Article Abstract
The etiologies for adults presenting with hemiballism are usually acquired lesions in the contralateral side of subthalamic nucleus. We present a 71-year-old woman with progressive onset of left hemiballism, orolingual dyskinesia and cognitive decline for 3 years. A rare genetic etiology was the final diagnosis for this index patient. In this movement disorder round, we describe our approach to this clinical presentation, and discuss the phenomenon and radiological features of this rare genetic disorder.

Umbelliferone Alleviates Sleep Deprivation Induced Cognitive Impairment through the Modulation of Gut Microbiota.

Sleep deprivation (SD) is a major contributor to cognitive impairment, often accompanied by central neuroinflammation and gut microbiota dysbiosis. The tryptophan (TRP) pathway, activated via indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), serves as a critical link between immune activation and neuronal damage. Umbelliferone (UMB), a naturally occurring coumarin compound, possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and microbiota-modulating properties.

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability globally, with frequent cognitive sequelae affecting up to 60% of stroke survivors. Despite the high prevalence of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), early detection remains underemphasized in clinical practice, with limited focus on broader neuropsychological and affective symptoms. Stroke elevates dementia risk and may act as a trigger for progressive neurodegenerative diseases.

The "biological view" of Alzheimer's disease (AD) focuses on the role of plaques and tangles and excludes syndromes from the disease definition. However, cognitive syndromes are fundamental aspects of AD and are the ultimate target of treatments. Accordingly, the study of cognitive syndromes should remain a major goal of AD research.

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of age-related hearing decline on functional networks using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). The main objective of the present study was to examine resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) and graph theory-based network efficiency metrics in 49 adults categorized by age and hearing thresholds to identify the neural mechanisms of age-related hearing decline.
Method: Forty-nine adults with self-reported normal hearing underwent pure-tone audiometry and rs-fMRI.
Statins in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Mechanisms, Resistance, and Precision Strategies for Neurovascular and Cognitive Protection.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.
