Abstract We identify the significance and typical requirements of developmental analyses of the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) in parents, offspring, and parent-offspring relations, which have particular importance for neurobehavioral outcomes in mammalian species, including humans. We call for a focus on behavioral measures of social-emotional function. Methodological approaches to interpreting relations between the microbiota and behavior are discussed.

Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) may play an important role in the development and maintenance of persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS). Post-injury breathing dysfunction, which is influenced by the ANS, has not been well-studied in youth. This study evaluated cardiorespiratory functioning at baseline in youth patients with PPCS and examined the relationship of cardiorespiratory variables with neurobehavioral outcomes. Participants were between the ages of 13–25 in two groups: (1) Patients with PPCS (concussion within the past 2–16 months; n = 13) and (2) non-injured controls (n = 12). Capnometry was used to obtain end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2), oxygen saturation (SaO2), respiration rate (RR), and pulse rate (PR) at seated rest. PPCS participants exhibited a reduced mean value of EtCO2 in exhaled breath (M = 36.3 mmHg, SD = 2.86 mmHg) and an altered inter-correlation between EtCO2 and RR compared to controls. Neurobehavioral outcomes including depression, severity of self-reported concussion symptoms, cognitive catastrophizing, and psychomotor processing speed were correlated with cardiorespiratory variables when the groups were combined. Overall, results from this study suggest that breathing dynamics may be altered in youth with PPCS and that cardiorespiratory outcomes could be related to a dimension of neurobehavioral outcomes associated with poorer recovery from concussion.

Objective:To determine the association between electroencephalographic seizure (ES) and electroencephalographic (ESE) exposure and unfavorable neurobehavioral outcomes in critically ill children with acute encephalopathy.Methods:This was a prospective cohort study of acutely encephalopathic critically ill children undergoing CEEG. ES exposure was assessed as: (1) no ES/ESE, (2) ES, or (3) ESE. Outcomes assessed at discharge included the Glasgow Outcome Scale - Extended Pediatric Version (GOS-E-Peds), Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC), and mortality. Unfavorable outcome was defined as a reduction in GOS-E-Peds or PCPC score from pre-admission to discharge. Stepwise selection was used to generate multivariate logistic regression models that assessed associations between ES exposure and outcomes while adjusting for multiple other variables.Results:Among 719 consecutive critically ill subjects, there was no evidence of ES in 535 subjects (74.4%), ES in 140 subjects (19.5%), and ESE in 44 subjects (6.1%). The final multivariable logistic regression analyses included ES exposure, age dichotomized at 1-year, acute encephalopathy category, initial EEG background category, comatose at CEEG initiation, and the Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 score. There was an association between ESE and unfavorable GOS-E-Peds (Odds Ratio 2.21, 95%CI 1.07-4.54) and PCPC (Odds Ratio 2.17, 95%CI 1.05-4.51) but not mortality. There was no association between ES and unfavorable outcome or mortality.Conclusions:Among acutely encephalopathic critically ill children, there was an association between ESE and unfavorable neurobehavioral outcomes, but no association between ESE and mortality. ES exposure was not associated with unfavorable neurobehavioral outcomes or mortality.

Introduction: oligodendrocyte injury after ischemic stroke influences the integrity of white matter, which ultimately leads to neurological deficits. Netrin-1 (NT-1) plays a crucial role in axon guidance during neural development. Also, it promotes oligodendrocyte progenitor cell proliferation. Our previous study demonstrates that netrin-1 overexpression improves neurobehavioral outcomes after ischemia by promoting focal angiogenesis. In this study, we investigate whether netrin-1 facilitates white matter recovery during focal ischemia and further to explore which specific receptor involves in the white matter reconstruction. Methods: sixty adult male ICR mice underwent adeno-associated virus (AAV) mediated AAV-Netrin-1 or AAV-GFPgene transfer. These mice received one hour transient middle artery occlusion (MCAO) and 7, 14, 28 days reperfusion at one week after the gene transfer. Western blot and immunohischemistry were used to determine the location and quantification of exogenous NT-1 expression. Neuronalbehavior test were performed to eveluate the neuralbehavioral outcomes. Oligodendrocyte progenietor cell proliferation, maturation and myelination were examined by immunohischemistry. Results: NT-1 was highly expressed in the mouse brain after two weeks of AAV-NT-1 gene transfer, which mainly expressed in neurons and astrocytes. Neurobehavioral outcomes were greatly improved at 7, 14 and 28 days after reperfusion in AAV-NT-1 treated mice compared to the GFP control mice ( p <0.05), The number of proliferated oligodendrocyte progenietor cells, mature oligodendrocytes and MBP positive neurofilaments in the corpus callosum and the striatum in the ipsilateral hemisphere at 7, 14 and 28 days after reperfusion were increased in the NT-1 treated group compared to GFP control mice ( p <0.01). NT-1 receptor DCC and Unc5H2 are involved in the proliferation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells,But only Unc5h2 was involved in the re-myelination process. Conclusion: NT-1 overexpression improves neurobehavioral outcomes and promotes oligodendrocyte progenietor cell proliferation and maturation. Oue results suggest that netrin-1 not only promotes angiogenesis but also enchances remyelination.
