      First paper highlighting the physiological causes of neurodegeneration in Multiple Sclerosis MS. Authors have mentioned that disturbed microcirculation in jugular vein (due to pressure changes), leads to CCSVI, subsequent iron depositions in cerebrospinal region and lost neuronal motor function. The authors had actually shown in patients that corrective surgery has tremendous capacity to restores motor function in almost paralyzed MS patients.

      Unless the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms which are involved in the axonal regeneration post-SCI are critically deciphered, it would not lead to a substantial long-term functional recovery in the patients,despite supportive and rehabilitative strategies.

      The paper presented a reliable immuno-diagnostic tool - Lymphocyte transformation Test (LTT), whose efficacy must be validated in other NCC endemic areas. As availability of neuroimaging tools are restricted in developing areas, LTT can be used as the substitute.

  • Japanese Encephalitis virus infects neural progenitor cells and decreases their proliferation

    • Sulagna Das, Anirban Basu

      Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a common cause of encephalitis in humans, especially in children, leads to substantial neuronal injury. The survivors of JEV infection have severe cognitive impairment, motor and behavioral disorders. This paper hypothesizes that depletion of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) by the virus culminates in neurological sequelae in survivors of Japanese encephalitis (JE). It utilizes both in vivo model of JEV infection and in vitro neurosphere cultures to study progressive JEV infection. Cellular infection and cell death was determined by Flow cytometry. BrdU administration in animals and in neurospheres was used to determine the proliferative ability of NPCs. JEV leads to massive loss of actively proliferating NPC population from the subventricular zone (SVZ). The ability of JEV infected subventricular zone cells to form neurospheres is severely compromised. This can be attributed to JEV infection in NPCs, which however do not result in robust death of the resilient NPC cells. Instead, JEV suppresses the cycling ability of these cells, preventing their proliferation. JEV primarily targets at a critical post natal age and severely diminishes the NPC pool in SVZ, thus impairing the process of recovery after the insult. This arrested growth and proliferation of NPCs might have an effect on the neurological consequences in JE survivors.

      This research provides insight into the spatial dimension of smell and the speed at which the brain operates.

      This is the first time its shown in olfactory bulb how the neuronal (mitral/tufted cells) response changes in the brain in response to morphing stimuli and how this is achieved using attractor states.
