Glyphosate, a controversial herbicide, has been approved for use in the European Union for another 10 years despite uncertainty over whether it increases the risk of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson disease. We call for new approaches to assessing the neurotoxicity of glyphosate and other pesticides and improving their regulation.
T cells that are specific for B cells infected with Epstein–Barr virus are enriched in the cerebrospinal fluid of people with early multiple sclerosis, according to new research.
Parkinson disease psychosis comprises a spectrum of illusions, hallucinations and delusions that emerge during the disease course. This Review considers clinical, neuroimaging and neurochemical evidence that might aid early identification of psychotic phenomena in people with Parkinson disease and inform new therapeutic strategies.
This Review reviews changes introduced into the US brain death/death by neurological criteria (BD/DNC) guidelines in 2023 and compares these guidelines with those formulated elsewhere in the world. The authors highlight controversies and legal challenges in BD/DNC determination and discuss future research priorities.
Growing evidence suggests a bidirectional relationship between Alzheimer disease and epilepsy. This Review summarizes the epidemiological evidence and explores the potential mechanisms that underlie the effects of epileptiform activity on cognition in people with Alzheimer disease.
In this Perspective, the authors discuss the need for neurologists to assist in court cases involving criminal behaviour that was potentially influenced by a neurological disorder. The authors review evidence linking neurological disorders with criminal activity, and advocate for the development of forensic neurology as a subspecialty of the field.
