Article Abstract

Objective: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by cognitive deficits (e.g., interference control) and altered reward processing. Cognitive control is influenced by incentive motivation and according to current theoretical models, ADHD is associated with abnormal interactions between incentive motivation and cognitive control. However, the neural mechanisms by which reward modulates cognitive control in individuals with ADHD are unknown.

Method: We used event-related functional resonance imaging (fMRI) to study neural responses during a rewarded Stroop color-word task in adolescents (14-17 years) with ADHD (n = 25; 19 boys) and healthy controls (n = 33; 22 boys).

Results: Adolescents with ADHD showed increased reward signaling within the superior frontal gyrus and ventral striatum (VS) relative to controls. Importantly, functional connectivity analyses revealed a hyperconnectivity between VS and motor control regions in the ADHD group, as a function of reward-cognitive control integration. Connectivity was associated with performance improvement in controls but not in the ADHD group, suggesting inefficient connectivity.

Conclusion: Adolescents with ADHD show increased neural sensitivity to rewards and its interactions with interference control in VS and motor regions, respectively. The findings support theoretical models of altered reward-cognitive control integration in individuals with ADHD.

This study seeks to answer the research question: "How does the literature present the Primary Health Care approach to intimate partner violence against women?", with the objective of analyzing the factors that interfere with this approach. The methodology was based on the construction of a scoping review, where the search strategy was applied in the databases: CINAHL, Embase, LILACS, PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science and gray literature. Forty six studies related to the approach to this type of crime in Primary Health Care were selected.

The ability to slow down light at the single-photon level has applications in quantum information processing and other quantum technologies. We demonstrate two methods, both using just a single artificial atom, enabling dynamic control over microwave light velocities in waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED). Our methods are based on two distinct mechanisms harnessing the balance between radiative decay and nonradiative decoherence rates of a superconducting artificial atom in front of a mirror.

Cellular resource limitations create unintended interactions among synthetic gene circuit modules, compromising circuit modularity. This challenge is particularly pronounced in circuits with positive feedback, where uneven resource allocation can lead to Winner-Takes-All (WTA) behavior, favoring one module at the expense of others. In this study, we experimentally implemented a Negatively Competitive Regulatory (NCR) controller using CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) and evaluated its effectiveness in mitigating WTA behavior in two gene circuits: dual self-activation and cascading bistable switch.

Species-specific gene expression manipulation in humanized livers of chimeric mice via siRNA-encapsulated lipid nanoparticle treatment.

Liver-humanized chimeric mice (PXB-mice) are widely utilized for predicting human pharmacokinetics (PK) and as human disease models. However, residual metabolic activity of mouse hepatocytes in chimeric mice can interfere with accurate human PK estimation. Lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-formulated small interfering RNA (siRNA) treatment makes it possible to eliminate the shortcomings of chimeras and create new models.
