Identification of Binding Partners of Deafness-Related Protein PDZD7 by Haibo Du, Rui Ren, Panpan Chen, Zhigang Xu, Yanfei Wang

“…We confirmed the expression of one candidate PDZD7-binding protein, CADM1, in the mouse inner ear and evaluated the auditory function of Cadm1 knockout mice by performing auditory brainstem response (ABR) measurement. Unexpectedly, Cadm1 knockout mice show normal hearing threshold, which might be explained by the possible compensation by its homologs that are also expressed in the inner ear. …”

Wilson’s Disease: Diagnosis of Wilson’s Disease in Ethiopian Young Sisters by Nebiyu Bekele, Frew Ewnetu, Tigest Hailu, Zerubabel Tegegne, Abilo Tadesse

“…Both siblings had visible ocular Kayser–Fleischer rings, low serum ceruloplasmin level and increased urinary copper content, ultrasound-evidenced cirrhotic liver disease, and axial T2-weighted MRI hyperintensities in basal ganglia, thalamus, and brainstem (midbrain and pons). Diagnosis of Wilson’s disease was established in both patients using a diagnostic scoring system proposed by “8th International Meeting on Wilson Disease and Menkes Disease, Leipzig (2001).” …”

Generalized Extension of Referred Trigeminal Pain due to Greater Occipital Nerve Entrapment by Jung-woo Hyung, Byung-chul Son

“…Another speculation is that spontaneous pain may occur throughout the body due to dysfunction of the descending brain stem pain-modulating pathway by sensitization and hyperexcitation of the MDH and trigeminal brainstem sensory nuclear complex (TBSNC).…”

Advance in Different Modes of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Rehabilitation of Dysphagia after Stroke by Jiahui TAI, Junfa WU, Tingwei WANG, Yi WU

“…It is generally believed that dysphagia after stroke is related to the lesions of cerebral cortex, subcortical structures and brainstem swallowing center. There are significant differences in the mechanism and clinical manifestations of dysphagia caused by different lesion sites. …”

Reduced Gain and Shortened Time Constant of Vestibular Velocity Storage as a Source of Balance and Movement Sensitivities in Gravitational Insecurity by Michael Potegal, Teresa A. May-Benson, Sara Oxborough, Amy Hall, Stefanie McKnight

“…We tested whether balance symptoms in mild GrI might involve anomalies in vestibular velocity storage (VVS), a brainstem/cerebellar circuit that amplifies gain and prolongs the persistence of weak vestibular signals from small/slow head movements. …”

It Takes a Village: The Importance of Neuropsychological Findings in a Collaborative Approach for a Patient with Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome and Specific Phobia by Sarah Hamill Skoch, Bo Fu, Amanda L. Stein, Samuel P. Greenstein

“…Patients with CCHS exhibit neurocognitive deficits due to structural abnormalities in the brainstem, cerebellum, and forebrain. Due to the potential for repeated hypoxemia and hypercarbia among patients with CCHS, neurocognitive functioning is often impaired. …”

Cortical Areas Involved in Subjective Visual Vertical Perception: A Systematic Review by Meymaneh Jafari, Hojjat Allah Haghgoo, Seyed Ruhollah Hosseini, Hassan Ashayeri, Enayatollah Bakhshi, Moslem Shaabani

“…These areas mainly include the occipital cortex, frontal cortex, posterior temporoparietal, temporo-occipital, parieto-occipital, superior temporal gyrus, inferior parietal lobe in temporoparietal junction, posterior insula, cuneus, lingual gyrus, precuneus, ventral dentate nucleus, cerebellum, and brainstem. Conclusion: The cortical areas involved in SVV perception are a part of the vestibular system, which is distributed bilaterally. …”
