Today we celebrate the 200th anniversary of Jean-Martin Charcot, the father of modern neurology. Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria highlights his legacy in recent studies on his life, art, and science. Read the latest ANP articles: https://t.co/nrzvlmmJBq

Pilot study evaluated the impact of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in patients with heart failure due to Chagas disease. After 7 days, no patient in the ASA group presented HITS on transcranial Doppler, suggesting a protective effect. https://t.co/RvqlRgGEMZ

The “double calcification” clue — a rare imaging finding revealing PLNTY (Polymorphous Low-Grade Neuroepithelial Tumor of the Young) in a 17-year-old with new-onset seizures. Even low-grade tumors can hide behind striking calcifications. https://t.co/WBNyhJj7pf

The hyperdense boomerang sign — when seen in the splenium with restricted diffusion and a “tiger-skin” white matter pattern, it may point not to ischemia, but to Krabbe disease, a rare leukodystrophy in infants. https://t.co/PkOkPy5Wrx

🎵 Review explores the neuroscience of musical perception! How does the brain decode melody, harmony & rhythm? The article examines neural circuits involved in music processing and how Alzheimer’s disease & epilepsy can affect these experiences. 👉 https://t.co/AGcVPbQne7

Narrative review analyzes the use of tenecteplase (TNK) in acute ischemic stroke: an alteplase variant with longer half-life and higher fibrin specificity, offering effective reperfusion, safety, and ease of administration. https://t.co/gJS6JkBH0G

🧠⚠️ Review analyzes mercury intoxication as a growing public health threat in Brazil, especially in the Amazon. More than 250 neurological symptoms have been associated, underscoring the need for greater clinical vigilance among neurologists. https://t.co/yWADODqIB6

Study analyzes the use of FDG PET in dementia diagnosis in Northeastern Brazil. Results show it clarified atypical dementias, early-onset syndromes, and degenerative vs non-degenerative cases, supporting future research in diverse populations. https://t.co/BJYAKDLeh1

Study tracks Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease progression in Brazilian children and adolescents over 2 years. CMTPedS detected significant functional decline within 1 year, highlighting its value for monitoring disease progression. Read more: https://t.co/3stbbfbbza

Review analyzes clobazam use in epilepsy and risks from shortages. Experts warn scarcity may worsen seizures, increase medication errors, reduce adherence, and call for measures to ensure supply of this essential drug. https://t.co/RtllP2hN3n

A 76-year-old man developed cognitive decline, encephalopathy & visual disturbances 6 months after ICA stenting. Imaging revealed a left carotid-cavernous fistula. Endovascular embolization improved symptoms. Read more: https://t.co/zw5juT7uPK

🧠 Systematic review and meta-analysis show that elevated GGT levels are linked to increased stroke risk: ➡️ +42% for hemorrhagic stroke ➡️ +22% for ischemic stroke 📌 GGT emerges as a prognostic biomarker in cerebrovascular diseases. Read more: https://t.co/Vic9SzARVe

🧠 Study reports 7 cases of ataxia after major abdominal surgeries, a rare but severe complication. Most patients had persistent deficits. Authors suggest prophylactic B1 and B12 supplementation in those receiving total parenteral nutrition. https://t.co/9nP7mtrT32

New study might guide methodological design for cognitive stimultation research in older adults. #CongnitiveStimulation; #Aging; #BrainTherapy; #Neurology. Read more: https://t.co/lfXmqErARL

🧠 Review addresses practical aspects in the management of sleep, anxiety, and mood disorders in primary headaches, proposing the MAMS approach (migraine, anxiety, mood, sleep). 👉 Read more: https://t.co/oBUSwxvR2H

♟️73M with diplopia & left hemiparesis had a right pontine stroke (VI palsy + hemiparesis). On DAPT, returned with dysarthria & ataxia—left cerebellar stroke with striking “chessboard” MRI pattern. Likely intracranial atherosclerosis. https://t.co/xp2AmXX32z

🎯 Adult medulloblastoma can surprise: 37M with isolated oculomotor palsy was found to have SHH-activated, TP53-wildtype MB with leptomeningeal spread. A rare presentation—always think broadly in cranial neuropathies. https://t.co/04lz2MoJYJ

🧠 A 60M with vertigo, paraparesis & dysarthria had brainstem/cerebellar masses on MRI—biopsy revealed Erdheim-Chester disease with BRAF V600 mutation. Treated with vemurafenib. Rare histiocytosis, but think of it in brainstem syndromes! https://t.co/PXkFFFTNbl

👁️ A 43M with Hunter syndrome (MPS II) had vision loss and arm weakness. Imaging revealed optic disc edema, photoreceptor loss, and cervical stenosis. First report of microphthalmia in MPS II—highlighting need for early neuro-ophthalmic surveillance. https://t.co/EHheppxTGJ

🧠 Neurocutaneous syndromes are diverse disorders affecting skin, brain, nerves & eyes. This review proposes a practical, neuro-based classification—grouping by tumors, epilepsy, vascular issues & ataxia. Early recognition = timely diagnosis & care. https://t.co/0jbJ3KdBOI
