Article Abstract
The thalamus, located between the cerebrum and midbrain, is a nuclear complex connected to the cerebral cortex that influences motor skills, cognition, and mood. The thalamus is composed of 50-60 nuclei and can be divided into four areas according to vascular supply. In addition, it can be divided into five areas according to function. Many studies have reported on a thalamic infarction causing motor or sensory changes, but few have reported on behavioral and executive aspects of the ophthalmoplegia of the thalamus. This study reports a rare case of a paramedian thalamus infarction affecting the dorsomedial area of the thalamus, manifesting as oculomotor nerve palsy, an abnormal behavioral change, and executive dysfunction. This special case is presented with a review of the anatomical basis and function of the thalamus.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in minors with gender dysphoria (GD) seeking transition treatments, including puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. The developing child's brain exhibits structural and functional differences in children with GD compared to cisgender children, particularly in areas where sex differences exist. Brain development during childhood and adolescence is strongly influenced by sex hormones.

Introduction: Among individuals who are amyloid biomarker-positive or apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 carriers, arterial stiffness reflected by higher pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been associated with lower cognition cross-sectionally. Less is known about longitudinal associations.
Methods: The sample included 152 older adults without dementia.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine cognitive dysfunction in a Brazilian sample of SLE patients for two years.
Methods: A sample of 50 individuals with SLE was assessed at baseline for epidemiological and treatment data, disease activity by SLEDAI 2K (SLE disease activity 2000), cumulative damage by SLICC/ACR DI (Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index), depression by CES-D (Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression) and cognitive function through MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment). The same assessment was repeated after two years.

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.
Purpose: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) have a bidirectional, synergistic, and complicated relationship. Although it is difficult to definitively say that mTBI causes AUD, certain biological mechanisms that occur after trauma are also associated with hazardous alcohol use. Hazardous drinking is defined as any quantity or pattern of alcohol consumption that places people at risk for physical and/or psychological harm.

As such, anything that affects a person's ability to engage in sex and intimacy has the potential to significantly impact their mental health. It is well known that stoma-forming surgery can leave ostomates with body-image issues and a profound feeling of lack of control over their body.
