Article Abstract
Neurodevelopmental disabilities are the most common noncardiac conditions in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Executive function skills have been frequently observed to be decreased among children and adults with CHD compared with peers, but a neuroanatomical basis for the association is yet to be identified. In this study, we quantified sulcal pattern features from brain magnetic resonance imaging data obtained during adolescence among 41 participants with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) and 49 control participants using a graph-based pattern analysis technique. Among patients with ToF, right-hemispheric sulcal pattern similarity to the control group was decreased (0.7514 vs. 0.7553, P = 0.01) and positively correlated with neuropsychological testing values including executive function (r = 0.48, P < 0.001). Together these findings suggest that sulcal pattern analysis may be a useful marker of neurodevelopmental risk in patients with CHD. Further studies may elucidate the mechanisms leading to different alterations in sulcal patterning.

Coupling of Event-Related Potential and Pupil Dilation as a Compensatory Marker of Executive Attention in Traumatic Brain Injury.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) impairs attention and executive function, often through disrupted coordination between cognitive and autonomic systems. While electroencephalography (EEG) and pupillometry are widely used to assess neural and autonomic responses independently, little is known about how these systems interact in TBI. Understanding their coordination is essential to identify compensatory mechanisms that may support attention under conditions of neural inefficiency.

Introduction: This study investigates four subdomains of executive functioning-initiation, cognitive inhibition, mental shifting, and working memory-using task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data and graph analysis.
Methods: We used healthy adults' functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to construct brain connectomes and network graphs for each task and analyzed global and node-level graph metrics.
Results: The bilateral precuneus and right medial prefrontal cortex emerged as pivotal hubs and influencers, emphasizing their crucial regulatory role in all four subdomains of executive function.

Ketamine for Depression, but at What Cost? A Review of Ketamine's Neurotoxic Effects From Preclinical and Human Studies.

This review examines ketamine's neurotoxic potential across preclinical and clinical studies. The authors synthesized data from preclinical models, then integrated findings from human clinical trials of esketamine and observational studies in recreational users. Animal studies have found that repeated or high-dose subanesthetic ketamine administration results in consistent excitotoxic neuronal damage and lasting cognitive deficits, especially in perinatal animals.

Aim: To systematically review neurocognitive outcomes associated with postoperative paediatric cerebellar mutism syndrome (pCMS), comparing children with and without pCMS after posterior fossa tumour surgery, and in relation to moderating demographic and clinical risk factors.
Method: PsycInfo, Medline, and Embase databases were systematically searched up to December 2024. Studies of children aged 2 to 18 years with pCMS who had undergone standardized neurocognitive assessment were included.
