TL;DR: One individual presented with frontotemporal dementia, whereas his son has corticobasal degeneration, demonstrating that the same primary gene defect in tau can lead to 2 distinct clinical phenotypes.

TL;DR: Two patients with Parkinson's disease who developed clinical criteria of pathological gambling addiction in the setting of increased dopamine replacement therapy are described, and the possible therapeutic role of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) on such a disabling behavior needs to be investigated prospectively.

TL;DR: It is suggested that RPLS was associated with cerebral oedema without concomitant infarction, and the treatment of hypertension and neurotoxic condition such as uraemia appears of primary importance, while immunosuppressive treatment may cause further damage of the blood-brain barrier.

TL;DR: The results indicate the value of EEG in detection of epileptic activity in patients with acute catatonic syndrome, both at onset and in the course of such disturbance, particularly to provide a differential diagnosis between pseudo-seizures and neuroleptic-induced acute dystonia.

TL;DR: Clinicians are suggested to consider including an EEG in the diagnostic procedures of patients under treatment with clarithromycin who develop features of neurotoxicity because an EEG can help to differentiate patients with psychiatric illness from those with encephalopathy or epilepsy.
