Article Abstract
Adenosine plays a significant role in neurotransmission process by controlling the blood pressure, while adenosine triphosphate (ATP) acts as a neuromodulator and neurotransmitter and by activation of P2 receptors, regulates the contractility of the heart. Adenosine signaling is essential in the process of regeneration by regulating proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis of stem cells. In this review, we have selected neurological disorders (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy) with clinical trials using antagonists and epigenetic tools targeting adenosine receptor as a therapeutic approach in the treatment of these disorders. Promising results have been reported from many clinical trials. It has been found that higher expression levels of A2A and P2X7 receptors in neurological disorders further complicate the disease condition. Therefore, modulations of these receptors by using antagonists of these receptors or SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) therapy as an epigenetic tool could be useful in reversing the complications of these disorders. Finally, we suggest that modulation of adenosine receptors in neurological disorders can increase the regenerative phase by increasing the rate of proliferation and differentiation in the damaged tissues.

Background And Objectives: Neuroimaging findings in immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) have not been systematically described. We created the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell Neurotoxicity Imaging Virtual Archive Library (CARNIVAL), a centralized imaging database for children and young adults receiving CAR T-cell therapy. Objectives of this study were to (1) characterize neuroimaging findings associated with ICANS and (2) determine whether specific ICANS-related neuroimaging findings are associated with individual neurologic symptoms.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS), leading to a broad spectrum of physical and cognitive impairments. Myeloid cells within the CNS, including microglia and border-associated macrophages, play a central role in the neuroinflammatory processes associated with MS. Activation of these cells contributes to the local inflammatory response and promotes the recruitment of additional immune cells into the CNS.

Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) dysfunction acts as a key mediator of ischemic brain injury, contributing to brain edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, and neuronal damage. The integrity of the BBB is largely maintained by tight junction proteins, such as Claudin-5, and its disruption exacerbates neurological deficits. Neurokinin B (NKB), a neuropeptide that belongs to the tachykinin family, has been implicated in various physiological processes, including neuroinflammation and vascular function.

Background: As a non-competitive blocker of the -methyl-d-aspartate receptor, ketamine is widely used for anesthesia and pain relief in clinical settings. However, certain neurological side effects may appear if it is used for the long term. According to clinical observations, anesthetic doses of ketamine trigger postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction in elderly patients, while subanesthetic doses of ketamine suppress the postoperative neuronal pyroptosis in the hippocampus, ameliorating the cognitive function.
