Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) utilizes non-invasive electrical waveforms to help patients recover motor function following a spinal cord injury. Recent research evaluates whether newer, kilohertz-frequency waveforms are as effective as conventional, longer-duration waveforms at targeting the neural structures necessary for true rehabilitation.

Spinal Cord Stimulation: Waveform Efficacy

Research reveals conventional spinal cord stimulation waveforms are more effective for motor recovery than expensive high-frequency alternatives.

This brief highlights a link between everyday physical activity and brain housekeeping processes, offering a timely reminder of how motor activity can intersect with cognitive well-being. For clinicians across disciplines, the finding underscores how even minimal muscle engagement may support neural clearance mechanisms, which can inform holistic approaches to mental health maintenance and stress-related symptom management. The content invites consideration of movement-based strategies as supplementary, non-pharmacological factors in promoting brain function, without implying clinical prescriptions.

La oxitocina tiene efectos distintos dependiendo de que neuronas la liberen (NPV posterior, NPV anterior, extensión amigdalina, etc) y en que patrón lo hagan (el patrón electrofisiológico de las neuronas es muy distinto!!)

Oxytocin neurons in the anterior and posterior paraventricular nucleus have distinct behavioral functions and electrophysiological profiles - Neuropsychopharmacology

Oxytocin is a neuropeptide that can promote or inhibit affiliative social behaviors. Recent evidence suggests that these diverse effects are mediated by distinct oxytocin receptor-expressing neurons. An outstanding question is whether these behavioral effects are also driven by distinct or overlapping populations of oxytocin-producing neurons. The paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus is a major source of oxytocin and sends projections to the mesolimbic dopamine system and extended amygdala. Previous work found that social defeat stress increased oxytocin neuron activity in the anterior PVN (aPVN) but not posterior PVN (pPVN). We reduced oxytocin synthesis with antisense morpholino oligonucleotides in either anterior or posterior PVN in California mice (Peromyscus californicus), a strong model system for studying effects of social stress on brain function and behavior. Antisense morpholinos in aPVN had no effect on behavior in unstressed females but increased social approach and reduced social vigilance in females exposed to social defeat stress. In pPVN, antisense morpholinos reduced social approach in unstressed male and female California mice. We then used OxtCre mice to compare electrophysiological profiles of oxytocin in aPVN and pPVN with a population of oxytocin neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST). Oxytocin neurons in aPVN and BNST had higher post-synaptic events and responded more strongly to current injections than oxytocin neurons in pPVN, though they had similar excitatory and inhibitory input balance at the observed resting membrane potential. These findings shed light on to functional and physiological heterogeneity of PVN oxytocin neurons. Our results suggest that context-dependent behavioral effects of oxytocin are mediated by different populations of oxytocin neurons.

In Memoriam Professor Mark Hallett, MD (1943–2025)

It is with deep sadness that we mark the passing of Professor Mark Hallett, MD, an eminent neurologist, researcher, and global leader whose work profoundly advanced the understanding of human movement and motor control.
