Lipocalin-2-expressing red pulp macrophages link ischemic stroke to systemic immune reprogramming in mice and humans

Splenic Lcn2 is induced biphasically after mouse stroke and localizes to red pulp macrophages; recombinant LCN2 induces T cell and monocyte hyporesponsiveness and monocyte phagocytosis-ROS uncoupling, with human spleen support.

Does Pre-Sensorimotor Brain Activity Modulate TMS-Evoked Potentials?

This study investigates how pre-sensorimotor brain activity affects TMS-evoked potentials during motor imagery, finding that trial-by-trial variability in brain states influences TEP amplitudes.

Predicting Brain Volumes from Anthropometric and Demographic Features: Insights from UK Biobank Neuroimaging Data

The paper predicts brain volumes from anthropometric and demographic features using UK Biobank data, finding strong sex-based predictions for TIV and age-based predictions for other volumes.

Ischemic stroke induces persistent alteration to brain stromal progenitor cells linked to chronic vascular dysfunction

This study shows ischemic stroke causes long-term changes in brain stromal progenitor cells, leading to vascular dysfunction and potential recurrent stroke.

Proportional recovery in mice with cortical stroke

This study applies the Proportional Recovery Rule to mice with cortical stroke, finding two recovery clusters and higher recovery in one cluster compared to human studies.

AutoGaitA: A versatile quantitative framework for kinematic analyses across species, perturbations and behaviours

AutoGaitA provides a framework for analyzing motor programs across species and behaviors, showing age-related loss of propulsive strength and task-dependent adaptations in mice.
