This case report describes a non-mosaic Turner-Syndrome individual with global cerebral atrophy, significant cognitive impairment, and severe treatment-resistant schizophrenia.

This review highlighted that childhood obesity is linked to early puberty and may impact brain function; however, there is a limited number of neuroimaging studies exploring the relationship between obesity, premature pubarche, and brain functionality, which warrants further research.

In this study, patients with alopecia areata showed altered hypothalamic activity and connectivity, which may be linked to the neurophysiological basis of psychological stress experienced by these patients, as assessed by functional MRI and correlated with neuropsychological evaluations.

In this study, patients with seasonal affective disorder were found to have increased functional connectivity in certain brain networks and higher low-frequency fluctuations compared to healthy controls, which aligns with their attentional and psychomotor symptoms.

This study found that patients with seasonal affective disorder exhibited increased functional connectivity in multiple brain networks and higher low-frequency activity in certain brain regions compared to healthy controls.

This study concluded that the GIANT brain atlas, which integrates genetic and neuroanatomical variations, provides a more accurate representation of brain structure than traditional neuroanatomical atlases, allowing for better exploration of genetic influences on the brain.

This study discusses the need for better organization and specialized services in Alzheimer's prevention, focusing on modifiable factors like hearing impairment, vascular risk, and lifestyle habits, and highlights challenges and opportunities from the two-year experience of Brain Health services at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden.

This case report details a 28-year-old male who developed trichotillomania following a traumatic brain injury, highlighting diagnostic challenges in distinguishing overlapping psychiatric and compulsive behaviors, and underscores the importance of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment approach.

This review discusses the use of supercritical carbon dioxide for extracting rice bran oil, noting its advantages over conventional methods for preserving nutrients and antioxidants, but provides no new experimental results.

This review addresses the effects of testosterone on brain development and examines both the established sex differences in brain functions and the debate surrounding structural dimorphism in neuropsychiatric conditions.

This study in mice demonstrated that stress or nerve growth factor injection increases sensory neuron activity related to skin innervation, suggesting a strong connection between stress perception and neurogenic skin inflammation.

This case report details a 56-year-old woman's diagnosis with an overlapping syndrome of dermatomyositis, systemic lupus, and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome, highlighted by purpura fulminans, treated successfully with immunosuppressants and plasmapheresis.

This research explores innovative methods to enhance drug delivery to the brain, including techniques like focal intra-arterial administration and temporary blood-brain barrier opening, aimed at improving treatment for brain disorders, the authors report.

In this study, lower dihydrotestosterone and higher testosterone levels were linked to increased brain activation during response inhibition, although no behavioral changes were detected.

In this study, researchers examined androgen receptor activity in the adult mouse brain and found specific expression in key brain areas, which could inform understanding of cognitive side effects in humans undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer.

This paper discusses the potential relationship between finasteride's adverse effects and factors like hand preference and sexual orientation, suggesting these could influence risk in male androgenic alopecia treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This paper discusses the adverse effects of finasteride, including sexual dysfunction and depression, and suggests that treatment customization based on individual factors like hand preference and sexual orientation could improve outcomes and reduce these side effects.

This review highlights the role of the brain–gut–skin axis in systemic inflammatory skin conditions, revealing potential interventions like microbiome-directed treatments and integrative therapies, though emphasizes the need for more robust clinical validation.

This study found that β-sitosterol, a brain-penetrable phytosterol, reduced melanoma cell growth and brain metastasis formation by interfering with mitochondrial respiration, suggesting its potential as an adjuvant therapy to BRAF inhibitors for patients with melanoma brain metastases.

This study found that in adolescent male rats, androgens enhance inhibitory avoidance memory, possibly by interacting with androgen receptors in the amygdala and hippocampus.

In this study, dermal papilla cells from rat vibrissae showed potential for treating CNS injuries by secreting neurotrophic factors and promoting neuronal differentiation more effectively than bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
