Abstract
Locomotive changes are often associated with disease or injury, and these changes can be quantified through gait analysis. Gait analysis has been applied to preclinical studies, providing quantitative behavioural assessment with a reasonable clinical analogue. However, available gait analysis technology for small animals is somewhat limited. Furthermore, technological and analytical challenges can limit the effectiveness of preclinical gait analysis. The Gait Analysis Instrumentation and Technology Optimized for Rodents (GAITOR) Suite is designed to increase the accessibility of preclinical gait analysis to researchers, facilitating hardware and software customization for broad applications. Here, the GAITOR Suite’s utility is demonstrated in 4 models: a monoiodoacetate (MIA) injection model of joint pain, a sciatic nerve injury model, an elbow joint contracture model, and a spinal cord injury model. The GAITOR Suite identified unique compensatory gait patterns in each model, demonstrating the software’s utility for detecting gait changes in rodent models of highly disparate injuries and diseases. Robust gait analysis may improve preclinical model selection, disease sequelae assessment, and evaluation of potential therapeutics. Our group has provided the GAITOR Suite as an open resource to the research community at www.GAITOR.org, aiming to promote and improve the implementation of gait analysis in preclinical rodent models. © 2018 The Author(s).

Abstract
Background: Affective instability is a facet of emotion dysregulation that characterizes various mental disorders, including Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). However, it is unclear as to how affective instability predicts the course of MDD. It is also unknown whether affective instability is a relevant predictor of MDD in later adulthood, a period when there is a decrease in both affective instability and MDD prevalence. Thus, we investigated the role of affective instability in the course of MDD in a sample of late middle-age and older adults. Methods: Using a longitudinal design over five years, 1,630 adults aged 55–64 years (M = 59.60, SD = 2.70) completed a baseline assessment of affective instability (self-report, informant-report, interviewer-report), three assessments of MDD (computerized interview), and eight assessments of depressive symptoms (self-report). Results: Baseline affective instability positively predicted the likelihood of having lifetime major depressive episodes (MDE) and first-time MDEs, as well as depressive symptoms up to five years later. However, affective instability did not predict remission or having more depressive symptoms over time. These findings held when controlling for neuroticism. Limitations: We only assessed affective instability at the baseline, did not investigate specific mechanisms or recurrence, and focused on middle-age and older adults. Conclusions: Our findings replicate and extend prior work by showing that affective instability is differentially related to multiple aspects of MDD’s course and remains an important predictor of MDD even in older age. We discuss implications for the role of affective instability in MDD across the lifespan. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract
Objective: Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) is increasingly utilized to evaluate for traumatic cerebrovascular injury (TCVI). The purpose of this study was to determine the yield, management effect, and risk of stroke or poor outcome of a positive CTA in a large cohort of trauma patients. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 1290 consecutive trauma patients that underwent head and/or neck CTA at our level I trauma center from 2006 to 2015. Clinical variables assessed include mechanism of injury, neurological status, CTA findings, subsequent imaging results, patient management, and clinical outcomes. Results: Among 1290 patients who underwent CTA, 200 (15.5%) were positive for TCVI, higher in blunt than penetrating trauma patients. In a generalized linear model, factors that increased likelihood of positive CTA included multiple cervical fractures, fractures with foraminal involvement, gunshot injury, Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 13, and focal neurological deficit. Excluding cases with these factors lowered the positive rate to 4.3%. Of the 200 CTA-positives, 99 were treated for TCVI and 9 (4.5%) developed a subsequent stroke as compared to 5 (0.5%) in CTA-negative patients (odds ratio 10.2, Fisher exact test, p < 0.001). Risk of death or nursing facility discharge location was also higher in CTA-positive patients, correcting for age and presenting GCS (p < 0.01). Conclusion: CTA had a modest yield in identifying TCVI in this cohort. When positive, CTA influenced management and predicted an increased risk of subsequent stroke and poor outcome. © 2018

