Research Background γδ T cells play an important role in the immune system, particularly in protective immunity, homeostasis, and tissue repair. Unlike conventional αβ T cells, which are restricted by major histocompatibility complex (MHC), γδ T cells directly seed peripheral tissues and respond to various microbial stimuli without relying on MHC-p...

Language and Sensory Characteristics of Very Low Birth Weight Children in Response to Sound Background and Motivation Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) children face higher risks of cognitive developmental obstacles, including language deficits and sensory-motor difficulties. Previous studies have indicated that sound-evoked brain responses (P1m) can se...

Consensus Study Report on Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Background Introduction The incidence of epilepsy varies significantly across different age groups. According to the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), the highest incidence rates of epilepsy are found among those under 5 years old and over 65 years old (>60 per 100,000 people), with c...

Thalamocortical Connectivity Reduction in Rolandic Epilepsy Rolandic Epilepsy (RE), also known as self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SELECTS), is the most common localized developmental epileptic encephalopathy. This type of epilepsy is typically accompanied by transient mild to severe cognitive symptoms, sleep-related rolandic spike...

Childhood Gliomatosis Cerebri: A Poor Prognosis Phenotype of Diffuse Glioma with Distinct Molecular Characteristics Introduction Gliomatosis cerebri (GC) is a highly invasive form of diffuse glioma. It was initially discarded as an independent pathological type due to its indeterminate molecular characteristics. However, with the advancements in mo...

International Consensus on Resistance, Rebound, and Recurrence in Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma with MAPK Inhibition Therapy: Established Using a Modified Delphi Method Academic Background Pediatric low-grade glioma (PLGG) is the most common type of tumor in the central nervous system of children. Although these tumors have a relatively high overall s...

Analysis of Risk Factors Related to Specific Domain Neurocognitive Outcomes in Pediatric Survivors of Posterior Fossa Brain Tumors – HIT 2000 Trial Results Research Background Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in childhood, particularly central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Studies have shown that patients who receive craniospinal irradi...

Analyzing the Gene Expression Network in Developing Hippocampus from the Perspective of NEIL3 Deficiency Background The hippocampus, a crucial region of the brain, is well-regarded for its key roles in memory consolidation, information processing, and emotional regulation. In the field of neuroscience research, the gene regulatory mechanisms of the...

Low-intensity Ultrasound Promotes Brain Organoid Integration and Improves Microcephaly Defects Background of the Study Brain organoids are generated through the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and exhibit impressive cellular diversity, capable of mimicking functional networks similar to the human brain. These organoid methods hold ...

The Impact of High Phenylalanine Exposure on Brain Structure in Adult Phenylketonuria Patients Background Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare hereditary metabolic disorder characterized by a deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase, leading to elevated levels of phenylalanine (Phe) in the blood and brain. If Phe levels are not strictly controlled during...
