Objective: Describing the occurrence of infections in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) treated with fingolimod and with different degrees of lymphopenia in our unit. Patients and Methods: Observational, descriptive, longitudinal, and retrospective study in the Hospital Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI. Patients with RRMS and treatment with fingolimod were grouped based on lymphocyte count and infections. Quantitative variables were expressed as mean, standard deviation, and interquartile range;qualitative variables were expressed as frequencies and percentages. Results: 110 patients, 76 (69.1%) female, 34 (30.9%) male, mean age 38.3 years (17-63, SD 9.85). Mean of initial expanded disability status scale 1.59 (0-5.5, SD 1.15) with a mean diagnosis time of 63.6 months (3-252, SD 50.96). Prior to starting fingolimod, 90.09% of patients had lymphocyte count >1,000. At six months of treatment, 35.64% had lymphocyte >1,000. At twelve months 32.95% had lymphocyte from 501 to 700. At 24 months, 34.21% had lymphocyte from 701 to 1,000. Of the 110 patients, 31.8% had mild infections, of which pharyngitis was reported in 10%, gastroenteritis 2.7%, urinary tract infection 10.9%, HPV infection 0.9%, SARS-CoV-2 infection 3.6%, ophthalmic herpes 0.9%, molluscum contagiosum 0.9%, oral candidiasis 0.9%. 68.18% did not present infections of any kind, no serious infections were reported even with lymphocyte levels below 200. Conclusions: Selective lymphopenia caused by fingolimod was not associated with infections of any kind in this population even at levels of 200-500 cells/mm³.

Without having yet emerged from a pandemic, we are now facing another conflict that will have an impact on mortality and the global economy. War is a social conflict that goes with the same history of humanity and it is usually experienced not only between nations but also within each country, each small society, and even within families. Neurologists often find it necessary to certify that the patriarch or the mother of a family is unable to make decisions due to a fixed or progressive cognitive deterioration, while the children break their ties out of economic ambition or simply for the sake of power. The same happens in social groups, organizations, and societies. The quest to have more, the envy, the desire to transcend or to feel powerful makes people’s and nations’ leaders to be both admired and hated at the same time. The followers will applaud the aggressions, while the opponents will mark distance and will try to convince others about the unfairness of the warlike maneuver that the leader is exercising. The same happens with organizations: the representative tends to forget those who supported him and exercises their power by rewarding those close to them, their friends, and cornering those who dare to raise their voices demanding justice or at least space.

Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a rare neurological disorder that affects 20-40% of paralytic and non-paralytic polio survivors. It is estimated that about 15 million people worldwide are survivors of the polio infection that occurred during the 1940s and 1950s, until the vaccine was first introduced. Its main characteristic is the appearance of de novo muscle weakness or its increase and atrophy, accompanied by other symptoms such as fatigue, joint, bone or muscle pain, intolerance to cold, and bulbar symptoms (involvement of swallowing, speech and breathing). PPS usually affects performance in daily activities with a negative effect on patients’ quality of life. We present two cases with a diagnosis of PPS, with a current review of the lit-erature.

Purpose: This study was to deepen into the electro-clinical relationship and source analysis of absence seizures in childhood. Methods: Thirty-three subjects were studied with clinical and electrophysiological diagnosis of absence seizures without antiepileptic medication, video-electroencephalogram was applied. We obtained clinical behavior and electrophysiological variables during seizures and General Linear Model was applied, with p < 0.05. Source analysis was carried out with VARETA method. Results: 174 seizures were evaluated. 75.75% showed interictal epileptiform discharges (IED) and 12.12% showed posterior delta activity. There was an unequal behavior in relation with total electro-clinical seizures and presence or no of IED (p = 0.02), namely between subjects without IED in EEG and multifocal EEG (p = 0.008). Quantity of seizures recorded during HPV had a different behavior between subjects without IED in EEG and multifocal EEG (p = 0.03) and between focal and multifocal EEG (p = 0.04). Source analysis (VARETA) evidence the onset frontal of seizures in 57.47%, mesial and dorsolateral regions in 43% and 57%, respectively. Conclusion: These data suggest that absence seizures are not “generalized” if we considered global cortical activation but rather involve localized discharges from specific cortical regions, mainly frontal lobe.

In recent years, the control of physiological processes has been strengthened, which show metabolic changes that can generate effects at a neuronal level. Our objective is to review what has been described as conscious breathing theory and how this can affect cognitive tasks, which have been described as very affected in adults and which reduce with age. How-ever, we have begun to understand a new phenomenon of andragogic learning, which indicates that the task of learning must be understood differently, and that attention is something that must be understood as something that does not decrease with age but changes. It also seems that conscious breathing tasks can improve this type of task and that it can be beneficial. What has been published suggests that breathing, or at least conscious breathing exercise, improves certain cellular and neuronal capacities and that this can lead to real changes in cognitive tasks in adults.

Abstract Neuropsychological rehabilitation is the discipline in charge of treating the cognitive, emotional and behavioral disorders that origi-nate as a result of brain damage, due to traumatic brain injury, hypoxia, stroke or tumors. We made a review of the tools for traditional and virtual neuropsychological rehabilitation, to determine the influence of each in the process of neuropsychological rehabilitation. The results revealed that two methods are reliable and valid in the processes of intervention for these kind of patients; however at the moment the virtual rehabilitation is generating easier access to this system, due to the creation of software specialized in rehabilitation. In conclusion, the review established that the two modalities are adequate, but the virtual modality has been developed for more integration of technological and scientific advances, resulting in improvement in a short time and with less cost.

Hypoxia-induced factor 1 (HIF-1) plays a fundamental role in the response to low oxygen tension, since it regulates the expression of a wide variety of genes, whose products participate in processes such as angiogenesis, energy metabolism, erythropoiesis, and cell proliferation as well as in the process of neurogenesis, which involves various stages, such as proliferation of neuronal stem cells, migration, differentiation, survival of new neurons, and integration of the same. Among the many intrinsic and extrinsic molecular signals that regulate the production of new neurons from progenitor cells in the adult in the central nervous system (CNS), hypoxic damage plays an important role in the maintenance and function of stem cells in development and disease.

Background: In Latin America, research in neuroscience and psychology has had a continuous development; however, the magnitude of this development and its impact on the comparison to other regions or countries has not been well studied. Objective: The objective of the study was to carry out a bibliometric analysis of scientific productivity in neuroscience and psychology in Latin America. Methods: We consulted the Scimago Journal and Country Rank database to obtain the clas-sification of the Latin American countries in these knowledge disciplines, during the period from 2015 to 2020. Results: We found 32 Latin American countries with citable documents in these disciplines. Notably, 90% of Latin American scientific productivity is concentrated in five countries: Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia, with Brazil being the leading country in all cases. Conclusions: Research in neuroscience and psychology in Latin America has had a sustained and moderate growth. However, it is highly circumscribed in these five countries.
