Article Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most widespread neurodegenerative disorder. Recently, it was found that mucus extract from has beneficial effects on memory and cognitive processes in a rat scopolamine model of AD. The present study elucidated the mechanisms of action of standardized mucus snail extract (SE) enriched with a fraction above 20 kDa on Alzheimer-type dementia in rats. Using proteomic analysis on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) on rat cortex extracts, we compared protein expression in both groups: the first group was treated intraperitoneally with scopolamine (Sco, 2 mg/kg, 11 days) and the second (Sco + SE) group was treated intraperitoneally with Sco (Sco, 2 mg/kg) and protected by SE (0.5 mL/100 g bw) applied daily orally for 11 days. Brain cortex was separated and the expressions of various proteins related to memory and cognitive functions were identified. We found that the expression of Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L1, Calbindin, Vacuolar ATP synthase catalytic subunit A, Tropomyosin beta chain, 14-3-3 zeta/delta, Kinesin-1 heavy chain, and Stathmin-4 significantly differs in SE-protected rats as compared to dement animals treated only by Sco, and these brain proteins might be potential therapeutic targets for Alzheimer's-type dementia treatment.

BOLD Long-Range Temporal Correlations Reflect Changes in Language and Depression Across Intensive Aphasia Therapy.

Background: Intensive language-action therapy treats language deficits and depressive symptoms in chronic poststroke aphasia, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain underexplored. Long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) in blood oxygenation level-dependent signals indicate persistence in brain activity patterns and may relate to learning and levels of depression. This observational study investigates blood oxygenation level-dependent LRTC changes alongside therapy-induced language and mood improvements in perisylvian and domain-general brain areas.

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.

Background: Cognitive impairment and psychological complaints are among the most common consequences for patients suffering from Post-Covid-19 condition (PCC). As there are limited training options available, this study examined a longitudinal tablet-based training program addressing cognitive and psychological symptoms.
Methods: Forty individuals aged between 36 and 71 years ( = 49.

Family socioeconomic status is broadly acknowledged to be associated with child development and wellbeing. However, the extent of this association across various dimensions of child development remains a topic of ongoing debate. This study aims to investigate the relationship between parental education and child cognitive and socioemotional skills, as well as the mediating role of children's leisure time activities, including screen time and shared book reading.

Several studies implicate circadian rhythm disturbances in Alzheimer's disease. However, very little is known about how circadian rhythms are associated with Alzheimer's pathological biomarkers in older adults at early stages of the disease, and how these relationships map onto cognition. This cross-sectional study used 24-h accelerometry data to investigate the relationships between circadian rhythms, amyloid-β (Aβ), tau, and cognition in 68 older adults with objective early cognitive impairment.
