Plasticity of perisynaptic astroglia during synaptogenesis in the mature rat hippocampus.
TL;DR: It is suggested that as synapses enlarge and release more neurotransmitter, they attract astroglial processes to a discrete portion of their perimeters, further enhancing synaptic efficacy without limiting the potential for cross talk with neighboring synapses in the mature rat hippocampus.
Postoperative pain management with tramadol after craniotomy: evaluation and cost analysis.
TL;DR: The use of scheduled atypical analgesics such as tramadol in addition to narcotics with acetaminophen for the management of postoperative pain after craniotomy may provide better pain control, decrease the side effects associated with narcotic pain medications, encourage earlier postoperative ambulation, and reduce total hospitalization costs.

Corpus callosotomy for treatment of pediatric epilepsy in the modern era
TL;DR: Evaluating seizure outcome in children with intractable secondary generalized epilepsy without a resectable focus who underwent complete corpus callosotomy found it to be the most effective treatment for secondary generalizedintractable seizures not amenable to focal resection.

Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen as Target for Neuroimaging of Central Nervous System Tumors
TL;DR: There is a potential application for PSMA-targeted PET in neuro-oncology as a combination of diagnostic and therapeutic use, as a theranostic modality for managing CNS tumors.

TL;DR: This study shows that electrochemical estimates of sub-second NA dynamics can be obtained using clinical depth electrodes implanted for epilepsy monitoring, and provides proof of concept that neuromodulator monitoring is now possible using depth electrodes in standard clinical use.