Abstract
Introduction: There are currently no effective therapeutics for Alzheimer disease (AD). Clinical trials targeting amyloid beta thus far have shown very little benefit and only in the earliest stages of disease. These limitations have driven research to identify alternative therapeutic targets, one of the most promising is the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2). Areas covered: Here, we review the literature to-date and discuss the potentials and pitfalls for targeting TREM2 as a potential therapeutic for AD. We focus on research in animal and cell models for AD and central nervous system injury models which may help in understanding the role of TREM2 in disease. Expert opinion: Studies suggest TREM2 plays a key role in AD pathology; however, results have been conflicting about whether TREM2 is beneficial or harmful. More research is necessary before designing TREM2-targeting therapies. Successful therapeutics will most likely be administered early in disease. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Abstract
Localizing human brain functions is a long-standing goal in systems neuroscience. Toward this goal, neuroimaging studies have traditionally used volume-based smoothing, registered data to volume-based standard spaces, and reported results relative to volume-based parcellations. A novel 360-area surface-based cortical parcellation was recently generated using multimodal data from the Human Connectome Project, and a volume-based version of this parcellation has frequently been requested for use with traditional volume-based analyses. However, given the major methodological differences between traditional volumetric and Human Connectome Project-style processing, the utility and interpretability of such an altered parcellation must first be established. By starting from automatically generated individual-subject parcellations and processing them with different methodological approaches, we show that traditional processing steps, especially volume-based smoothing and registration, substantially degrade cortical area localization compared with surface-based approaches. We also show that surface-based registration using features closely tied to cortical areas, rather than to folding patterns alone, improves the alignment of areas, and that the benefits of high-resolution acquisitions are largely unexploited by traditional volume-based methods. Quantitatively, we show that the most common version of the traditional approach has spatial localization that is only 35% as good as the best surface-based method as assessed using two objective measures (peak areal probabilities and “captured area fraction” for maximum probability maps). Finally, we demonstrate that substantial challenges exist when attempting to accurately represent volume-based group analysis results on the surface, which has important implications for the interpretability of studies, both past and future, that use these volume-based methods. © 2018 National Academy of Sciences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Evidence is needed to understand the effect of fingolimod on slowing down brain atrophy progression in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients in clinical practice. We investigated the effect of fingolimod on brain atrophy in MS patients with active disease (clinically and/or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) versus no evidence of active disease (NEAD). METHODS: MS and clinical outcome and MRI in the United States (MS-MRIUS) is a multicenter, retrospective study that included 590 relapsing-remitting MS patients, who initiated fingolimod, and were followed for a median of 16 months. Patients with active disease at baseline (245, 41.5%) were defined as those who had one or more relapses in the year previous starting fingolimod, and/or displayed gadolinium enhancing lesions(s) at baseline MRI scan, whereas patients with NEAD at baseline (345, 58.5%) did not fulfill these criteria. Annualized percentage brain volume change (PBVC) and percentage lateral ventricle volume change (PLVVC) over the follow-up were analyzed in both groups. RESULTS: Over the follow-up, the rate of PBVC was −.38% in active disease and −.25% in NEAD patients (P =.076), whereas PLLVC was 1.76% in active disease and.28% in NEAD patients (P =.046). No changes in timed 25-foot walk (P =.619) and Expanded Disability Status Scale (P =.275) scores or MRI lesion accumulation (P > 0.08) were detected, although the active disease group had a higher proportion of relapses during the follow-up period (P =.02). CONCLUSIONS: The study provides real-world evidence that rate of brain atrophy in MS patients with underlying active disease and NEAD in fingolimod treated patients is below the established pathological cutoff for loss of whole brain volume (>−.4%) or expansion of lateral ventricles (> 3.5%).

Abstract
Executive deficits are commonly reported in children with sickle cell anemia. Earlier identification of executive deficits would give more scope for intervention, but this cognitive domain has not been routinely investigated due to a lack of age-appropriate tasks normed for preschool children. In particular, information relating to patient performance on an executive task that reflects an everyday activity in the classroom could provide important insight and practical recommendations for the classroom teacher at this key developmental juncture as they enter the academic domain. The performance of 22 children with sickle cell anemia was compared to 24 matched control children on the Preschool Executive Task Assessment. Findings reveal that children with sickle cell anemia are performing poorer than their matched peers on this multi-step assessment. In particular, children with sickle cell anemia required more structured support to shift focus after a completed step, as reflected by poorer scores in the quantitative Sequencing and Completion domains. They also required more support to stay on task, as seen by poorer ratings in the qualitative Distractibility domain.

