Article Abstract
Imaging synaptic density in vivo has promise for numerous research and clinical applications in the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases. Recent developments in the field of PET, such as SV2A human imaging with the novel tracers UCB-A, UCB-H and UCB-J, may help in realizing this potential and bring significant benefit for the patients suffering from these diseases. This review provides an overview of the most recent progress in the field of SV2A PET imaging, its potential for use as a biomarker of synaptic density and the future development areas.

Ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs) based on ferroelectric switching and quantum tunneling effects with thickness down to a few unit cells have been explored for applications of two-dimensional (2D) electronic devices in data storage and neural networks. As a key performance indicator, the enhanced tunneling electrosistance (TER) ratio provides a broader dynamic range for precise modulation of synaptic weights, improving the stability and accuracy of neural networks. Herein, we report an observation of pronounced enhancement in the TER ratio by over 4 orders of magnitude through the fabrication of large-scale heterostructures combining bismuth ferrite with two-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper oxide BiFeO.

Examining circadian synaptic plasticity requires housing mice under different lighting conditions (light/dark cycle, LD 12:12, and constant darkness, DD), providing access to running wheels, and sacrificing them at four defined time points within 24 h-at the beginning and middle of the day/subjective day and at the beginning and middle of the night/subjective night. Brains are then properly fixed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The barrel cortex, with its precise somatotopic organization, provides an ideal model for such analysis.

Introduction: The development of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a major challenge due to the disorder's complex and multifactorial nature. 2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL), a human milk oligosaccharide, has demonstrated promising neuroprotective properties. However, its effects on AD-related cognitive decline are not yet fully understood.

Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious complication of pregnancy characterized by chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation, which significantly increases the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring, including the autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This review investigated the potential mechanisms linking PE to ASD, with a particular focus on the role of microglial abnormalities. Epidemiological studies have revealed that prenatal exposure to PE raised the risk of ASD, with affected offspring showing increased odds ratios.

Synaptic plasticity is fundamental for cognitive development and brain function. Aluminium nanoparticles (AlNPs), widely used in industrial and consumer products, pose potential neurotoxic risks, particularly during early neurodevelopment. However, their effects on synaptic plasticity and cognitive outcomes remain poorly understood.
