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...

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...