Abstract
Background: Dermoid cysts are rare congenital teratomas that can occasionally rupture and cause chemical meningitis, neurological deficit, or hydrocephalus. Rarely, dermoid cysts in the pediatric population can rupture spontaneously and even more rarely rupture due to trauma. To date, there are only five documented cases of traumatic rupture of a dermoid cyst. Case summary: A 2-year-old male presented with 5 days of left eye ptosis and ophthalmoplegia after suffering a fall and was found to have a ruptured left anterior clinoid dermoid cyst that was surgically resected. The patient had significant improvement postoperatively. Significance: To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of a ruptured dermoid cyst after trauma in a pediatric patient and the first case of a traumatically ruptured dermoid cyst presenting with neurological deficit. © 2018 Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature

Abstract
Our study examined processing effects in improving memory accuracy in older and younger adults. Specifically, we evaluated the effectiveness of item-specific and relational processing instructions relative to a read-only control task on correct and false recognition in younger and older adults using a categorized-list paradigm. In both age groups, item-specific and relational processing improved correct recognition versus a read-only control task, and item-specific encoding decreased false recognition relative to both the relational and read-only groups. This pattern was found in older adults despite overall elevated rates of false recognition. We then applied signal-detection and diffusion-modeling analyses, which separately utilized recognition responses and the latencies to those responses to estimate contributions of encoding and monitoring processes on recognition decisions. Converging evidence from both analyses demonstrated that item-specific processing benefits to memory accuracy were due to improvements of both encoding (estimates of d′ and drift rate) and monitoring (estimates of lambda and boundary separation) processes, and, importantly, occurred similarly in both younger and older adults. Thus, older and younger adults showed similar encoding-based and test-based benefits of item-specific processing to enhance memory accuracy. © 2018 Psychonomic Society, Inc.

Abstract
Answering multiple-choice questions improves access to otherwise difficult-to-retrieve knowledge tested by those questions. Here, I examine whether multiple-choice questions can also improve accessibility to related knowledge that is not explicitly tested. In two experiments, participants first answered challenging general knowledge (trivia) multiple-choice questions containing competitive incorrect alternatives and then took a final cued-recall test with those previously tested questions and new related questions for which a previously incorrect answer was the correct answer. In Experiment 1, participants correctly answered related questions more often and faster when they had taken a multiple-choice test than when they had not. In Experiment 2, I showed that the more accurate and faster responses were not simply a result of previous exposure to those alternatives. These findings have practical implications for potential benefits of multiple-choice testing and implications for the processes that occur when individuals answer multiple-choice questions. © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group

Abstract
Background: Wolfram syndrome (WFS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease with clinical manifestations of diabetes mellitus (DM), diabetes insipidus (DI), optic nerve atrophy (OA) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Although SNHL is a key symptom of WFS, there is limited information on its natural history using standardized measures. Such information is important for clinical care and determining its use as an outcome measure in clinical trials. Methods: Standardized audiologic measures, including pure-tone testing, tympanometry, speech perception, and the unaided Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) were assessed in patients with confirmed WFS annually. Mixed model analyses were used to examine main effects of age, time or interactions for pure tone average (PTA), high frequency average (HFA) and SII. Results: Forty WFS patients were evaluated between 1 and 6 times. Mean age at initial enrollment was 13.5 years (SD = 5.6). Patients were classified as having normal hearing (n = 10), mild-to-severe (n = 24) or profound SNHL (n = 6). Mean age of diagnosis for SNHL was 8.3 years (SD = 5.1) with 75% prevalence. HFA worsened over time for both ears, and SII worsened over time in the worse ear, with greater decline in both measures in younger patients. Average estimated change over 1 year for all measures was in the subclinical range and power analyses suggest that 100 patients would be needed per group (treatment vs. placebo) to detect a 60% reduction in annual change of HFA over 3 years. If trials focused on just those patients with SNHL, power estimates suggest 55 patients per group would be sufficient. Conclusions: Most patients had a slow progressive SNHL emerging in late childhood. Change over time with standard audiologic tests (HFA, SII) was small and would not be detectable for at least 2 years in an individual. Relatively large sample sizes would be necessary to detect significant impact on hearing progression in a clinical trial. Hearing function should be monitored clinically in WFS to provide appropriate intervention. Because SNHL can occur very early in WFS, audiologists and otolaryngologists should be aware of and refer for later emerging symptoms. © 2018 The Author(s).

