Effect of Cerebrospinal Fluid Circulation on Nose-to-Brain Direct Delivery and Distribution of Caffeine in Rats.

TL;DR: It is suggested that fluid circulation in the brain can be contribute to wider cerebral distribution of the drug after direct delivery from nose to brain after intranasal administration.

Drug delivery to the brain via the nasal route of administration: exploration of key targets and major consideration factors

TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored the major considerations and target factors in drug delivery through the nasal-brain route based on physiological knowledge and formulation research information, which will help to provide a mechanistic understanding of drug delivery and bring us one step closer to developing effective formulations and drugs in consideration of the key factors for nasal brain drug delivery.

Epigenetic dysregulation of genes related to synaptic long-term depression among adolescents with depressive disorder and sleep symptoms

TL;DR: Among adolescents, depressive disorder with sleep symptoms is associated with a distinctive epigenetic pattern of DNA methylation in blood leukocytes, which emphasizes the role of sleep in synaptic plasticity and the widespread physiological consequences of disturbed sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enduring neuroimmunological consequences of developmental experiences: from vulnerability to resilience

TL;DR: The effects of negative and positive environmental experiences, especially during development, in programming the long-term functioning of the neuroimmune system and the sparse but growing literature on sex differences in neuroimmune development and response to environmental experiences are reviewed.
Book ChapterDOI

The intra-brain distribution of brain targeting delivery systems

TL;DR: A number of nanomaterial-based techniques, including cell-penetrating peptide-based permeation-enhancing strategy and receptor-mediated targeting delivery, which have been widely explored to improving the delivery efficiency of brain drugs, are discussed in the second part of this chapter.

Fate Mapping Analysis Reveals That Adult Microglia Derive from Primitive Macrophages

TL;DR: Results identify microglia as an ontogenically distinct population in the mononuclear phagocyte system and have implications for the use of embryonically derived microglial progenitors for the treatment of various brain disorders.

The amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease at 25 years

TL;DR: In a recent study, this article showed that low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Aβ42 and amyloid-PET positivity precede other AD manifestations by many years.
Journal ArticleDOI

A paravascular pathway facilitates CSF flow through the brain parenchyma and the clearance of interstitial solutes, including amyloid β.

TL;DR: An anatomically distinct clearing system in the brain that serves a lymphatic-like function is described and may have relevance for understanding or treating neurodegenerative diseases that involve the mis-accumulation of soluble proteins, such as amyloid β in Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunization with amyloid-beta attenuates Alzheimer-disease-like pathology in the PDAPP mouse.

TL;DR: It is reported that immunization of the young animals essentially prevented the development of β-amyloid-plaque formation, neuritic dystrophy and astrogliosis, and treatment of the older animals markedly reduced the extent and progression of these AD-like neuropathologies.

Sleep Drives Metabolite Clearance From the Adult Brain

TL;DR: It is reported that sleep has a critical function in ensuring metabolic homeostasis and convective fluxes of interstitial fluid increased the rate of β-amyloid clearance during sleep, suggesting the restorative function of sleep may be a consequence of the enhanced removal of potentially neurotoxic waste products that accumulate in the awake central nervous system.
