Introduction: This pilot study was designed to test the hypothesis that quantitative electroencephalographic (qEEG) measurements reflect physiological adaptations for brain energy reallocation. The study focused on a team of three well-matched male rowers participating in a 30-day, 2,650-mile continuous transatlantic rowing competition, examining the effects of extreme, prolonged stress on brain function and metabolic adaptations.
Methods: Measurements at the start and finish lines included body weight, height, waist circumference, body fat, and a panel of hormones and biochemical markers.
Aims And Method: We explored the prevalence of autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in first-episode psychosis. Through service evaluation involving 509 individuals, detailed analyses were conducted on neurodevelopmental traits and patterns of service utilisation.
Results: Prevalence of neurodivergence in first-episode psychosis was 37.

Article Synopsis
- Older athletes, like the 76-year-old runner who broke a marathon record, often run slower as they age, mainly because their body uses oxygen less effectively.
- Even though this runner still competes at a high level, his ability to take in oxygen (V̇Omax) dropped by about 15% over a 6-year period.
- This study helps us understand how aging affects athletic performance and shows that even elite athletes can experience changes as they get older.
