Article Abstract
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of speed misperception on brain activity, created by a speed difference between actual walking and virtual reality walking videos. [Participants and Methods] The participants were 20 healthy young people. The walking speed in the video was set to 3 km/h to induce an error, while the actual walking speed was 1 km/h. Cerebral blood flow was measured using an optical imaging brain function measurement device. Left and right prefrontal cortices were analyzed using two channels and oxyhemoglobin level change from rest was used as a cerebral blood flow index. A t-test compared the cerebral blood flow dynamics before, during, and after the virtual reality video viewing under forward and backward walking conditions. [Results] Regarding changes in oxyhemoglobin levels during walking after watching the virtual reality video, cerebral blood flow increased especially in the backward walking state, where the difference was large in the right prefrontal cortex. [Conclusion] The backward walking that caused misperception by virtual reality is an extraordinary movement compared to forward walking. Thus, it is necessary to voluntarily adjust the movement by the cerebral cortex, and it is thought that activation of the prefrontal cortex occurs.

BOLD Long-Range Temporal Correlations Reflect Changes in Language and Depression Across Intensive Aphasia Therapy.
Stroke

Brain Language Laboratory, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany (A.-T.P.J., M.R.O., A.S., F.P.).
Background: Intensive language-action therapy treats language deficits and depressive symptoms in chronic poststroke aphasia, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain underexplored. Long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) in blood oxygenation level-dependent signals indicate persistence in brain activity patterns and may relate to learning and levels of depression. This observational study investigates blood oxygenation level-dependent LRTC changes alongside therapy-induced language and mood improvements in perisylvian and domain-general brain areas.

Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase in patients presenting within 24 hours of symptom onset with a large vessel occlusion and target mismatch on perfusion computed tomography.
Methods: ETERNAL-LVO was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point, phase 3, superiority trial where adult participants with a large vessel occlusion, presenting within 24 hours of onset with salvageable tissue on computed tomography perfusion, were randomized to tenecteplase 0.25 mg/kg or standard care across 11 primary and comprehensive stroke centers in Australia.

Department of Medicine, John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, USA.
Background: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a life-threatening hematologic emergency caused by ADAMTS13 deficiency, leading to microvascular thrombosis, haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and end-organ damage. Neurological symptoms occur in up to 90% of cases and are frequently misdiagnosed as stroke. Prompt recognition and treatment reduce the mortality rate from over 90% to 10-20%.

Introduction: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) encephalitis is a neuropsychiatric disorder with additional psychiatric features caused by NMDA-R immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This report presents the follow-up of a patient in whom we assumed mild NMDA-R encephalitis in the first psychotic episode.
Case Study: A patient with a prior episode of an acute polymorphic psychotic syndrome relapsed five and a half years later following a severe COVID-19 infection.

Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is a recommended treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). The objective of the present study was to evaluate the impact of vascular risk factors on the outcome of MT outcomes in patients with stroke with LVO and to determine the prevalence of structural epilepsy in these patients. This was a retrospective cohort study involving patients with stroke between 20 and 80 years of age with LVO who underwent MT.
