Background: In recent years, developments have been made in various research domains, from treatments with (es)ketamine to large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
Aim: To map some of the most promising scientific developments, that may have an impact on clinical practice in psychiatry or are already doing so.
Method: We summarized recent developments in the field of epidemiology, artificial intelligence (AI) and genetics, supported by and illustrated with recent relevant scientific literature.

Sports-related concussions (SRCs) pose significant challenges to college-aged athletes, eliciting both immediate symptoms and subacute cognitive and motor function impairment. While most symptoms and impairments resolve within weeks, athletes with repeat SRCs may experience heightened risk for prolonged recovery trajectories, future musculoskeletal injuries, and long-term neurocognitive deficits. This study aimed to investigate the impact of repeat SRCs on dual task performance and associated neural recruitment using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).

Serum Amyloid-A (SAA) is a well-studied major acute phase protein (APP), that has been shown to be a good marker for the development of post-surgical complications.

While most symptoms and impairments resolve within weeks, athletes with repeat SRCs may experience heightened risk for prolonged recovery trajectories, future musculoskeletal injuries, and long-term neurocognitive deficits. This includes impaired dual task performance and altered neurophysiology that could persist across the lifespan and elicit future pathophysiology and neurodegeneration.
