Neurophysiological Effects of Deep Dry Needling on Spinal Reflexes Academic Background Deep Dry Needling (DDN) is a commonly used method for treating muscle trigger points (TrPs), particularly in patients with neuromuscular pain and spasticity. Although DDN is widely used in clinical practice, its neurophysiological mechanisms are not yet fully und...

Recovery from Spreading Depolarization is Slowed by Aging and Accelerated by Antioxidant Treatment in Locusts

The Impact of Aging and Antioxidants on the Recovery from Spreading Depolarization in Locusts Academic Background Spreading Depolarization (SD) is a phenomenon that temporarily shuts down neural processing in both mammals and insects. In humans, SD is associated with various pathological states, such as migraine aura and neuronal death following tr...

Perisaccadic Perceptual Mislocalization Strength Depends on the Visual Appearance of Saccade Targets

perisaccadic mislocalization   visual processing   spatial frequency   superior colliculus   perceptual stability  

New Findings in Visual Perception and Eye Movement Research Background Introduction In daily life, despite the constant rapid eye movements (known as saccades), we are still able to perceive a stable visual environment. This stability is achieved through the integration of information by the visual system during saccades. However, the mechanisms of...

Impact of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists on Axonal Function in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Academic Background Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common complications in patients with type 2 diabetes worldwide, affecting approximately 50% of diabetic patients. The main symptoms of DPN include neuropathic pain, numbness, and in seve...

Isorhamnetin Ameliorates Dopaminergic Neuronal Damage via Targeting FOSL1 to Activate AKT/mTOR in 6-OHDA-Induced SH-SY5Y Cells

Isorhamnetin Ameliorates 6-OHDA-Induced SH-SY5Y Cell Damage by Targeting FosL1 to Activate the Akt/mTOR Pathway Academic Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta (SNpc). This neuronal loss is closely associated with mitochondri...
