Magnetic Resonance-Guided Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy Rebalances Atypical Functional Hierarchy in Patients with Essential Tremor

Research Report: Reshaping Functional Hierarchies in Medication-Refractory Essential Tremor Through MRgFUS Therapy Essential tremor (ET), a prevalent movement disorder, is characterized by involuntary limb tremors, particularly noticeable during specific tasks. While traditional pharmacological treatments and deep brain stimulation (DBS) have shown...

Therapeutic Effects of Combination of Nebivolol and Donepezil: Targeting Multifactorial Mechanisms in ALS

Report on ALS Treatment Study: Exploring the Multifaceted Mechanisms of Nebivolol and Donepezil Background and Research Objectives Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease marked by progressive loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain, leading to severe muscle atrophy, functional decline, and eventual death...

Persistent NRG1 Type III Overexpression in Spinal Motor Neurons Has No Therapeutic Effect on ALS-Related Pathology in SOD1 G93A Mice

Background and Research Motivation Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease affecting upper and lower motor neurons, leading to progressive muscle paralysis and eventual death. Currently, no effective treatments can significantly delay or halt ALS progression. While various ALS mouse models (such as those carry...

Intravenous Administration of an AAV9 Vector Ubiquitously Expressing C1ORF194 Gene Improved CMT-like Neuropathy in C1ORF194-/- Mice

Research Report on the Improvement of CMT-like Neuropathy via AAV9 Vector-based C1ORF194 Gene Therapy Background and Research Motivation Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a rare group of genetically heterogeneous neuromuscular disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy, along with sensory loss. Despite extensive preclinic...

Frequency-Dependent Reduction of Cybersickness in Virtual Reality by Transcranial Oscillatory Stimulation of the Vestibular Cortex

Use of Transcranial Oscillatory Stimulation to Reduce Cybersickness in Virtual Reality Background and Motivation Virtual Reality (VR) technology is increasingly integrated into fields such as work, healthcare, and entertainment. However, approximately 95% of VR users experience symptoms known as Cybersickness (CS), characterized by nausea, dizzines...
