This abstract provides no clinical results; it describes terms and navigation options for the JAMA network and its publications.

This study hypothesized that finasteride administration may increase stress-induced amphetamine locomotor sensitization due to its impact on brain reward systems involving the neurosteroid allopregnanolone.

The authors concluded that some patients clinically diagnosed with telogen effluvium may actually have alopecia areata incognita, suggested by the presence of dystrophic hairs and development of alopecia patches.

This study identified a new clinical variant of adult adrenomyeloneuropathy characterized by hypoplasia and agenesis of the corpus callosum, associated with a novel ABCD1 gene mutation.

In this study, patients with alopecia areata were found to have a higher risk of stroke over a 3-year follow-up period compared to those without the condition.

Neonatal neurosteroid levels affect adult brain function and behavior.

This article discusses the challenges of treating androgenetic alopecia due to limited approved medications, potential side effects, and unmet expectations and reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses a case of patchy alopecia areata that spares greying hairs but reports no new findings; it refers to existing literature for context.

This article responds to "The Assessment and Treatment of Geezers" by highlighting that some individuals protest against perceived self-importance and verbosity despite fitting the geezer definition.

A patient's skin rash did not affect the area where a previous viral rash was healing, suggesting a rare immune response.

The researchers reported that a child with epilepsy developed encephalopathy after an asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, confirmed by clinical and laboratory assessments showing post-COVID19 effects.

In this study, irradiation with different ionizing particles in rabbit forebrains showed that higher LET values accelerated early expression and late deterioration of forebrain damage.

This study found no significant difference in psychological stress between males with and without androgenetic alopecia. Social and cultural factors might influence perceptions of alopecia's impact.

This report describes two cases of postoperative alopecia following oral surgery, highlighting potential risk factors such as head positioning and prolonged operative time, and suggests prevention strategies.

This study found that prolonged administration of DHEA improved long-term memory and brain activity balance in old rhesus macaques, with effects like increased motor activity and restored hair lasting a year.

This report highlights a case where a woman's use of the dopamine agonist pramipexole for Parkinson's disease was associated with hair loss, which improved after discontinuing the drug.

Polyethylene alanine caused hair loss in young lab animals but not in adults, with hair regrowth occurring within 20 days.

This article discusses the characteristics of alopecia areata but reports no new research results.

This study found that in SAMP8 mice, phenotypic changes in outer hair cells or the stria vascularis, possibly due to oxidative deficiencies, may predict variability in age-related hearing loss before outer hair cell loss occurs.

This study in neonatal rats found that inhibiting neurosteroid synthesis with finasteride unexpectedly reduced the severity and duration of neonatal seizures following birth asphyxia, maintained cognitive functions, but increased anxiety-like behaviors, highlighting a complex role of neurosteroids in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy outcomes.

In this case study, researchers observed that gabapentin may cause alopecia, as a patient developed significant hair loss shortly after starting the medication for neuropathic pain, which reversed upon discontinuation.

This study found that finasteride impaired object recognition memory and altered hippocampal dendritic structures in male 3xTg-AD mice, suggesting potential sex differences in Alzheimer's disease pathology.

This discussion highlights that alopecia areata incognita is challenging to diagnose and treat, with systemic corticosteroids potentially leading to remission when local treatments fail.
