The preservation of cognitive longevity and arresting the pandemic of senile dementia engulfing the modern world is arguably the major challenge faced by biomedical research in the 21st century. Age is the leading risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases and vascular dementia, and yet there is a clear distinction between physiological and pathological brain aging; the former proceeds with cognitive abilities mainly preserved, whereas the latter is manifested with rapid cognitive decline. The cellular and molecular mechanisms of brain aging remain disputed, with numerous indications for metabolic and signaling alterations (Mattson and Arumugam, 2018).

One of the key challenges in neuroscience is that the central nervous system (CNS; the brain and spinal cord), is largely unable to regenerate after injury. One factor contributing to this lack of repair is the accumulation of cellular and myelin debris a
Worldwide, more than 40 million people are afflicted with Alzheimer\'s disease (AD) (Esquerda-Canals et al., 2017). AD is a devastating neurodegenerative disroder characterized by progressive decline in cognitive abilities. A hallmark of AD and other ne
Dystonia is a common movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal movements and/or postures (Keller Sarmiento and Mencacci, 2021). The dystonic syndromes are classified as primary dystonia (dystonia is
A (very) brief history of tension in nerve repair: Successful nerve repair is achieved by conveying as many axons successfully to their targets as possible. Typically, this is best achieved through a direct end-to-end repair under minimal tension (Millesi
Spinal cord injury (SCI), second only to stroke, is the leading cause of paralysis. The ability to walk is often lost after SCI, reducing independence and quality of life. Restoration of walking is cited as a priority among persons with SCI of all degrees
Peripheral nerve injuries are common consequences of extremity trauma or chronic compression with a prevalence of 43.8 per 1 million people (on average) reported in the United States annually, accompanied by a yearly increase in cost of care. Patients suf
Parkinson\'s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease affecting 8–10 million people worldwide. Moreover, PD is the fastest-growing neurodegenerative disease and it is predicted that the number of patients will double in the next
Exposure to noise of high intensities (> 80 dB) is considered a stressful event and might produce both auditory and extra-auditory damage, including different central nervous system (CNS) injuries. Within the CNS, the hippocampus (HC), a structure related
Trace amines are the class of endogenous biogenic amines that traditionally include beta-phenylethylamine,p-tyramine,tryptamine,octopamine,and others.
Ischemic stroke is a cerebrovascular disease with a high risk of mortality and long-lasting neurological disabilities. Medical advances have resulted in a declining trend in stroke incidence and deaths in the United States. However, increasing age and ris
