Metallic nano-optoelectrode arrays can simultaneously serve as nanoelectrodes to increase the electrochemical surface-to-volume ratio for high-performance electrical recording and optical nanoantennas to achieve nanoscale light concentrations for ultrasensitive optical sensing. However, it remains a challenge to integrate nano-optoelectrodes with a miniaturized multifunctional probing system for combined electrical recording and optical biosensing in vivo. Here, we report that flexible nano-optoelectrode-integrated multifunctional fiber probes can have hybrid optical-electrical sensing multimodalities, including optical refractive index sensing, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and electrophysiological recording.

Emotional dysregulation symptoms in youth frequently predispose individuals to increased risk for mood disorders and other mental health difficulties. These symptoms are also known as a behavioral risk marker in predicting pediatric mood disorders. The underlying neural mechanism of emotional dysregulation, however, remains unclear.

The clinical diagnosis and symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) have been closely associated with impairments in reward processing. In particular, various studies have shown blunted neural and behavioral responses to the experience of reward in depression. However, little is known about whether depression affects individuals' valuation of potential rewards during decision-making, independent from reward experience.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the available literature regarding treatment and management of eating disorder patients who fail to change over protracted periods of time.

Method: Literature was reviewed pertaining to approaches to promoting change in treatment-resistant cases and the treatment of chronic eating disordered individuals.

Results: Although there are a number of clinical perspectives on the treatment of chronic eating disorder patients, fundamental studies defining the concept of "chronicity" and standardized treatment approaches do not exist.

This study examined dyadic interrelations between episodic memory and depressive symptom trajectories of change in old and advanced old age. The authors applied dynamic models to 10-year incomplete longitudinal data of initially 1,599 married couples from the study of Asset and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old (M(age) = 75 years at Time 1). The authors found domain-specific lead-lag associations (time lags of 2 years) among wives and husbands as well as between spouses.

The present study was conducted to better describe age trends in cognition among older adults in the longitudinal Health and Retirement Study (HRS) from 1992 to 2004 (N = 17,000). The authors used contemporary latent variable models to organize this information in terms of both cross-sectional and longitudinal inferences about age and cognition. Common factor analysis results yielded evidence for at least 2 common factors, labeled Episodic Memory and Mental Status, largely separable from vocabulary.

This study examines the relationship between perpetrator characteristics, situational characteristics, and type of sexual coercion tactics used to obtain sexual contact (including sexual intercourse) with an unwilling partner. Men who used manipulation or force were compared to each other and to men who engaged in only consensual sex. Participants were college men drawn from the first wave of a 5-year longitudinal study.

This study examined heterosexism that is not specifically targeted at LGB individuals, but may be experienced as antigay harassment, and may contribute to the stigma and stress they experience. LGB participants (N = 175, primarily Euro-American college students), read scenarios of heterosexuals saying or assuming things potentially offensive to gay men or lesbian women. For each scenario, they indicated extent to which they would be offended and less open about their sexuality, and their perceptions of the behaviors as evidence of antigay prejudice.
