Article Abstract
This article assesses the cool-hot executive function (EF) framework during childhood. First, conceptual analyses suggest that cool EF (cEF) is generally distinguished from hot EF (hEF). Second, both EFs can be loaded into different factors using confirmatory factor analyses. Third, the cognitive complexity of EF is similar across cEF tasks, and the cognitive complexity of cEF is similar to hEF tasks. Finally, neuroimaging analysis suggests that children activate the lateral prefrontal regions during all EF tasks. Taken together, we propose that the cool-hot framework is a useful, though not definitive way of characterizing differences in EF.

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.

Background: Obesity and hypertension are widespread health issues associated with changes in brain structure and cognitive function, especially in individuals who lead sedentary lifestyles. This research examines the connections between obesity, high blood pressure, brain structure, and cognitive abilities in people who lead a sedentary lifestyle.
Materials And Methods: The study involved 90 individuals aged between 18 and 35 years, who were categorized into three groups: control (n = 30), obese (n = 30), and hypertensive (n = 30).
