    Abstract "Good science" means answering important questions convincingly, a challenging endeavor under the best of circumstances. Our inability to replicate many biomedical studies has been the subject of numerous commentaries both in the scientific and lay press. In response, statistics has re-emerged as a necessary tool to improve the objectivity of study conclusions. However, psychological aspects of decision making introduce preconceived preferences into scientific judgment that cannot be eliminated by any statistical method. The psychology of decision making, expounded by Kahneman, Tversky, and Thaler, is well known in the field of economics, but the underlying concepts of cognitive psychology are also relevant to scientific judgments. I repeated experiments carried out on undergraduates by Kahneman and colleagues four to five decades ago, but with scientists, and obtained essentially the same results. The experiments were in the form of written reactions to scenarios, and participants were scientists at all career stages. The findings reinforce the roles that two inherent intuitions play in scientific decision making: our drive to create a coherent narrative from new data regardless of its quality or relevance and our inclination to seek patterns in data whether they exist or not. Moreover, we do not always consider how likely a result is regardless of its

    Abstract Generalized status epilepticus (SE) triggers a robust neuroinflammatory response involving reactive astrocytosis, activation of brain-resident microglia, and brain infiltration of CCR2+ monocytes. Multiple lines of evidence indicate that quenching SE-induced neuroinflammation can alleviate the adverse consequences of SE, including neuronal damage and cognitive impairments. Our recent findings show that blocking monocyte brain entry after SE, via global Ccr2 KO, rescues several SE-induced adverse effects including blood-brain barrier (BBB) erosion, microgliosis and neuronal damage while enhancing weight regain. The goals of the present study were to determine if CCR2 antagonism with a small molecule after SE replicates the effects of the CCR2 knockout. Male Ccr2

    Abstract Abstract Generalized status epilepticus (SE) triggers a robust neuroinflammatory response involving reactive astrocytosis, activation of brain-resident microglia, and brain infiltration of CCR2+ monocytes. Multiple lines of evidence indicate that quenching SE-induced neuroinflammation can alleviate the adverse consequences of SE, including neuronal damage and cognitive impairments. Our recent findings show that blocking monocyte brain entry after SE, via global Ccr2 KO, rescues several SE-induced adverse effects including blood–brain barrier (BBB) erosion, microgliosis and neuronal damage while enhancing weight regain. The goals of the present study were to determine if CCR2 antagonism with a small molecule after SE replicates the effects of the CCR2 knockout. Male Ccr2 +/rfp heterozygous mice were subject to intraperitoneal injection of kainic acid, scored for seizure severity, weight recovery, and nest building capability. Surviving mice were randomized into CCR2 antagonist and vehicle groups. The CCR2 antagonist, or vehicle, was administered 24- and 48-h post-SE via oral gavage, and mice were sacrificed three days post-SE. Mice subject to the CCR2 antagonist displayed faster weight recovery between one- and three-days post-SE and modestly enhanced ability to build a nest on the third day after SE when compared to vehicle-treated controls. CCR2 antagonism limited monocyte recruitment to the hippocampus and reduced numbers of Iba1+ macrophages. The mRNA levels of inflammatory mediators were depressed by 47%, and glial markers were reduced by 30% in mice treated with the CCR2 antagonist compared to controls. Astrocytosis was reduced in four brain regions. Neuroprotection was observed in the hippocampus, and erosion of the BBB was lessened in mice subject to the antagonist. Our findings provide proof-of-concept that brief CCR2 antagonism beginning one day after SE can alleviate multiple adverse SE-induced effects, including functional impairment, and identify circulating CCR2+ monocytes as a viable therapeutic ...

    Abstract NP10679 is a context-dependent and subunit-selective negative allosteric modulator of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. It is a more potent inhibitor of GluN2B-containing NMDA receptors at the acidic levels of extracellular pH (eg, 6.9) found in the penumbral regions associated with cerebral ischemia than at physiological pH. This property allows NP10679 to act selectively in ischemic tissue while minimizing the nonselective blockade of NMDA receptors in healthy brain, thereby reducing on-target adverse effects. We report the results of a first-in-human pharmacokinetic and safety phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers receiving single or multiple doses of NP10679 (NCT04007263). We found that NP10679 was well-tolerated and with a half-life of 20 hours, which is amenable to once per day dosing. The only notable side effect in this clinical trial was modest somnolence at higher doses, atypical in that the subject could easily be aroused. The overall results suggest that NP10679 is a candidate for further development for use in acute brain injury, such as ischemic stroke or aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, as well as for use in neuropsychiatric indications.

    Abstract Long-term cognitive and affective impairments are common problems in the survivors of sepsis, which weakens their vocational and daily life ability. Neuroinflammation has been reported to exert a key role in the development of cognitive deficit in different disorders including epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and stroke. Mice treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin produced by gram-negative bacteria, show a robust but short-lived neuroinflammation and develop long-term memory and affective problems. In this study, we test the hypothesis that pharmacological blockade of the EP2 receptor for prostaglandin E2 reduces neuroinflammation and prevents long-term affective and memory deficits in a mouse model of LPS-induced, sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). Our results show that an EP2 antagonist, TG6-10-1, promotes the recovery of body weight, mitigates neuroinflammation as judged by inflammatory cytokines and microgliosis, prevents the loss of synaptic proteins, and ameliorates depression-like behavior in the sucrose preference test as well as memory loss in the novel object recognition test. Our results point to a new avenue to ameliorate neuroinflammation and long-term affective and cognition problems of sepsis survivors.

    Abstract Modulation of a specific prostanoid synthase or receptor provides therapeutic alternatives to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for treating pathological conditions governed by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2 or PTGS2). Among the COX-2 downstream signaling pathways, the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP2 subtype (PTGER2) is emerging as a crucial mediator of many physiological and pathological events. Genetic ablation strategies and recent advances in chemical biology provide tools for a better understanding of EP2 signaling. In the brain, the EP2 receptor modulates some beneficial effects, including neuroprotection, in acute models of excitotoxicity, neuroplasticity, and spatial learning via cAMP-PKA signaling. Conversely, EP2 activation accentuates chronic inflammation mainly through the cAMP-Epac pathway, likely contributing to delayed neurotoxicity. EP2 receptor activation also engages β-arrestin in a G-protein-independent pathway that promotes tumor cell growth and migration. Understanding the conditions under which multiple EP2 signaling pathways are engaged might suggest novel therapeutic strategies to target this key inflammatory prostaglandin receptor.