Abstract
Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) has a high rate of local recurrence despite chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Genome-wide expression profiling was performed on patient tumors before and after chemoradiotherapy to identify genes and gene pathways associated with recurrence. Results: Median time to recurrence was 8.9 months with median time to second surgery of 9.6 months. The microRNA (miRNA) analysis identified 9 oncologic and immune-related miRNAs to be differentially expressed, including the hypoxia-related miR-210 and the immune-modulatory miR-146b. More than 1200 differentiallyexpressed genes were identified with RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified p53 signaling, Notch, Wnt, VEGF, and MEK gene sets enriched in recurrent GBM. Consistent with the miRNA profiling data, the miR-146b target gene set from GSEA analysis was also associated with recurrence. Methods: Fourteen patients with GBM recurrence after CRT who had available tumor tissue from the initial diagnosis as well as recurrence were selected. Total RNA was isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimens. Genome-wide expression profiling using RT-PCR for miRNA analysis and RNA-seq for messenger RNA (mRNA) analysis were conducted to identify differentially-expressed genes. GSEA was performed on the differential expression data. Conclusions: Genome-wide expression profiling identifies multiple oncologic and immune-related gene sets associated with GBM recurrence. In particular, immunerelated miR-146b is upregulated in recurrence and deserves further investigation. ©Khwaja et al.

Abstract
Disorders of the brain can exhibit considerable epidemiological comorbidity and often share symptoms, provoking debate about their etiologic overlap. We quantified the genetic sharing of 25 brain disorders from genome-wide association studies of 265,218 patients and 784,643 control participants and assessed their relationship to 17 phenotypes from 1,191,588 individuals. Psychiatric disorders share common variant risk, whereas neurological disorders appear more distinct from one another and from the psychiatric disorders. We also identified significant sharing between disorders and a number of brain phenotypes, including cognitive measures. Further, we conducted simulations to explore how statistical power, diagnostic misclassification, and phenotypic heterogeneity affect genetic correlations. These results highlight the importance of common genetic variation as a risk factor for brain disorders and the value of heritability-based methods in understanding their etiology. © 2018 American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Abstract
Recent success with B cell depletion therapies has revitalized efforts to understand the pathogenic role of B cells in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Using the adoptive transfer system of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a murine model of MS, we have previously shown that mice in which B cells are the only MHCII-expressing antigen presenting cell (APC) are susceptible to EAE. However, a reproducible delay in the day of onset of disease driven by exclusive B cell antigen presentation suggests that B cells require optimal conditions to function as APCs in EAE. In this study, we utilize an in vivo genetic system to conditionally and temporally regulate expression of MHCII to test the hypothesis that B cell APCs mediate attenuated and delayed neuroinflammatory T cell responses during EAE. Remarkably, induction of MHCII on B cells following the transfer of encephalitogenic CD4 T cells induced a rapid and robust form of EAE, while no change in the time to disease onset occurred for recipient mice in which MHCII is induced on a normal complement of APC subsets. Changes in CD4 T cell activation over time did not account for more rapid onset of EAE symptoms in this new B cell-mediated EAE model. Our system represents a novel model to study how the timing of pathogenic cognate interactions between lymphocytes facilitates the development of autoimmune attacks within the CNS. © This is an open access article, free of all copyright, and may be freely reproduced, distributed, transmitted, modified, built upon, or otherwise used by anyone for any lawful purpose.

