- Diversity trends in traumatic brain injury clinical trials in the United Statesby Asim Ahmed on May 17, 2024
CONCLUSION: Current TBI trials do not consistently report race or ethnicity data. Future efforts to ensure equitable representation in clinical trials may involve reform of recruitment processes and accountability measures implemented within the grant application process to ensure proper racial and ethnicity data reporting.

- A memory access gate controlled by dynamic contextsby Andrés Pomi on May 16, 2024
Temporary difficulties in accessing the contents of memories are a common experience in everyday life, for example, when we try to recognize a known person in an unusual context. In addition, recent experiments seem to indicate that retrograde amnesia in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease is due to disorders in accessing memories that were installed normally. These facts suggest the existence of an intermediate step between the stimulus arrival and the associative recognition. In this work,...
- Cholecystokinin B receptor agonists alleviates anterograde amnesia in cholecystokinin-deficient and aged Alzheimer's disease miceby Nan Zhang on May 15, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Here we provide more evidence to support the role of CCK in learning and memory and its potential to treat AD. We elaborated on the rescue effect of a promising novel drug, HT-267, on aged 3xTg AD mice. Although the physiological etiology of CCK in AD still needs to be further investigated, this study sheds light on a potential pharmaceutical candidate for AD and dementia.
