In the field of neuroscience, epilepsy has always been a disease of great concern, with significant challenges remaining in clinical research and treatment. Among these, the issue of secondary epileptogenesis has had a profound impact on academia and clinical treatment. Secondary epileptogenesis refers to the continuous spread of epileptic activity...

Gating of Social Behavior by Inhibitory Input from Hippocampal CA1 to Retrosplenial Agranular Cortex Background Social behavior is a fundamental requirement for mammalian survival and reproduction, requiring the perception of sensory information, processing of social relevance, and further integration in the prefrontal cortex. Neuropsychiatric diso...

The Sirtuin 5 Inhibitor MC3482 Ameliorates Microglia-Induced Neuroinflammation following Ischaemic Stroke by Upregulating the Succinylation Level of Annexin-A1 Background Ischaemic stroke is the most common type of stroke and a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Its pathogenesis is complex, involving processes such as oxidative stress...

Background Introduction Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, with the total number of stroke patients increasing globally due to population aging and urbanization. Although advances in treatment have reduced mortality rates, the number of survivors requiring rehabilitation has increased significantly. This is parti...

Neuroinflammation and Epilepsy: The Role of Inflammasomes in Traumatic Brain Injury Background and Purpose Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) refers to changes in brain function and pathology resulting from physical trauma to the head or neck.
