  • Your Brain Changes With the Seasons
  • null

    You vary your clothing with the seasons, pulling out the sweaters and boots in the fall and the sandals in spring. You swap out bedding with the seasons, smoothing a duvet on in the winter and a lighter coverlet in the summer. But did you know your brain also changes with the seasons? A new study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that the way our brains operate can switch, based on seasonal changes.

    The research was conducted at the University of Liege in Belgium, and while the sample size was small, with only 28 people studied, it still sheds some interesting light on how our brains perform. Researchers looked at the cognitive brain function of participants who spent 4.5 days in a lab during each season of the year. They were purposely placed away from seasonal cues, such as daylight coming in from windows, and any access to the external world. Researchers then scanned their brains while they performed tasks, and looked at the participants' abilities to pay attention, and to store, update and compare information in their memories.

    Researchers studying whether botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) A, BoNT/D and tetanus toxin (TeNT) can spread within networks of neurons to have distal effects found that indeed they do. Specifically, they found that while the toxins act on the targeted neurons, they are also taken up, via an alternative pathway, where they are transported and released to exert effects on upstream neurons.

    The result, at least in a lab dish, is long-distance effects, according to the study, epublished August 4 in Cell Reports. According to a university press release on the study, the concern isn't new. In 2009, the FDA added a warning in prescribing information, noting that botulinum toxin may spread from the area of injection to produce symptoms consistent with botulism, such as unexpected loss of strength or muscle weakness, swallowing and breathing difficulties that can be life-threatening.

    Fall Skin Care Tips
  • 7 Additional Uses for Botox
  • yellow_researcher_portrait.jpg

    Besides being effective in treating rhytides, Botox and other botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) are also efficacious for seven non-cosmetic indications, according to a review in the August issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Migraines, upper limb spasticity, neuropathic pain, facial dystonias, facial nerve palsy and aberrant regeneration, hand tremor and palmer hyperhidrosis all benefited from BoNT, with high-quality evidence to support good responses.

    "Neuropathic pain and hand tremor are two less known uses for BoNT and may be a surprise to some clinicians," lead author Marie E. Noland, M.D., senior plastic surgery resident physician at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, tells Cosmetic Surgery Times. Dr. Noland says that BoNT's versatility is effective at multiple sites in the body, "including but not limited to the neuromuscular junction, the ubiquitous relay center between all nerves and muscles, making almost any location in the body a possibility for targeted therapy."
