Disentangling the neurobiological bases of temporal impulsivity in Huntington's disease
ConclusionsThe present findings highlight the importance of investigating the spectrum of temporal impulsivity in HD. As, while less prevalent than other psychiatric features, this symptom is still reported to significantly impact the quality of life of patients and caregivers. This study provides evidence that individual differences observed in temporal impulsivity may be explained by variability in limbic frontostriatal tracts, while shedding light on the role of sensitivity to reward in modulating impulsive behavior through the selection of immediate rewards.

Genetic causal association between physical activities and epilepsy: A Mendelian randomization study
ConclusionsOur findings suggested that PA with accelerometer monitoring may potentially reduce the risk of focal epilepsy, while there is no evidence supporting causal association between self-reported MPA or VPA and either focal or generalized epilepsy. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Emotions and motivations of gambling: A comparison between scratch card, slot ‐machines, and casino gamblers
ConclusionThe pathological gamblers have a more intense and internal connection with the game (have more Enhancement and Coping motives, Positive and Negative Emotion). In sum, our findings support the theoretical hypothesis that gambling can be a tool for regulating emotions. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Dulaglutide treatment reverses depression ‐like behavior and hippocampal metabolomic homeostasis in mice exposed to chronic mild stress
ConclusionThe antidepressant effects of dulaglutide in a CMS depression model were confirmed. We identified 64 different metabolites and four major pathways associated with metabolic pathophysiological processes. These primary data provide a new perspective for understanding the antidepressant-like effects of dulaglutide and may facilitate the use of dulaglutide as a potential therapeutic strategy for depression.

Serum sodium level fluctuations following the resection of childhood ‐onset craniopharyngioma
ConclusionsSerum sodium levels after craniopharyngioma resection in children showed a triphasic pattern in most cases. The risk of postoperative hyponatremia varied depending on preoperative endocrine hormone deficiency, tumor status (primary or recurrent), and surgical approach. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Perioperative complications of arteriovenous tirofiban administration versus oral dual antiplatelet therapy for stent ‐assisted embolization treated aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: A retrospective, controlled cohort analysis
ConclusionThis study indicated that an improved perioperative antiplatelet drug tirofiban was an independent protective factor for perioperative TEs in stent-assisted embolization of ruptured intracranial aneurysms, but it did not impart an elevated risk of perioperative HEs and had no significant effects on the near-term prognosis of the patients.

Functional neurological signs in hypermobile Ehlers –Danlos syndrome and hypermobile spectrum disorders with suspected neuropathic pain
ConclusionsThe presence of FNS in hEDS/HSD deserves better clinical detection and formal diagnosis of FND to offer more adequate care in co-morbid situations. In fact, FND can severely interfere with rehabilitation efforts in hEDS/HSD, and FND-targeted physical therapy should perhaps be combined with EDS/HSD-specific approaches.

Sex and race differences in the association of albumin with cognitive function in older adults
ConclusionsOur study suggests that elevated albumin levels are associated with a decreased incidence of cognitive function impairment, particularly in older men and Blacks. This finding indicates that maintaining high levels of albumin may be beneficial for cognitive function in older adults. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

A review of methods for assessment of cognitive function in high ‐altitude hypoxic environments
AbstractHypoxic environments like those present at high altitudes may negatively affect brain function. Varying levels of hypoxia, whether acute or chronic, are previously shown to impair cognitive function in humans. Assessment and prevention of such cognitive impairment require detection of cognitive changes and impairment using specific cognitive function assessment tools. This paper summarizes the findings of previous research, outlines the methods for cognitive function assessment used at a high altitude, elaborates the need to develop standardized and systematic cognitive function assessment tools for high-altitude h...
