The hippocampus, noted as (HC), plays a crucial role in the processes of learning, memory formation, and spatial navigation. Recent research reveals that this brain region can undergo structural functional changes due to environmental exposures, including stress, noise pollution, sleep deprivation, microgravity. This review synthesizes findings from animal human studies, emphasizing HC's plasticity response these factors. It examines volume, architecture, neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, gene expression highlights critical periods vulnerability influences impacting cognition behavior. also investigates underlying mechanisms such glucocorticoid signaling, epigenetic alterations, neural circuit adaptations. Understanding how HC reacts various exposures is vital for developing strategies enhance cognitive resilience mitigate negative effects on region. Further needed identify protective risk factors create effective interventions.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders characterized by recurrent seizures. The mechanism epilepsy remains unclear and previous studies suggest that N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) play an important role in abnormal discharges, nerve conduction, neuron injury inflammation, thereby they may participate epileptogenesis. NMDARs belong to a family ionotropic glutamate essential roles excitatory neurotransmission synaptic plasticity mammalian CNS. Despite numerous focusing on NMDAR epilepsy, relationship appeared be elusive. In this article, we reviewed regulation possible mechanisms respect onset, development, treatment, trying provide more evidence for future studies.

N-Methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, a subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), have garnered attention for their role brain disorders. Specifically, GluN2A-containing NMDA emerged as potential therapeutic target treatment depressive disorders and epilepsy. However, development receptor-selective antagonists, represented by N-(4-(2-benzoylhydrazine-1-carbonyl)benzyl)-3-chloro-4-fluorobenzenesulfonamide (TCN-201) its derivatives, faces significant challenge due to limited ability penetrate blood-brain barrier (BBB), hampering vivo characterization further advancement. In this study, we reported series 2-((5-(phemylamino)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)-N-(cyclohexylmethyl)acetamide achieved through structure-guided optimization strategy using free energy perturbation (FEP) BBB permeability estimation. Through systematic exploration various phenyl substitutions, compound 1f standout compound, demonstrating substantially enhanced inhibitory activity compared with lead TCN-213.

Ovarian teratomas are by far the most common ovarian germ cell tumor. Most benign unless a somatic transformation occurs. The designation of teratoma refers to neoplasm that differentiates toward somatic-type populations. Recent research shows striking association between and anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis, rare understudied paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS). Among teratomas, mature thought have greater relevance with those impairments. PNS is described as neurologic deficit triggered an underlying remote tumor, whereas anti-NMDAR encephalitis characterized complex neuropsychiatric presence autoantibodies in cerebral spinal fluid against GluN1 subunit NMDAR. This review aims summarize recent reports on teratoma. In particular, molecular pathway pathogenesis updated mechanism disease models would be discussed. We hope provide in-depth this issue and, therefore, better understand its epidemiology, diagnostic approach, treatment strategies.
