New perspectives in diabetic neuropathy 05/31/2023

Eid et al. review the current state of knowledge of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, emphasizing how hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, against the backdrop of the unique peripheral nerve anatomy, drive bioenergetics failure and injury. Axoglial interactions, pain mechanisms, and rationale-based treatment approaches are also covered.

Representation of intergroup conflict in the human brain 05/26/2023

This NeuroView explores intergroup conflict by synthesizing intergroup differences with three group-related neurocognitive processes. We suggest that intergroup differences at the aggregated-group level and interpersonal level are neurally dissociated and independently influence group dynamics as well as ingroup-outgroup conflicts.