Abstract
BackgroundPelizaeus Merzbacher disease (PMD) is a dysmyelinating disorder of the central nervous system caused by impaired differentiation of oligodendrocytes. This study was prompted by findings that antimuscarinic compounds enhance oligodendrocyte differentiation and remyelination in vitro. One of these compounds, clemastine fumarate, is licensed for treatment of allergic conditions. We tested whether clemastine fumarate can promote myelination in two rodent PMD models, the myelin-deficient and the PLP transgenic rat.MethodsPups were treated with daily injections of clemastine (10-30 mg/kg/day) on postnatal days 1-21. Neurologic phenotypes and myelination patterns in the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cords were assessed using histological techniques.ResultsNo changes in neurological phenotype or survival were observed even at the highest dose of clemastine. Postmortem staining with Luxol fast blue and myelin basic protein immunohistochemistry revealed no evidence for improved myelination in the CNS of treated rats compared to vehicle-treated littermates. Populations of mature oligodendrocytes were unaffected by the treatment.ConclusionThese results demonstrate lack of therapeutic effect of clemastine in two rat PMD models. Both models have rapid disease progression consistent with the connatal form of the disease. Further studies are necessary to determine whether clemastine bears a therapeutic potential in milder forms of PMD. © 2018 International Pediatric Research Foundation, Inc.

Abstract
Objective: To examine whether executive function (EF) is associated with nonremission and noncompletion of antidepressant pharmacotherapy in older adults with depression. Design: In this prospective study (July 2009 to May 2014), older adults (aged ≥ 60 years; n = 468) with a DSM-IV-defined major depressive episode diagnosed via structured interview received 12 weeks of venlafaxine extended release with the goal of achieving remission. A hypothesis was made that worse baseline EF would predict both nonremission and noncompletion (primary outcomes). Treatment-related factors, including side effects and nonadherence, were also studied. Methods: Baseline EF, including response inhibition and set-shifting, was assessed with subtests of the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System and the semantic fluency subtest of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). Attention, immediate memory, delayed memory, visuospatial ability, and global cognition were also assessed with the RBANS. Results: Of 468 participants, 96 (21%) failed to complete the treatment trial, 191 (41%) completed and remitted, and 181 (39%) completed and did not remit. Univariate analyses indicated that some EFs (setshifting and semantic fluency) and other cognitive variables (attention, immediate memory, visuospatial ability, and global cognition) predicted treatment noncompletion, whereas no cognitive variables predicted nonremission. In a multivariate logistic regression model, semantic fluency (P = .003), comorbid medical burden (P < .001), and early nonadherence (P < .001) were significant predictors of treatment noncompletion. Conclusions: Poorer EF predicted treatment noncompletion. These findings suggest that EFs of initiation and set maintenance (examined by the semantic fluency task) may allow depressed elderly individuals to engage and stay in treatment. Identification of those at risk for noncompletion may help implementation strategies for personalized care. © Copyright 2018 Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc.

