Article Synopsis
- Alcohol craving is a key symptom of substance dependence, influenced by emotions, thoughts, and bodily sensations, but the exact mechanisms behind it are not well understood.
- A study with 160 inmates used questionnaires to explore the connections between interoceptive sensibility, alexithymia, emotional dysregulation, and alcohol craving.
- Results showed that alexithymia and emotional dysregulation play significant roles in linking interoceptive sensibility to alcohol craving, although emotional dysregulation alone did not show a significant indirect effect.
Background: Abiraterone acetate (ABI) and Enzalutamide (ENZA) are second-generation hormone drugs that show breakthrough activity in post-chemotherapy, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The leading oncological and urological guidelines indicate both drugs with the same strong recommendation. There is a lack of randomized trials which compare the efficacy of ABI and ENZA.

The impact of diets that are high in added sugars and saturated fat on cognitive functioning, especially on memory, was at the center of our interest. Participants in the study were 204 healthy adults (aged 20-55) who performed a multitasking cognitive test and completed dietary and psychological questionnaires.

The present study investigates alterations in resting-state EEG source connectivity and rich-club organization in children with inattentive (ADHD) and combined (ADHD) ADHD compared with typically developing children (TD) under the eyes-closed condition. EEG source analysis was performed by eLORETA in different frequency bands.

In this study, we investigated group differences in dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) between 113 children with inattentive (46 ADHD) and combined (67 ADHD) ADHD and 76 typically developing (TD) children using resting-state functional MRI data. For dynamic connectivity analysis, the data were first decomposed into 100 independent components, among which 88 were classified into eight well-known resting-state networks (RSNs).
