Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects more than 50 million people each year worldwide (Blaya et al., 2022) and leads to diverse functional impairments. Depending on the damaged regions, alterations may compromise different functions, which recover along time.Brain responses include events at molecular, cellular circuit levels (Zepeda 2004;Lim 2014;Kang 2022). However, study of plastic in humans a subcellular poses many difficulties. Therefore, loss recovery functions have been mainly assessed through behavioral evaluation, as well neuroimaging neurophysiological studies. When comparing animal models like rodents, we can only suggest potential contributions observed some but not all (Kozlowski 2013).Adding up complexity using experimental TBI proxy explore nervous humans, is difference outcomes male female clinical populations. Adult neurogenesis, has clearly demonstrated rats mice (for review, see Denoth-Lippuner Jessberger, 2021), beyond doubt (Sorrells 2018;Moreno-Jiménez 2019, for critical Oppenheim, 2019) explored mechanism subserving after damage, it our opinion that scientific community still far from reaching conclusion regarding its role repair.For purpose this opinion, would address four main questions: (1) Are there established sex-dependent differences outcome mirror humans?

(4) non-debatable human brain?(1) From total pre-clinical research 2016 Pubmed, 7% studies females focus importance sex modeling (Späni 2018).

Middle age has historically been an understudied period of life compared to older age, when cognitive and brain health decline are most pronounced, but the scope for intervention may be limited. However, recent research suggests that middle could mark a shift in aging. We review emerging evidence on multiple levels analysis indicating midlife is defined by unique central peripheral processes shape future trajectories health. Informed developments aging lifespan studies humans animal models, we highlight utility modeling non-linear changes study samples with wide subject ranges distinguish stage-specific from those acting linearly throughout lifespan.

Abstract Some individuals are able to maintain their cognitive abilities despite the presence of significant Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) neuropathological changes. This discrepancy between cognition and pathology has been labeled as resilience evolved into a widely debated concept. External factors such stimulation associated with AD, but exact cellular molecular underpinnings not completely understood. In this review, we discuss current definitions used in field, highlight translational approaches investigate AD summarize underlying substrates that have derived from human animal studies, which received more attention last few years. From these studies picture emerges resilient different patients terms specific pathological species reaction pathology, possibly helps up certain tipping point. Studying rare can be great importance it could pave way novel therapeutic avenues for AD.

The existence of neurogenesis in the adult human hippocampus has been under considerable debate within past three decades due to diverging conclusions originating mostly from immunohistochemistry studies. While some these reports conclude that hippocampal humans occurs throughout physiologic aging, others indicate this phenomenon ends by early childhood. More recently, groups have adopted next-generation sequencing technologies characterize with more acuity extent humans. Here, we review current state research on brain an emphasis challenges and limitations using for its study.
