Article Abstract
Background: Increasing evidence shows that HCY plays an important role in stress-induced cognitive dysfunction, and HCY significantly promotes the decline of cognitive function. Stress has been reported to cause elevated HCY in the hippocampus of mice. Cognitive flexibility refers to the ability of individuals to quickly adjust their neurobehavioral strategies to different situations or to solve different tasks.
Aims: This study aims to explore the role of HCY in the impairment of cognitive flexibility induced by stress and its possible regulatory mechanism.
Methods And Results: First, we examined changes in the protein and mRNA levels of the cognitive flexibility effector molecule, PIN1, during stress in mice. The results show that stress can cause a decline in cognitive flexibility in mice and lead to an increase in PIN1. Moreover, through the use of in vitro experiments, we found that HCY could induce an increase in PIN1 expression in neurons. Further in vivo experiments were used to investigate the effect of VitB on HCY and PIN1 and evaluated the therapeutic effect of VitB on stress-induced impairment of cognitive flexibility. The results show that VitB decreased the levels of HCY in plasma and the hippocampus, alleviated the stress-induced impairment of cognitive flexibility, and reduced the expression of PIN1.
Conclusions: These results suggest that the impairment of cognitive flexibility induced by stress can be inhibited by regulating the content of HCY. Collectively, our findings highlight therapeutic strategies aimed at improving HCY treatment for impairments in cognitive flexibility.

Moral Judgment Under Induced Anxiety: Threat-of-Shock Reduces Sensitivity to Immoral Acts and Alters Neural Processing.

This study investigates how anxiety influences moral judgment processes using event-related potential (ERP) techniques. Participants were instructed to rate their feelings towards other's moral and immoral acts while neural responses were recorded under safe and threat-of-shock (TOS) conditions. Participants reported significantly higher anxiety levels in the TOS context, accompanied by increased non-specific skin conductance responses (NSSCR), indicating heightened autonomic nervous system activity.

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.

Rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) has historically been associated with anecdotal 'creative insights', possibly due to the fantastical and ostensibly illuminating nature of its associated phenomena (dreams). REMS, characterised by rapid eye movements, muscle atonia, and high-energy neuronal activity, has been linked to memory consolidation and information processing, particularly regarding the formation of novel associations or reintegration of consolidated memories into new cognitive networks. However, studies in these domains have largely used methodology which deprived subjects (animal or human) of REMS, rather than enhanced it.

Thyroid hormones (TH), primarily triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), are critical regulators of metabolic rate, mitochondrial function, and cellular repair mechanisms. Emerging evidence suggests that thyroid status may significantly influence aging trajectories and longevity through modulation of key cellular pathways. Objective: This review explores the role of thyroid hormones in aging biology, with a focus on their interaction with longevity-associated signaling pathways and the hallmarks of aging.

Criterion shifting reflects a complex interplay between cognitive strategies and external influences, yet individuals differ markedly in their tendency to adjust decision thresholds. While some readily adapt their criteria in response to task demands, others maintain more rigid thresholds, raising questions about the extent to which external pressures - such as social influence - can drive greater flexibility. Findings from social psychology reveal that social pressure can heavily impact individual decision-making, suggesting that such pressures may also impact individual criterion shifting tendencies.
