This review discusses the psychological and neurobiological aspects of trichotillomania and reports no new results, emphasizing the need for further research on its treatment and neural mechanisms.

This study developed a novel mouse model of catamenial epilepsy by manipulating neurosteroid levels and demonstrated that withdrawal increases seizure susceptibility, potentially linked to changes in GABAA receptor-subunit plasticity.

This study found that nuclear androgen receptors are not necessary for androgen self-administration, suggesting that plasma membrane receptors might be involved.

This study found that in male rat hippocampal slices, DHT is necessary for low frequency stimulation-induced long-term depression, while E2 synthesis is essential for high frequency stimulation-induced long-term potentiation.

This research observed that 5α-reductase inhibitors showed significant tic-suppressing effects in Tourette's syndrome, suggesting a key role for this enzyme in the disorder's pathogenesis.

The researchers reported that metabolism of progesterone to 3α,5α-THP in the hippocampus is important for its antiseizure effects in ovariectomized rats.

Neurosteroids in the brain can increase or decrease seizure risk in mice.

In this study, inhibition of neurosteroid synthesis after inducing status epilepticus in rats led to acute seizures and accelerated the onset of epilepsy, suggesting a role for δ-GABAR plasticity in epileptogenesis.

This study suggests that extrasynaptic δGABA-A receptors may have a protective role in modulating the severity of catamenial-like seizures by influencing neurosteroid and benzodiazepine responses in mice.

This study found that adults with trichotillomania or skin picking disorder experienced significantly poorer sleep quality, which was linked to various factors including age, stress, distress tolerance, impulsivity, and comorbid mental disorders.

This study found that celery supplementation improved cognition and behavioral disorders in LPS-exposed mouse offspring by increasing levels of dopamine, acetylcholinesterase, and serotonin in the forebrain.

In this study, fMRI results suggested that mechanical stimulation evoked a stronger prickle sensation comprising both pain and itch on hairy skin compared to glabrous skin.

This review discusses the structural properties, pharmacological effects, and clinical applications of neurotoxins on synapses, reporting no new experimental results.

This study found that progesterone and its metabolite, allopregnanolone, provided anti-anxiety and anti-depressive effects in female mice, potentially independent of nuclear progestin receptors but requiring 5α-reduction and estradiol's influence on brain-derived neurotrophic factor.

In this study, the authors suggest that patient safety with isotretinoin in Palestine can be improved by adapting pharmacy and medical practice protocols to better educate patients and ensure adherence to safety monitoring and laboratory ordering.

This review discusses the off-label use of SSRIs to manage inappropriate sexual behavior in elderly dementia patients and highlights the unclear risk of post-SSRI sexual dysfunction, noting a need for high-quality clinical trials.

In this review, researchers explored hair as a promising tool for identifying biomarkers in schizophrenia, highlighting its potential for supporting personalized medicine through ease of sampling, though acknowledging challenges like individual variability and methodological inconsistencies.

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.

This review discusses non-motor symptoms in patients with thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis, suggesting these symptoms, which can be treatable, often go overlooked despite affecting multiple organs.

This study utilized a mouse model of traumatic brain injury to reveal that acute neurotrauma triggers widespread lipid metabolism reprogramming and storage lipid accumulation in microglial and monocyte populations, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, inhibited autophagy, and exacerbated inflammation through a pathological feedback loop.

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

This review discusses how the CRH/POMC systems may regulate human hair follicle pigmentation and highlights the concept of "self-similarity" in melanocortin systems at both local and systemic levels, without presenting new experimental results.

This review synthesizes the diverse roles of the transcription factor LHX2 in development, tissue maintenance, and injury repair across various organ systems, highlighting its potential therapeutic applications and significance in regenerative medicine, particularly in developmental disorders and tissue regeneration.

In this study, researchers found that estrogens activate and androgens inhibit brown adipose tissue thermogenesis via the VMH, affecting energy balance and suggesting targets for treating cachexia and obesity.

This study found that in early retinal neurogenesis in mice, the transcription factor Lhx2 regulates Sonic Hedgehog signaling by controlling expression of pathway genes like the co-receptors Gas1 and Cdon.

This study found that neurosteroids can reorganize GABA A receptors in mice, mimicking ovarian cycle changes, with the process being mediated by neurosteroid levels rather than direct hormone receptor activation.

This review offers transgender hormone treatment guidelines to assist healthcare providers in improving transgender patients' access to and outcomes of medical care, but it reports no new clinical results.

Finasteride blocks deoxycorticosterone's anticonvulsant effects in infant rats, but indomethacin doesn't.

This study found that LepRb neurons in the brain are important targets for androgen action and influence sex-specific differences in reproductive and metabolic regulation, implicating them in conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome.

This article discusses the potential role of a local skin POMC system in the murine hair cycle and cutaneous stress responses, with no new results presented.