Abstract
The utility of the scratch collapse test has been demonstrated in examination of patients with carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes and long thoracic and peroneal nerve compressions. In the authors’ clinic, this lesser known test plays a key role in peripheral nerve examination where localization of the nerve irritation or injury is not fully understood. Test utility and accuracy in patients with more challenging presentations likely correlate with tester understanding and experience. This article offers a clear outline of all stages of the test to improve interrater reliability. The nuances of test performance are described, including a description of situations where the scratch collapse test is deemed inappropriate. Four clinical scenarios where the scratch collapse test may be useful are included. Corresponding video content is provided to improve performance and interpretation of the scratch collapse test.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to identify preoperative laboratory values and patient factors that are associated with postoperative respiratory complications in pediatric neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) populations undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF) with instrumentation. Summary of Background Data: PSF in NMS patients are high-risk surgeries. Respiratory complications are the most common postoperative event, with rates up to 28.2% following surgery. Methods: A single-surgeon, two-hospital pediatric spine surgery database was reviewed to identify all patients who underwent PSF for NMS. Diagnoses included cerebral palsy (n=83), myelomeningocele (n=13), spinal muscular atrophy (n=4), and other (n=11). This study defined respiratory complications as postoperative pneumonia, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, need for reintubation, respiratory status requiring a return to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), or prolonged (>4-day) need for mechanical ventilation. Preoperative laboratory values for transferrin, prealbumin, hemoglobin/hematocrit, total protein, albumin, and total lymphocyte count were collected. Results: There were 50 males and 61 females with a mean age of 14 years 2.5 months (8–20 years). Seventeen patients (15.3%) experienced postoperative respiratory complications. On univariate analysis, any history of pneumonia, the presence of gastrostomy tube, and low transferrin levels were associated with postoperative respiratory complications, and a strong trend (p=.06) was observed for tracheostomy. On multivariate analysis, the presence of gastrostomy tube and history of pneumonia remained as clinically significant predictors of postoperative respiratory complications. Conclusion: Pediatric NMS patients undergoing PSF that have history of pneumonia or gastrostomy tube present at time of surgery are at increased risk for postoperative respiratory complications. The univariate associations of tracheostomy presence and low transferrin levels with postoperative respiratory complications deserve further examination.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of reirradiation of recurrent meningiomas and factors related to patient selection and treatment modality. Methods and Materials: Recurrent meningioma patients who failed prior stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or fractionated external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) received reirradiation using either SRS or EBRT. Complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and progression after reirradiation were evaluated using the MacDonald criteria. Local control (LC), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) after reirradiation were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with reirradiation modality and PFS, respectively. Results: Forty-three patients (14 grade 1/unknown, 29 grade 2/3) were reirradiated with SRS (67%) or EBRT (33%). Median time from initial SRS/EBRT to reirradiation was 60 months (range, 7.5-202); median tumor volume at the time of reirradiation was 4.8 cm3 (range, 0.14-64). After a median radiologic follow-up of 19.4 months, the response rate (CR + PR) was 8% for grade 1 and 20% for grade 2/3 meningiomas. After 2 years, LC was 78%, PFS was 63%, and OS was 80%. Larger tumor volume and prior SRS were associated with reirradiation using EBRT. Reirradiated grade 2/3 meningiomas had significantly worse PFS than grade 1 (2-year PFS: 50% vs 92%, respectively; P = .02) but not LC (P = .11) or OS (P = .39). On multivariable analysis, worse PFS was significantly associated with grade 2/3 histology (hazard ratio, 3.92; 95% confidence interval, 1.33-11.6) as well as worse Karnofsky Performance Scale score but not reirradiation dose, volume, and modality. Grades 3 to 4 radiation necrosis developed in 4 patients (10%). Conclusions: Reirradiation of recurrent meningiomas appears to be feasible with promising clinical outcomes and an acceptable toxicity profile. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract
Epilepsy is often associated with comorbid psychiatric illnesses that can significantly impact its long-term course. The most frequent of these psychiatric comorbidities is major depressive disorder, which affects an estimated 40% of patients with epilepsy. Many patients are underdiagnosed or undertreated, yet managing their mood symptoms is critical to improving their outcomes. When conventional psychiatric treatments fail in the management of depression, neuromodulation techniques may offer promise, including electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), as discussed in this review. This article is part of the Special Issue “Neurostimulation for Epilepsy”. © 2018

Abstract
Congenital hydrocephalus (CH), featuring markedly enlarged brain ventricles, is thought to arise from failed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) homeostasis and is treated with lifelong surgical CSF shunting with substantial morbidity. CH pathogenesis is poorly understood. Exome sequencing of 125 CH trios and 52 additional probands identified three genes with significant burden of rare damaging de novo or transmitted mutations: TRIM71 (p = 2.15 × 10−7), SMARCC1 (p = 8.15 × 10−10), and PTCH1 (p = 1.06 × 10−6). Additionally, two de novo duplications were identified at the SHH locus, encoding the PTCH1 ligand (p = 1.2 × 10−4). Together, these probands account for 10% of studied cases. Strikingly, all four genes are required for neural tube development and regulate ventricular zone neural stem cell fate. These results implicate impaired neurogenesis (rather than active CSF accumulation) in the pathogenesis of a subset of CH patients, with potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic ramifications. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

