Article Abstract
Fluctuations in cerebral blood volume (CBV) are a dominant mechanism aiding cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) movement in the brain during wakefulness and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. However, it is unclear if the amplitudes of CBV oscillations also change in proportion to the changes in amplitude of CSF movement across specific NREM sleep states. It is also not known if the coupling strength between them varies between NREM sleep states. To investigate these relationships, we measured cerebral hemodynamics and craniad CSF movement at the fourth ventricle simultaneously during wakefulness and NREM sleep states using concurrent Electroencephalography and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. We found that the amplitude fluctuations of cerebral hemodynamics and CSF oscillations desynchronize from one another only during deep NREM3 state, despite the strong mechanical coupling between CBV changes and CSF movement, which was consistent across all states. This suggests the existence of a different mechanism, linked to the cortical interstitial volume/resistance change, that regulates the NREM3 CSF inflow into the brain.

A pediatric case of anti-GABAR encephalitis: case report and literature review.
Front Pediatr
August 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China.
Background And Objective: This study aims to analyze the clinical characteristics of anti-GABAR encephalitis in pediatric patients. Due to its rarity and diagnostic challenges in children, we compare clinical features between adult and pediatric cases.
Materials And Methods: Using the key words "anti-GABAR encephalitis, children, autoimmune encephalitis, limbic encephalitis", we conduct a comprehensive literature review of all studies related to anti-GABAR encephalitis published from January 2010 to January 2024.
REM Density, Leg Movements, and REM Sleep without Atonia: Differentiating Type 1 from Type 2 Narcolepsy Through Polysomnographic Analysis, a Preliminary Study.
Nat Sci Sleep
September 2025
Department of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University and Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital, Jinan, Shandong, People's Republic of China.
Objective: This study aimed to identify distinct REM sleep characteristics that differentiate type 1 narcolepsy (NT1) from type 2 narcolepsy (NT2) using polysomnography (PSG), while acknowledging the need for future validation against other hypersomnia disorders.
Methods: A retrospective review included 31 patients with NT1, 21 patients with NT2, and 24 healthy participants. Each participant underwent overnight PSG and a subsequent multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) to assess REM sleep parameters including average REM density, neck myoclonus index, and leg movement index.
Computational Fluid Dynamic Model Prediction of Enhanced Glymphatic Clearance in Response to Focused Ultrasound-Mediated Blood-Brain Barrier Opening.

Focused Ultrasound (FUS) is the concentration of acoustic energy into a small region to produce therapeutic bioeffects. FUS-induced blood-brain barrier opening (BBBO), a strategy to deliver drugs and genes to the brain, also enhances glymphatic drainage, the brain-specific waste clearance system. Thus, FUS BBBO is a promising strategy for addressing the accumulation of neurotoxic solutes that are characteristic of many neurodegenerative diseases.

J Neurol Surg B Skull Base
October 2025
Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, University of California, Irvine, Orange, California, United States.
Objective: Postoperative constipation in endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) may provoke undesired straining, which, in theory, may create intracranial pressure shifts and impact skull base reconstruction. The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence and contributing factors to postoperative constipation after ESBS, and whether this impacts reconstructive outcomes.
Methods: Patients undergoing ESBS between July 2018 and December 2022 at a single-center, tertiary academic skull base surgery program were retrospectively reviewed.
CSF Mitochondrial DNA: Biomarker of Body Composition and Energy Metabolism in Parkinson's Disease.
Ann Clin Transl Neurol
September 2025
Department of Neurology, Fujita Health University School of Medicine, Toyoake, Aichi, Japan.
Objective: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA) is a potential biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD), but its clinical relevance remains unclear. We investigated associations between CSF cf-mtDNA levels, body composition, nutritional status, and metabolic biomarkers in PD.
Methods: CSF cf-mtDNA levels, defined as the copy numbers of two regions of the mtDNA circular molecule (mt64-ND1 and mt96-ND5), were quantified in 44 PD patients and 43 controls using multiplex digital PCR.
