Abstract
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy causes long-term health problems in patients with sepsis. This review explores the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated encephalopathy, including its effects on the blood-brain barrier, microglia activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, the inflammatory medium and neurotransmitters and its roles in amino acid balance disorders, hyperammonemia, and intestinal flora imbalance. Understanding the etiology of sepsis-associated encephalopathy may allow the development of adjunctive therapies targeting its underlying mechanism and help develop preventative strategies.
Keywords: Hyperammonemia, intestinal flora imbalance, inflammatory medium, neurotransmitters, sepsis-associated encephalopathy, mitochondrial dysfunction.

Heart and Brain Axis Targets in CNS Neurological Disorders
Recently there has been a surge of interest in delving deeper into the complex interplay between the heart and brain. This fascination stems from a growing recognition of the profound influence each organ holds over the other, particularly in the realm of central nervous system (CNS) neurological disorders. The purpose ...read more
Lifestyle Interventions to Prevent and Treat Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
More than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide. By 2050, the population affected by dementia will exceed 139 million individuals. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a pre-dementia stage, also known as prodromal dementia, affecting older adults. MCI emerges years before the manifestation of dementia but can be avoidable and ...read more

Role of glial cells in autism spectrum disorder: Molecular mechanism and therapeutic approaches
Emerging evidence suggests that glial cells may play a pivotal role in neuroanatomical and behavioral changes found in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Many individuals with ASD experience a neuro-immune system abnormalities throughout life, which implicates a potential role of microglia in the pathogenesis of ASD. Dysfunctional astrocytes and oligodendrocytes were ...read more