Congenital hydrocephalus (CH) is a major cause of childhood morbidity and mortality, affecting 1 in 1,000 live births and representing up to 3% of all pediatric hospital charges. Using data from the largest CH exome sequencing study to date, Furey et al. identify four genes (TRIM71, SMARCC1, PTCH1, and SHH) not previously implicated in CH. Remarkably, all four genes regulate ventricular zone neural stem cell fate and, together, explain 10% of CH cases. These findings implicate impaired neurogenesis in pathogenesis of a significant number of CH patients, with potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic ramifications.

Abstract
Tumefactive appearing lesions on brain imaging can cause a diagnostic dilemma. We report a middle-aged man who presented with right-sided optic neuritis. A brain MRI showed enhancement of the right optic nerve, and non-enhancing white matter lesions including a 3 cm right frontal lesion with adjacent gyral expansion. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed five oligoclonal bands not present in serum. Glatiramer acetate was started for suspected tumefactive multiple sclerosis (MS). A follow-up brain MRI 6 months later showed persistence of the frontal gyral expansion. A brain biopsy led to the diagnosis of an oligodendroglioma, isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant and 1 p/19q co-deleted (WHO grade II), managed with surgical resection and radiotherapy. Postoperative brain MRI showed a new enhancing periventricular lesion, making the choice of optimal disease-modifying therapy for MS challenging. This case highlights the possibility of coexistence of MS and oligodendroglioma, and emphasises the importance of a tissue diagnosis when atypical MS imaging features are present. © 2018 BMJ Publishing Group Limited.

Abstract
The mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) functions as a master circadian pacemaker, integrating environmental input to align physiological and behavioral rhythms to local time cues. Approximately 10% of SCN neurons express vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP); however, it is unknown how firing activity of VIP neurons releases VIP to entrain circadian rhythms. To identify physiologically relevant firing patterns, we optically tagged VIP neurons and characterized spontaneous firing over 3 days. VIP neurons had circadian rhythms in firing rate and exhibited two classes of instantaneous firing activity. We next tested whether physiologically relevant firing affected circadian rhythms through VIP release. We found that VIP neuron stimulation with high, but not low, frequencies shifted gene expression rhythms in vitro through VIP signaling. In vivo, high-frequency VIP neuron activation rapidly entrained circadian locomotor rhythms. Thus, increases in VIP neuronal firing frequency release VIP and entrain molecular and behavioral circadian rhythms. Mazuski et al. used optical tagging to characterize the multiday firing activity of neuropeptidergic VIP SCN neurons. They found that increases in VIP neuronal firing frequency entrain circadian rhythms through increased VIP signaling. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract
Purpose: This article reviews the history of Cuban epidemic optic neuropathy (1991-1993), which caused visual loss, peripheral neuralgias, and other neurologic symptoms in over 50,000 persons, an incidence of almost 0.5% of the entire population. The clinical findings, etiology, and treatment are described. We then relate the Cuban epidemic to the fictional epidemic of contagious blindness depicted by Nobel Laureate José Saramago in his 1995 novel Blindness. This novel describes an unnamed modern city in which all inhabitants, except the ophthalmologist’s wife, are affected with a white, not black, blindness. Design: Historical review and literary essay. Methods: The sources for the Cuban epidemic were an extensive review of the published literature and personal communications with physicians who treated these patients. Both authors have analyzed the novel and the critical literature about Saramago’s writings. Results: Though Saramago uses the epidemic of blindness as an allegory to comment on human weakness and immorality, he may also have known of the actual Cuban epidemic. Saramago was a lifelong member of the Communist party, as well as a friend of Fidel Castro and admirer of the Cuban government. We have no proof that Blindness was influenced by the Cuban epidemic, but we find it plausible. Conclusion: It is valuable to examine the real and fictional epidemics side by side, not least because Saramago’s novel depicts the actions of an ophthalmologist during an epidemic of blindness. Ophthalmologists may be interested in a novel that uses the language of eyes, vision, sight, and blindness extensively. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
