Sex-related brain connectivity correlates of compensation in adults with autism: insights into female protection

Melissa J. M. Walsh et al.

Summary: The study found that females with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit more compensatory behaviors to overcome social differences, which may be a protective mechanism. The brain connectivity patterns associated with camouflaging in ASD females were found to be both typical and atypical, with involvement of reward, emotion, and memory retrieval circuits. Additionally, female genetics and biology were suggested to contribute to the female-typical patterns observed in camouflaging.

The low glutamate diet improves cognitive functioning in veterans with Gulf War Illness and resting-state EEG potentially predicts response

Anna E. Kirkland et al.

Summary: The study tested the low glutamate diet as a novel treatment for cognitive dysfunction among those with GWI. Significant improvements were seen after one-month on the diet in overall cognitive functioning, and in all other domains tested, except for memory. Participants were clustered based on baseline resting-state EEG, showing three distinct EEG clusters with differential cognitive effects during challenge with monosodium glutamate (MSG).

Gulf War Illness: Mechanisms Underlying Brain Dysfunction and Promising Therapeutic Strategies

Brandon Dickey et al.

Summary: Gulf War Illness (GWI) is a chronic multisymptom health problem affecting about 30% of veterans from the first Gulf War. Impaired brain function is a significant symptom of GWI, with studies in both animal models and veterans pointing to mechanisms such as oxidative stress, inflammation, altered lipid metabolism, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Promising therapeutic strategies are being explored, including antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, although more research is needed to validate these findings.

Emerging role of glutamate in the pathophysiology and therapeutics of Gulf War illness

Xueqin Wang et al.

Summary: Gulf War Illness (GWI) is a chronic and multi-symptomatic disorder affecting veterans who served in the Gulf War, with symptoms including mood problems, cognitive impairment, and muscle and joint pain. Neurotoxic exposures and stress may be significant contributors to GWI development, with the glutamatergic system playing an important role in the pathophysiology of the disorder.

Effect of the low glutamate diet on inflammatory cytokines in veterans with Gulf War Illness (GWI): A pilot study

Kathleen F. Holton et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of a low glutamate diet on inflammatory cytokines in veterans with GWI. Findings showed that dietary adherence was significantly associated with reductions in TNF-alpha, while improvement on the PGIC scale was significantly linked to reduced IL-1 beta. Classification trees demonstrated that IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 can predict improvement on the diet with 76.5% accuracy.

Functional Connectivity of the Cognitive Cerebellum

Christophe Habas

Summary: Research has firmly established the major role of the (neo-)cerebellum in cognition and emotion, with the expansion of the associative cortices in the brain being associated with an increased number of interconnections with the neocerebellar cortex, especially lobule VII. This complex organization enables the neocerebellum to monitor and synchronize the main networks involved in cognition and emotion.
