Comorbidity of ketamine dependence with major depressive disorder increases the vulnerability to neuroaxonal pathology

Ming-Chyi Huang et al.

Summary: We found that patients with ketamine dependence (KD) who also had major depressive disorder (MDD) had significantly higher levels of neurofilament light chain (NfL), indicating active neuroaxonal pathology. However, it was uncertain whether the NfL elevation was caused by the interaction of KD with MDD or by MDD itself. To clarify this, we compared serum NfL levels in different groups and found that the KD with MDD group had the highest NfL levels, suggesting that the interaction of KD with MDD, rather than MDD alone, leads to increased vulnerability to neuroaxonal pathology.

Impact of alcohol exposure on neural development and network formation in human cortical organoids

Jason W. Adams et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on neurodevelopment using human cortical organoids and fetal neurons. They found that alcohol exposure had time-dependent effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle, and cell apoptosis. It also led to alterations in histone modifications and chromatin accessibility, affecting cAMP and calcium signaling, synaptic development, and astrocytic function. Furthermore, alcohol exposure resulted in changes in cytoskeleton, gliogenesis, and impaired synaptogenesis, leading to detrimental effects on neural network formation and activity.

Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy and Psychedelic Science: A Review and Perspective on Opportunities in Neurosurgery and Neuro-Oncology

Daniel F. Kelly et al.

Summary: After a long pause, psychedelics are being investigated intensively again for treating various neuropsychiatric ailments. Classic and nonclassic psychedelics are appreciated for their neuroplastic potential and their ability to alter mood and behavior beyond measurable exposure. Imaging studies are also contributing to our understanding of neural networks. This resurgence in psychedelic science and therapy holds potential significance for neurosurgery and neuro-oncology, offering new treatments for patients with mental health issues and poor quality of life. This review aims to encourage multidisciplinary collaboration and explore the healing potential of psychedelics.

Antidepressant-like effect of CP-101,606: Evidence of mTOR pathway activation

Yu Qin et al.

Summary: This study investigated whether the selective NR2B receptor inhibitor CP-101,606 provides similar antidepressant effects as ketamine. The results showed that CP-101,606 can ameliorate depressive-like behaviors in mice and may be mediated by the upregulation of the mTOR signaling cascade, suggesting its potential utility as a treatment for depression.

Summary: Doxorubicin-induced neurotoxicity has been widely reported, and oxidative stress plays a critical role in this process. Curcumin has been shown to alleviate depressive-like state by mitigating oxidative stress and activating Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway. However, the exact mechanism of Curcumin in alleviating Doxorubicin-induced neurotoxicity is still unknown.

Summary: The study aims to explore the underlying antidepressant mechanism of Xiaoyao Pills (XYPs) through in vivo and in vitro experiments. The results show that XYPs can exert antidepressant effects by influencing the hydrolysis of fatty acids amide in the brain, and the metabolites of XYPs can inhibit the levels of FAAH in the brain, which contributes to their antidepressant effect.

Acute and long-term effects of adolescence stress exposure on rodent adult hippocampal neurogenesis, cognition, and behaviour

Alessandra Borsini et al.

Summary: Adolescence is a critical period for brain and behavioral health, with increased vulnerability to mood, psychotic, and anxiety disorders. Stress-related changes in hippocampal neurogenesis during adolescence may play a role in the onset of psychiatric symptoms. This systematic review identified studies showing reduced hippocampal cell proliferation, neuroplasticity, cognitive impairments, and depressive-like behaviors in adolescent rodents exposed to stress. Treating adolescent mice with antidepressants and other interventions prevented or reversed these changes, highlighting potential therapeutic strategies.

Longitudinal effects of ketamine on cell proliferation and death in the CNS of zebrafish

C. Santosa et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effects of ketamine administration at the 1-4 somites stage, both in subanesthetic and anesthetic concentrations, in brain cellular proliferation, pluripotency, and death mechanisms in place during early and adult neurogenesis. The results showed that the main alterations occurred in 144 hpf larvae, namely in autophagy and cellular proliferation at the highest concentration of ketamine (0.8 mg/mL). However, in adults, no significant alterations were seen, pointing to a return to a homeostatic stage. This study clarified some aspects of the longitudinal effects of ketamine administration on the CNS capacity to proliferate and activate appropriate cell death and repair mechanisms leading to homeostasis in zebrafish, providing promising results in this research field.

Major Depression and Its Recurrences: Life Course Matters

Scott M. Monroe et al.

Summary: Major depression is a common and debilitating condition that affects individuals and public health worldwide. However, not all individuals with depression experience the same level of burden, as some will have recurrent episodes while others will not. This study proposes a subtype distinction to understand the origins and lifetime course of major depression. The lack of recognition of this distinction has hindered research and led to conceptual biases and methodological oversights. The implications of this research are discussed in terms of diagnostic controversies, treatment and prevention approaches, and improving the predictive strength of indicators for recurrences and recurrent depression.

Transcription Factor 4 loss-of-function is associated with deficits in progenitor proliferation and cortical neuron content

Fabio Papes et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of pathological TCF4 mutations on human neural tissue by deriving neural cells and brain organoids from patients with Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome. The authors demonstrate impaired proliferation and differentiation in neural cells bearing TCF4 mutations and identify the underlying mechanism involving decreased Wnt signaling and reduced expression of SOX genes. They also show reduced cortical neuron content and impaired electrical activity in patient-derived organoids, which could be rescued by correcting TCF4 expression or modulating Wnt signaling pharmacologically.

Transcriptional Activation, Deactivation and Rebound Patterns in Cortex, Hippocampus and Amygdala in Response to Ketamine Infusion in Rats

Jenny J. Kim et al.

Summary: This study investigates the molecular pharmacological effects of ketamine in rats and finds that ketamine can stimulate neuronal transcription processes, leading to sustained modulation of regional excitation and plasticity in the brain. It also suggests that the administration of ketamine may result in an overshoot of transcriptional processes and an oscillation of plasticity during the transition to a new phase of neuronal regulation.

Summary: Ki-67 is a cell proliferation biomarker widely used in histopathology. Although its expression and localization throughout the cell cycle have been well characterized, its function and molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Recent studies have revealed that Ki-67 plays important roles in localizing nucleolar material to the mitotic chromosome periphery and structuring perinucleolar heterochromatin, and it is also implicated in cancer development. However, its mechanisms of action remain unclear.

Summary: Obesity is associated with behavioral changes such as cognitive decline and depression, with saponins from panax japonicus showing anti-inflammatory effects in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. The study found that obese mice exhibited behavioral disturbances, neuroinflammation, and neuronal degeneration, which were partly linked to NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Treatment with SPJ alleviated the cognitive impairment and depression-like behaviors induced by high fat diet by suppressing neuroinflammation and modulating AMPA receptors signaling pathway.
