- Deep brain stimulation in progressive supranuclear palsy: a dead-end story? A narrative reviewby Gabriele Bellini on March 24, 2025
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare, debilitating neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impairs both motor and cognitive functions. Current pharmacological treatments offer only transient symptomatic relief, driving interest in the past in alternative therapeutic strategies such as deep brain stimulation. Deep brain stimulation (DBS), known for its success in treating motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease, has been explored as a possible symptomatic treatment for PSP,...

- Abnormal Functional Connectivity of the Primary Sensory Network in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Sex Differences, Early Overdevelopment, and Clinical Significanceby Yanan Zhang on March 24, 2025
CONCLUSION: Abnormal FC exists in the primary sensory cortex of patients with ASD, which correlates with clinical outcomes and may cause impairments in advanced cognitive functions. In addition, the primary sensory cortex of patients with ASD may undergo excessive growth in the early stages and demonstrate imbalanced development according to sex. These findings may help identify new biomarkers for ASD.
