Distinct brain alterations and neurodegenerative processes in cognitive impairment associated with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19

Abstract Although brain alterations have been reported in post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), their prevalence and relationship to neurodegeneration remain unclear. We analyzed blood proteins and brain MRI from individuals approximate...

Effect of probiotics on cognitive function and cardiovascular risk factors in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease: an umbrella meta-analysis

Abstract Background This umbrella meta-analysis evaluates the effects of probiotics on cognitive function and metabolic health in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by synthesizing findings from meta-analyses of ra...

Problem-Based Learning Approach to Review the Principles of Green Chemistry Applied to a Polycondensation Reaction

Science Education International ¦ Volume 32 ¦ Issue 2 107 ORIGINAL ARTICLE INTRODUCTION The problem-based learning (PBL) methodology is a student-centered approach that is related to the learning process that occurs when students deal w...

Cognitive biases in nursing students' clinical decision-making: insights from high-fidelity simulation using think-aloud and observational methods

BackgroundCognitive biases are systematic errors in human reasoning that can compromise clinical decision-making (CDM) in healthcare. While extensively studied in medicine, nursing research on cognitive biases in CDM remains limited.AimThis...

The neuropsychological impact of early childhood trauma on cognitive development: A narrative review of mechanisms, outcomes, and interventions

Abstract Research indicates that early traumatic experiences can profoundly affect a child's ability to manage emotions, develop social skills, and adapt effectively. Still, the impact of trauma on children goes beyond just emotional and be...

Experience in a Climate Microworld: Influence of Surface and Structure Learning, Problem Difficulty, and Decision Aids in Reducing Stock-Flow Misconceptions

Research shows that people’s wait-and-see preferences for actions against climate change are a result of several factors, including cognitive misconceptions. The use of simulation tools could help reduce these misconceptions concerning Eart...

Editorial: Task-Related Brain Systems Revealed by Human Imaging Experiments

Stress Levels Escalate When Repeatedly Performing Tasks Involving Threats

Police work may include performing repeated tasks under the influence of psychological stress, which can affect perceptual, cognitive and motor performance. However, it is largely unknown how repeatedly performing stressful tasks physically...

The effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation on psychological factors in athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Objective Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe, non-invasive neuromodulation method that delivers a low-intensity, constant direct current through electrodes positioned on the scalp. Therefore, the purpose of th...

Neural circuitry governing anxious individuals’ mis-allocation of working memory to threat

Abstract Dispositional anxiety is a trait-like phenotype that confers increased risk for a range of debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders. Like many patients with anxiety disorders, individuals with elevated levels of dispositional anxiet...

Thematic structure of clinically oriented prefrontal function assessment and intervention research: a keyword network analysis

Abstract Background The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been extensively investigated in relation to higher-order cognition, emotional regulation, and behavioural control, particularly within clinically oriented studies addressing psychiatric s...

Malay and Cebuano ditransitives: A minimalist perspective

In the tradition of the generative school of thought in linguistics, the Universal Grammar (UG) is in the forefront in shifting linguistics from behavioral to cognitive science making linguistics an integral part of the study of cognition (...

Fertility and Iron Bioaccumulation in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Fed with Magnetite Nanoparticles Using a Validated Method

Research on nanomaterial exposure-related health risks is still quite limited; this includes standardizing methods for measuring metals in living organisms. Thus, this study validated an atomic absorption spectrophotometry method to determi...

Identification of Lichen Based on Substrate in Bale Village, Tanantovea District, Donggala Regency

Lichens are associations between fungi and photosynthetic symbionts, such as algae or cyanobacteria, that form stable and specialized thallus structures. The fungi that predominantly compose the lichen body belong to the Ascomycetes, while ...

Characterization of thermally treated polypropylene powders with wide sintering window for powder bed fusion of polymers

One key issue restricting semi-crystalline polymers to be widely applied in powder bed fusion (PBF) of polymers is lack of good powder processability, especially a wide sintering window. In this work, a thermal treatment method with mixed d...

Engineered Bacterial Cellulose Nanostructured Matrix for Incubation and Release of Drug-Loaded Oil in Water Nanoemulsion

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a highly pure form of cellulose produced by bacteria, which possesses numerous advantages such as good mechanical properties, high chemical flexibility, and the ability to assemble in nanostructures. Thanks to th...

Physicochemical characterization and source apportionment of Arctic ice-nucleating particles observed in Ny-Ålesund in autumn 2019

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) initiate primary ice formation in Arctic mixed-phase clouds (MPCs), altering cloud radiative properties and modulating precipitation. For atmospheric INPs, the complexity of their spatiotemporal variations, h...

A comparative life cycle assessment of viscose fibers derived from cotton, wood, and bamboo pulp
