Several studies highlight the potential role of the TG2/NF-κB activation pathway in neurodegenerative diseases, including Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and the neuroinflammation that is associated with these conditions. The cross-linking activity of TG2, facilitating the formation of isopeptide bonds between glutamine and lysine residues, appears to be involved in forming protein aggregate deposits in these pathological conditions. Specifically, in the chronic neuroinflammation of MS, TG2 seems to play a central role in the fibrotic process of the lesion. Several potential biomarkers have been investigated for the prognosis and monitoring of MS, but no researchers have explored the presence of potential inflammatory signals in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) during the presymptomatic stage of MS, known as Radiologically Isolated Syndrome (RIS), on account of the lack of information regarding its pathological aspects. Since researchers have demonstrated a correlation between TG2 mRNA levels in PBMCs and the clinical and radiological progression of MS, we aimed to evaluate the expression levels of TG2 in RIS patients, comparing them with those in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients and healthy controls (HCs) using real-time PCR analysis. Preliminary data showed that RIS patients exhibit lower TG2 mRNA expression levels compared to RRMS patients, while no difference in TG2 mRNA expression being observed between RIS patients and HCs. This suggests that RIS patients exhibit a lower neuroinflammation grade than RRMS patients and that TG2 may represent a potential biochemical marker for assessing neuroinflammation associated with this disease.

These changes may unlock latent creative potential, enabling PD artists to express themselves more authentically. By promoting a dynamic balance between top-down (goal-directed) and bottom-up (emotion-driven) processing across the creative cycle, preparation, imagination, and verification, PD-related changes may help reduce self-censorship, foster originality, and support the creation of meaningful, valuable work.

The main cause of this disease is bi-allelic mutations in the <i>PLA2G6</i> gene, which codes for the enzyme phospholipase A2 type VI. Clinically, it manifests with progressive neurodevelopmental impairment, psychomotor regression, movement disorders, and pyramidal signs. Initially described in the 1950s, the classical form presents in the first two years of life, although later-onset variants are recognized. At the neuropathological level, INAD is characterized by the presence of neuroaxonal spheroids, which are dilations of degenerated axons, located mainly in the white matter, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. INAD is considered a rare or ultra-rare disease, with an estimated prevalence of approximately 1 per million individuals. Diagnosis requires a comprehensive evaluation combining clinical with neuroimaging studies, mainly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and genetic analysis. MRI may reveal early cerebellar atrophy and a low-intensity signal in the globus pallidus on iron-sensitive sequences, indicative of iron accumulation. Currently, there is no curative treatment for INAD, so management focuses on providing palliative care and symptom control using a multidisciplinary approach.

Many young adults struggle with focus, stress management, and information processing. Emerging research suggests that auditory stimulation, specifically binaural beats and white noise, may enhance cognitive abilities and address these challenges. This exploratory study investigates the immediate effects of alpha binaural beats (ABB) and alpha binaural beats combined with white noise (AWN) on brain connectivity in young adults using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Twenty-nine participants (n = 14 ABB, n = 15 AWN; mean age ≈ 22.14 years) were randomly assigned to receive either ABB or AWN during fMRI scans. Using dynamic independent component analysis (dyn-ICA), we examined the modulation of functional brain circuits during auditory stimulation. Preliminary findings revealed distinct and overlapping patterns of brain connectivity modulation of ABB and AWN. ABB primarily modulated connectivity within circuits involving frontoparietal, visual-motor, and multisensory regions, potentially enhancing cognitive flexibility, attentional control, and multisensory processing. Conversely, AWN primarily modulated connectivity in salience and default mode networks, with notable effects in limbic or reward regions, suggesting enhancements in focused attention and emotional processing. These preliminary results demonstrate that ABB and AWN differentially modulate brain networks on an immediate timescale. ABB may promote cognitive adaptability, while AWN enhances focused attention and emotional stability. Although behavioral effects were not assessed, these findings provide a neurobiological basis for understanding how these stimuli impact brain circuits. These preliminary findings may aid the development of personalized strategies for cognitive and emotional well-being. Given the exploratory nature, small sample size, and lack of concurrent behavioral data, these findings should be interpreted cautiously.
