The value of Lp(a) and TG/HDLC in peripheral blood to assess the stability of carotid plaque in patients with ischemic stroke
ConclusionLp(a) and TG/HDL-C have certain value in evaluating the stability of carotid atherosclerotic plaque in patients with acute ischemic stroke, and the increased levels of LP (a) and TG/HDL-C will significantly increase the risk of carotid unstable plaque in patients.

Discrepancy of social cognition between bipolar disorders and major depressive disorders
ConclusionsThe findings indicate that depression severity scores in BD were inversely related to MASC-CH scores. In contrast, this relationship was not observed in the MDD group. These results underscore the importance of SC impairments as distinguishing characteristics of both BD and MDD. It provides valuable insights into the distinct social-cognitive profiles of both mood disorders. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

No significant change of N6 ‐methyladenosine modification landscape in mouse brain after morphine exposure
ConclusionThis study showed that the overall m6A modification level and mRNA expression levels of m6A-associated factors were not affected after acute and chronic morphine exposure in different brain regions, indicating m6A modification may not be involved in brain response to morphine exposure.

A lack of drebrin causes olfactory impairment
ConclusionThese results indicate that drebrin is necessary for normal olfactory function. Further study is needed to determine whether it is necessary for normal olfaction to express drebrin E during the developmental stage or to have drebrin (whether E or A) present after maturation.

Effect of cannabis use on blood levels of brain ‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF): A systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionThis systematic review highlights the need for further research to elucidate the relationship between cannabis use and these neurotrophic factors. A better understanding of these associations can contribute to our knowledge of the neurobiological effects of cannabis and inform potential implications for mental health, cognitive function, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Brain ‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in panic disorder: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionThis systematic review and meta-analysis provide evidence of lower BDNF protein levels in individuals diagnosed with panic disorder compared to healthy controls. The findings suggest a potential role for BDNF dysregulation in the pathophysiology of panic disorder. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic implications. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Turkish validity and reliability study on the quick aphasia battery
ConclusionAll the study results show that QAB-TR has internal consistency, criterion validity, test –retest reliability, and inter-rater reliability. It can be administered in as little as 15 min and provides information about the multidimensional linguistic profiles of individuals. QAB-TR can be used for both clinical and study purposes as a language battery that allows for the measurement of the strengths and weaknesses of Turkish-speaking individuals who have suffered a stroke in basic language areas in acute and chronic periods. It can be easily administered at the bedside for individuals who have just suffered an a...
