system, emphasizing changes in Alzheimer's disease.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Baicalin, an extract derived from the dried root of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Huang Qin), has demonstrated neuroprotective properties. Nonetheless, the safety profile of baicalin has not yet been fully elucidated.
Aim Of The Study: The objective was to characterize the acute and subacute toxicity profiles of baicalin across various organ systems, thereby establishing safe therapeutic windows for its clinical application in the treatment of chronic neurodegenerative disorders.

Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) may experience neurobehavioral and cognitive concerns, including psychiatric symptoms, due to the absence of full-length dystrophin (Dp427), frequently accompanied by deficiencies in shorter isoforms. The lack of dystrophin affects neurophysiological processes from the uterine phase, impacting neural circuitry in brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum. This leads to reduced inhibitory GABAergic transmission and altered hippocampal glutamatergic signaling.
