Bayesian brain theories and their link to quantum mechanics
The Bayesian brain hypothesis frames the brain as a probabilistic machine, constantly updating predictions based on incoming sensory data. Emerging research explores striking parallels with quantum mechanics, suggesting that concepts like superposition and entanglement may offer deeper insights into perception, decision-making, and cognitive uncertainty, challenging traditional models and inspiring new approaches to understanding the dynamics of the mind.
Feasibility and Tolerability of Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin via Manual Push Pre-Filled Syringes for Inflammatory Neuropathies: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Latest guidelines for mild traumatic brain injury assessment
Mild traumatic brain injury, commonly known as concussion, involves subtle yet significant disruptions to brain function following external force. Updated clinical guidelines emphasise structured evaluation, recognising that symptoms may be transient but complex. Diagnosis relies heavily on clinical assessment rather than imaging, with emerging tools supporting decision-making. Careful follow-up, patient education, and graduated return-to-activity protocols are essential to promote recovery and prevent complications, reflecting an evolving, patient-centred approach to this heterogeneous condition.

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor as a late-stage treatment for delayed white matter loss in concussive head injury
BACKGROUND: Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) is an injury-induced cytokine that peaks 48 hours after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Juvenile LIF haplodeficient mice exhibit desynchronized glial responses, increased neurodegeneration, decreased axonal conductivity and behavioral deficits after a concussive head injury. Given the necessity of LIF during the acute recovery phase after injury, we hypothesized that […]
Role of anxiety in exercise intolerance and autonomic nervous system dysfunction post-concussion
CONCLUSIONS: Adults with pre-existing and post-injury anxiety experienced altered physiological responses to exercise post-concussion and completed fewer stages of the BCBT. Anxiety should be considered by clinicians when interpreting findings from exercise intolerance tests such as the BCBT.
Equestrian STAR: Development of an Experimental Methodology for Assessing the Biomechanical Performance of Equestrian Helmets
CONCLUSION: Pendulum and oblique impacts have different methods of generating head rotation, which can highlight different modes of helmet performance. The updated Equestrian STAR helmet rating system differentiates between high-performing and low-performing helmets, enabling equestrians to purchase helmets best at reducing concussion risk and providing companies with a process to compare their helmet designs.
Development of an Uncomplicated Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Model Modified by Weight-Drop Method and Evidenced by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), known as concussion, accounts for more than 85% of brain injuries globally. Specifically, uncomplicated mTBI showing negative findings in routine clinical imaging in the acute phase hinders early and appropriate care in these patients. It has been acknowledged that different impact parameters may affect and even accelerate the progress of […]
Psychological interventions for externalising behaviours following paediatric traumatic brain injury: a systematic review and clinical practice recommendations
Objective To identify and examine whether evidence-based psychological interventions reduce externalising behaviours in persons who sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in childhood and adolescence. Methods This systematic review used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Five electronic databases (i.e. MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed, EMBASE and ERIC) were systematically searched, with publication […]
