Case Report: Probable paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity during vascular and postoperative critical illness with bilateral white matter abnormalities
BackgroundRecognition of paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) during vascular and postoperative critical illness is complicated by overlapping infection and seizure features.Case presentationA 37-year-old man developed encephalopathy and rigidity after extensive arterial thrombosis, thrombectomy, and suspected…
Single-cell dataset of juvenile mouse neurons from the thalamic reticular nucleus: whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology
This dataset provides single-cell whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology for 19 interneurons of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) in juvenile mice. The recordings were obtained from male C57Bl/6J mice sampled within the developmental window of postnatal…

Architecture-data matching for EEG-EMG decoding: compact deep models match classical spectral decoders on the WAY-EEG-GAL grasp-and-lift dataset
Modern deep learning has broadened the tools available for non-invasive neural decoding, but its advantage over well-engineered classical pipelines remains unclear at clinical neural-engineering sample sizes. We compared four classical decoders, three multilayer perceptron (MLP) variants, and three deep-learning architectures…
Quantification of [11C]CURB PET using an irreversible reference tissue model with a cluster-derived pseudo-reference region
IntroductionQuantification of [11C]CURB, an irreversible positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceutical used to image fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), requires invasive arterial sampling. Developing a non-invasive approach for [11C]CURB is challenging, since traditional reference region models are not directly applicable and…
Patient journey mapping in an open-door psychiatric inpatient unit
BackgroundOpen-door policies in inpatient psychiatric care have been increasingly adopted to enhance patient autonomy and reduce coercive practices. However, systematic methods for evaluating patient experiences in these settings remain limited. This study applied Patient Journey Mapping in an acute psychiatric…
Integrating cognitive-behavioral training with immersive virtual reality intervention in ADHD: a case report
IntroductionAttention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity. This case highlights the potential benefit of integrating Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in the rehabilitation of a child with ADHD. It contributes…
Neural mechanisms underlying cognitive inflexibility in obsessive-compulsive disorder: a review
Cognitive inflexibility, a reduced capacity to shift mental set or update behavior when circumstances change, is a significant feature of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, while cognitive inflexibility is superficially a coherent entity, it appears to engage a range of distinct…
Effects of exercise interventions on executive function in autism spectrum disorder: a three-level meta-analytic review
ObjectiveThis study aimed to use a three-level meta-analysis to examine the effects of exercise interventions on executive function (EF) in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to explore the relationship between exercise dose and intervention effects through…
Thyroid-stimulating hormone, fasting blood glucose and suicidal ideation in Chinese adolescents with major depressive disorder: a cross-sectional study
BackgroundThyroid function and glycolipid metabolic alterations are often associated with major depressive disorder (MDD), yet their roles in suicide risk among adolescents with MDD remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, glycolipid metabolism parameters, and their…
Adolescent exposure to the psychedelic 25C-NBOMe in rats induces lasting competitive avoidance through disrupted hippocampal–prefrontal synchrony
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 20 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02369-yYu, Zhang et al. show that repeated exposure to the psychedelic drug 25C-NBOMe in adolescent rats, but not in adult rats, reduces willingness to engaged in food resource competition in adulthood, due to…
