Article Abstract
A growing body of research highlights the positive impact of regular physical activity on improving physical and mental health. On the other hand, physical inactivity is one of the leading risk factors for noncommunicable diseases and death worldwide. Exercise profoundly impacts various body districts, including the central nervous system. Here, overwhelming evidence exists that physical exercise affects neurons and glial cells, by promoting their interaction. Physical exercise directly acts on ependymal cells by promoting their proliferation and activation, maintaing brain homeostasis in healthy animals and promote locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury. This review aims to describe the main anatomical characteristics and functions of ependymal cells and provide an overview of the effects of different types of physical exercise on glial cells, focusing on the ependymal cells.

Imaging cellular activity simultaneously across all organs of a vertebrate reveals body-wide circuits.

All cells in an animal collectively ensure, moment-to-moment, the survival of the whole organism in the face of environmental stressors. Physiology seeks to elucidate the intricate network of interactions that sustain life, which often span multiple organs, cell types, and timescales, but a major challenge lies in the inability to simultaneously record time-varying cellular activity throughout the entire body. We developed WHOLISTIC, a method to image second-timescale, time-varying intracellular dynamics across cell-types of the vertebrate body.

Background: Ependymomas are primary CNS neoplasms that arise from the ependymal cells of the brain and spinal cord, accounting for 3-6% of all CNS tumors.
Aims: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of ependymoma survival patterns and examines non-cancer causes of death in the US.
Methods: This retrospective study used data from SEER 17 registries between 2000 and 2019 to evaluate the incidence of ependymoma, as well as the survival and mortality trends in the US.
Heterogeneity of the adult mammalian forebrain neurogenic ependyma: a comprehensive cellular map.

The presence or absence of adult neural stem cells in the mammalian forebrain ependyma has been debated for two decades. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate the cellular composition of the ependymal surface of the adult mouse forebrain using whole mounts of lateral walls of lateral ventricles. We identified 12 different cell subtypes in the ependymal surface.

The filum terminale (FT) remains poorly characterized in the veterinary literature, limiting understanding of its role in spinal cord and nerve root pathologies such as tethered cord syndrome. This study aimed to establish baseline anatomical and histological features of the FT in neurologically normal dogs. Eight adult canine cadavers euthanized for non-neurological reasons were examined.

Background: Pain and sickness behaviors can be elicited by systemic inflammation. We sought to determine if mature rats displayed these behaviors following overuse injury and whether they correlated with inflammatory cytokines in musculoskeletal tissues, circulation, and the brain.
Methods: Mature female Sprague-Dawley rats were used: 26 controls and 41 rats trained across 6 weeks to pull at high force levels.
