In organ culture throughout ganglia, comparable fixation was predicted to increase tyrosine hydroxylase execution [55].…”

Venom is a natural source of therapeutically active compounds, exhibiting pharmacological action. Nerve growth factors represent a group of proteins responsible for the upkeep and separation of thoughtful and tangible neurons of the fringe sensory system of vertebrates. Many arthropods have been the moderate source of nerve growth factors with contradictory outcomes. Many studies report many diverse nerve growth factors, which are therapeutically and biologically active but differ widely in their isoelectric properties, immunological cross-reactivity with antibodies to mouse b-NGF, endogenous levels of ester peptidase activity as well as molecular weight.

“…The thalamus is a vital structure of the CNS. It is located in the center of the brain from where it essentially acts as a relay to the vast majority of sensory inputs that span diverse cortical regions [ [14] , [15] , [16] ]. Notably, these regions have a wide range of different cognitive functions, including perception, attention, memory, and executive decision-making, via different modulatory types of thalamus-related circuits.…”

“…The thalamus is one of the most important units of the human brain and is made up of five major functional units that involve high‐level cognitive processes, sensory and motor functions, language, as well as emotions and motivation. 1 , 2 Bilateral thalamic infarction is a rare form of cerebral infarction. Previous studies have shown that it accounts for only 0.6% of all forms of cerebral infarcts.…”

Key Clinical Message Bilateral thalamic infarction in paramedian artery territory may present with severe acute illness, confusion, coma and memory impairment. However, subtle clinical presentation as in our case should alert the clinician to consider such a diagnosis as it can be associated with good prognosis. Abstract Bilateral thalamic infarct is a rare form of stroke. Mostly thalamic infarcts are unilateral. In most cases, bilateral thalamic infarction leads to cognitive dysfunction, opthalmoparesis, conscious impairment, behavioral disturbance, and corticospinal dysfunction. Here, we describe the case of a 75‐year‐old male patient who presented to the emergency department of our hospital with agitation and somnolence for one day. He had poorly controlled hypertension. There was no previous history of stroke, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, known cardiac disease, or smoking history. There was no seizure, recent headache, or visual disturbance. The patient was somnolent and not oriented to time, person, or place. Neurological examination did not show any focal weakness or vertical eye movement restrictions. Other systemic examinations, including those of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, were unremarkable. Extensive laboratory investigations excluded potential metabolic, infectious, endocrine, or toxic etiologies. The patient did not have any recent history of drug misuse, including benzodiazepines. Brain MRI with diffusion‐weighted imaging showed an acute bilateral thalamic infarct. Cerebral angiography was unremarkable. The patient was treated with low molecular weight heparin 60 mg subcutaneously, aspirin 300 mg daily, and haloperidol 5 mg twice daily for agitation. After two weeks of intrahospital treatment, his condition improved (consciousness and orientation massively improved).
