- In Silico Pharmacogenomic Assessment of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 (GLP1) Agonists and the Genetic Addiction Risk Score (GARS) Related Pathways: Implications for Suicide Ideation and Substance Use Disorderby Alireza Sharafshah on January 27, 2025
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that associated polymorphisms seem to have overlapping effects with addictive behaviors of Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) and dopamine regulation. Consequently, GLP1R agonists may represent a double-edged sword, potentially triggering both antiaddictive effects and SI by exacerbating depressive phenotypes. Thus, we encourage the scientific community to perform further empirical clinical studies to confirm this proposed pathway.
- Brain Stimulation Techniques in Research and Clinical Practice: A Comprehensive Review of Applications and Therapeutic Potential in Parkinson's Diseaseby Ata Jahangir Moshayedi on January 24, 2025
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a range of motor and non-motor symptoms (NMSs) that significantly impact patients' quality of life. This review aims to synthesize the current literature on the application of brain stimulation techniques, including non-invasive methods such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (tFUS), and transcutaneous vagus nerve...
- Exploring the impact of deleterious missense nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in the DRD4 gene using computational approachesby Dipto Kumer Sarker on January 24, 2025
Dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) plays a vital role in regulating various physiological functions, including attention, impulse control, and sleep, as well as being associated with various neurological diseases, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, novelty seeking, and so on. However, a comprehensive analysis of harmful nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) of the DRD4 gene and their effects remains unexplored. The aim of this study is to uncover novel damaging...
- Vestibular function in children with neurodevelopmental disorders: A neglected sense?by Ruth Van Hecke on January 23, 2025
CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians are encouraged to recognize the overlap and consider the possibility of vestibular alterations in individuals with NDD.
