Article Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive dysfunction and working memory impairment, with early hippocampal damage being a prominent feature. Transcranial magneto-acoustic stimulation (TMAS) has been shown to target specific brain regions for neuroregulation. This study investigated the effects of TMAS on cognitive function, working memory, and hippocampal CA3 neural rhythms in AD rats by specifically stimulating the hippocampal region. : The novel object recognition test and T-maze test were employed to assess behavioral performance, while time-frequency analyses were conducted to evaluate memory-related activity, neural synchronization, and cross-frequency phase-amplitude coupling. TMAS significantly improved cognitive and working memory deficits in AD rats, enhancing long-term memory performance. Additionally, the abnormal energy levels observed in the θ and γ rhythm power spectra of the CA3 region were markedly restored, suggesting the recovery of normal neural function. This improvement was accompanied by a partial resurgence of neural activity, indicating enhanced inter-neuronal communication. Furthermore, the previously damaged coupling between the θ-fast γ and θ-slow γ rhythms was successfully improved, resulting in a notable enhancement of synchronized activity. These findings suggest that TMAS effectively alleviates cognitive and working memory impairments in AD rats and may provide experimental support for developing new treatments for AD.

Impacts of Environmental Distractions and Interruptions on Unsupervised Digital Cognitive Assessments in Older Adults: Cognitive Ecological Momentary Assessment Study.

Background: Unsupervised cognitive assessments are becoming commonly used in studies of aging and neurodegenerative diseases. As assessments are completed in everyday environments and without a proctor, there are concerns about how common distractions may impact performance and whether these distractions may differentially impact those experiencing the earliest symptoms of dementia.
Objective: We examined the impact of self-reported interruptions, testing location, and social context during testing on remote cognitive assessments in older adults.
Protective Role of Apelin in a Mouse Model of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome.

Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) is a serious condition involving physical weakness, depression, and cognitive impairment that develop during or after an intensive care unit (ICU) stay, often resulting in long-term declines in quality of life. Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and severe COVID-19 are at particularly high risk, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying PICS remain poorly understood. Here, we identify impaired Apelin-APJ signaling as a potential contributor to PICS pathogenesis via disruption of inter-organ homeostasis.

This study examined the role of domain-specific working memory and emotion regulation in the relation between mathematics anxiety and mathematics performance among 264 upper elementary students (Grades 3-5). Participants completed measures of mathematics testing and learning anxiety, verbal and numerical working memory, cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, general anxiety, mathematics self-efficacy, and calculation. Results showed that verbal working memory, but not numerical working memory, mediated the relation between mathematics testing anxiety and calculation.

Visual search relies on the ability to use information about the target in working memory to guide attention and make target-match decisions. The 'attentional' or 'target' template is thought to be encoded within an inferior frontal junction (IFJ)-visual attentional network. While this template typically contains veridical target features, behavioral studies have shown that target-associated information, such as statistically co-occurring object pairs, can also guide attention.

Recent studies showed that the presence of the experimenter hinders executive functions. Belletier and Camos (2018) extended these findings to working memory, reporting a detrimental effect of the experimenter presence only when participants performed an aloud concurrent articulation during maintenance. Under such a condition, participants likely relied on an attentional maintenance mechanism rather that an articulatory mechanism, supporting the account of a capture of attention by the social presence.
