The relationship between alcohol use and self-determination:psychometric characteristics of the Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire in a Hungarian sample
CONCLUSIONS: These results are consistent with other literature findings, suggesting that the questionnaire could be applied in future research. Furthermore, both autonomous motivation and satisfaction of basic psychological needs may increase the frequency of protective strategies use and reduce the extent of harmful alcohol use.PMID:38170728 (Source: Neuropsychopharmacologia Hungarica)

A sound mind in a sound body: a novel concept unravelling heterogeneity of depression
Neuropsychopharmacol Hung. 2023 Dec;25(4):183-193.ABSTRACTDepression is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition, yet we still lack both in-depth knowledge concerning its etiopathology and sufficiently efficacious treatment options. With approximately one third of patients resistant to currently available antidepressants there is a pressing need for a better understanding of depression, identifying subgroups within the highly heterogeneous illness category and to understand the divergent underlying biology of such subtypes, to help develop and personalise treatments. The TRAJECTOME project aims to address such challen...

Behavioral Variant of Frontotemporal Dementia: A Case Report of a 54-Year-Old Female Patient
Neuropsychopharmacol Hung. 2023 Dec;25(4):206-211.ABSTRACTFrontotemporal dementia is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by atrophy of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, and it is believed to primarily develop based on genetic factors. Its initial symptoms can appear relatively early, even between the ages of 40-50, affecting approximately 15-22 individuals out of 100,000 annually. The disease manifests in various forms, categorized into behavioral, aphasic, and motor variants due to its diverse presentations. The behavioral variant, constituting about half of the cases, is the most common type. It involves...

The Impact of Psychostimulants on Sleep in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Systematic Review of Polysomnography Studies
CONCLUSIONS: Although it is important to consider the impact of medication on sleep in the treatment of childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, further research is required to clarify this issue. This will enable the customization of therapeutic recommendations and plans, aligning with the principles of precision medicine, taking into account the varying research designs and sample sizes.PMID:38170732 (Source: Neuropsychopharmacologia Hungarica)

The role of psychological factors in the development and treatment of infertility
Neuropsychopharmacol Hung. 2023 Sep;25(3):123-130.ABSTRACTInfertility can be caused by several factors, thus the effective treatment of infertility is a complex and multidisciplinary task. While psychological support is an essential part of infertility treatment, there is growing evidence that the role of psychological factors is much greater, as personality and psychological factors have a significant impact on the development, long-term course, and treatment success of several somatic diseases. Exploring the possible mechanisms through which these psychological factors directly or indirectly contribute to infertility and...

Problematic internet use during the COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review and meta-analysis of prevalence data
CONCLUSION: The PIU prevalence rate during the COVID-19 pandemic in the general population was 7.9%. Measuring the prevalence of PIU remains complicated due to the large methodological and cultural diversity that exists, so global prevalence estimates of PIU vary substantially. More methodologically sound research on psychodiagnostic assessment and cultural variances is required.

Memories of the Future - A Narrative Literature Review of Episodic Future Thinking
This article introduces the neural network processes underlying episodic future thinking, with particular emphasis on the significance of the hippocampus. It outlines the constructive episodic simulation hypothesis, suggesting that episodic memory and episodic future thinking largely rely on similar neural substrates and assumes that a primary function of the episodic memory system is to flexibly reorganize units of individual, contextual memories to simulate possible future events for the individual. The article presents research results related to memory deficits, as it can be presumed that impairment of autobiographical...
