Abstract: The glymphatic system is a critical brain waste‐clearance mechanism that facilitates the removal of metabolic byproducts and maintains neural homeostasis. Its dysfunction has been implicated in various neurological disorders; however, its role in functional (psychogenic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cnp.2019.04.005
Abstract: Highlights • Clinical observations alone often fail to discriminate functional jerky movements and jerks due to a tic disorder.• Neurophysiological studies with EEG and polymyography assist with differentiating these conditions with more certainty.• Further studies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000481453
Abstract: A 51-year-old woman developed sudden abnormal posturing of the left limbs (Fig. 1), with otherwise unremarkable neurological examination. She had no relevant medical history; she denied use of medications or illicit drugs. Brain MRI showed… read more here.
