Article Abstract
Neonatal brain tumors (NBTs) are rare, with specific characteristics distinguishing them from tumors in older children. NBTs occur in the first 28 days of life with a low incidence rate. They present unique histological features, with teratomas and gliomas being the most relevant types of NBTs. The most common clinical finding is macrocephaly and hydrocephaly, but non-specific symptoms can also occur. Researchers illustrated multiple risk factors predominantly carcinogens and genetic factors. Managing these tumors is challenging, with surgery being the gold standard for treatment whereas the use of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is risky with this age group. Thus, balancing between aggressive intervention and adverse effects is crucial. This review will be relevant to clinicians and researchers interested in understanding the epidemiology, classification, clinical features, diagnostic features, and management options of NBTs.

Postnatal interaction of size and shape in the human endocranium and brain structures.

The uniqueness of human brain growth and development has been considered promising for its contribution to understanding the origins of the unique human cognitive abilities. Compared with that of chimpanzees, the human endocranium undergoes several characteristic shape changes immediately after birth, which has been termed "endocranial globularization." However, how the brain structures and surrounding neurocranium interact with each other during early development in the context of brain-neurocranium integration remains to be investigated.

In this edition of Gene's "Editor's Corner" we summarize the complex interactions of different molecular mechanisms behind the pathogenesis of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The topic is relevant, as the therapeutic options for HIE are limited, it is important to have as much knowledge as possible about the molecular processes underlying the disease. In the recent issue of Gene (Gene 952, 2025, 149363), Wang et al.

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a significant cause of developmental disorders and permanent central nervous system damage, with functional recovery closely linked to myelin sheath integrity. This study aimed to analyze the expression of pH and the voltage-gated proton channel (Hv1) in the brains of neonatal pigs with HIE at various time points, alongside changes in myelin-related proteins. MRI was employed to localize the basal ganglia and assess pH changes post-hypoxia-ischemia, while immunofluorescence staining was used to evaluate Hv1, myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG).

The Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a major global health problem, with increased risk among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. We propose SIDS, or a subset, is due to a defect in the brainstem serotonin system mediating cardiorespiratory integration and arousal. This defect impinges on homeostasis during a critical developmental period in infancy, especially in populations experiencing maternal and infantile stress, resulting in sleep-related sudden death.
