    Abstract Herein, the author summarize the basic findings on the neuropathology of inflammatory and autoimmune central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Current knowledge on infectious, demyelinating, and autoimmune diseases have also been reported. Further, I emphasize the importance of considering the neuropathology of meningitis, encephalitis, and abscesses as infectious diseases; multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica as demyelinating diseases; and vasculitis, paraneoplastic neurological syndrome, and collagen diseases as autoimmune diseases.

    Abstract Eserine, well-known as physostigmine, is classified as an alkaloid. It is a cholinesterase inhibitor and appears in Agatha Christie's novel entitled, Crooked House and Curtain: Poirot's Last Case. In clinical medicine, eserine was used as an ophthalmic treatment for glaucoma and considered as a treatment for myasthenia gravis, Alzheimer's disease, and hereditary cerebellar ataxias. Currently, it is used as a treatment for anticholinergic poisoning.

    Abstract Egon Schiele was one of the famous expressionist painters and ended his short life at the age 28 years. Based on the characteristics of his paintings, it was considered that he might have had cervical dystonia. However, the hypothesis may be wrong. The interesting things are that he might have strongly influenced by medical materials including neuropsychiatric patients seen in Salpêtrière hospital.

    Abstract Neurologists have a significant role in cancer treatment. Neuro-oncology is a novel discipline that involves the study of primary tumors and specific neurological symptoms associated with cancer and cancer treatments. Thus, neurologists must be involved in the treatment of cancer patients in Japan. In addition, it is necessary to educate and train neurologists as neuro-oncologists. With the increase in the number of cancer patients, its importance seems to increase further.

    Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has recently approved for CD-19-positive B-cell malignancies, such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in Japan. CAR-T therapy may develop cytokine release syndoromes as well as central nervous system complications (CRES/ICANS), including encephalopathy, consciousness distrubence, apahsia, seizure, motor weakness, and cerebral edema. Although the pathomechanism of CRES/ICANS remains unsolved, an appropriate intervention is important for patients. In addition, several chemotherapeutic agenets used before CAR-T cell therapy may also lead to the development of central nervous system disorders. Therefore, neurologists must be familiar with the complications of newly developed chemotherapies.

    Abstract The pathomechanisms of central nervous system disorders associated with COVID-19 remain unsolved. It is therefore imperative to carry out pathologic, virologic, and molecular analyses of the human brain tissue to understand the neurological manifestations of COVID-19. However, autopsy of COVID-19 poses challenges in terms of infection control. In this short review, the neuropathologic findings of individuals with COVID-19 were summerised and a possible autopsy methodologies to investigate these further were proposed.

    Abstract It is important to have a wide perspective to provide appropriate medical care for the oldest-old individuals. In terms of daily clinical practice, polypharmacy is an important factor that affects cognitive decline in older adults. The neuropathologic changes of dementia in the oldest-old individuals are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body disease, cerebrovascular disease, primary age-related tauopathy (PART), limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE), and aging-related tau astrogliopathy (ARTAG).

    Abstract This review focuses on neurosarcoidosis with pathological alterations in the brain. Patients with neurosarcoidosis develop several symptoms such as cranial nerve palsies, headache, consciousness disturbance, and seizures. It may be difficult to reach a definite diagnosis and carry out differential diagnosis. Sarcoidosis is characterized by noncaseating granuloma that may be seen at the dura, leptomeninges, brain (including the cranial nerves), spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Epithelioid histocytes and multinucleated giant cells, including Langhans cells, are characteristic microscopic features. In some instances, an asteroid body and a Schaumann body may be seen. In particular, infectious diseases including tuberculosis and mycosis must be ruled out. Therefore, the pathologic diagnosis of brain lesions is the gold standard for diagnosing neurosarcoidosis. In addition to prednisolone therapy, infliximab, a monoclonal antibody against tumor necrosis factor-α, has received much attention for treating neurosarcoidosis.

    Abstract Neuropathologic alterations of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) are characterized by small vessel changes such as endothelial proliferation, fibrosis, hyalinization, fibrinoid necrosis, and thrombus formation. Pathologic ischemic and hemorrhagic changes. In some instances, vasculitis and perivascular infiltration of inflammatory cells are seen. In the spinal cord, degenerative changes of entire margin of the spinal cord may also be present.
