Article Synopsis
- Neurodegenerative diseases show overlapping deficits in interoception, emotions, and social cognition, linked to a common neurobiological network called the allostatic-interoceptive network (AIN), although this hasn't been fully explored previously.
- A comprehensive meta-analysis found 170 relevant studies involving 7,032 participants, highlighting key brain areas (like the insula and amygdala) correlated with these deficits across several neurodegenerative conditions including bvFTD, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson’s disease.
- Overall, neurodegeneration disrupts the AIN, with greater effects seen in bvFTD, suggesting a need for more integrated research approaches in understanding these cognitive impairments.
While some individuals tend to follow norms, others, in the face of tempting but forbidden options, tend to commit rule-breaking when this action is beneficial for themselves. Previous studies have neglected such interindividual differences in rule-breaking. The present study fills this gap by investigating cognitive characteristics of individuals who commit spontaneous deliberative rule-breaking (rule-breakers) versus rule-followers.

Little is known about within-lesion heterogeneity and its relevance for stroke outcome. Patients with subcortical stroke and recruited through the prospective DEDEMAS study (NCT01334749) were examined at baseline ( = 45), six months ( = 45), and three years ( = 28) post-stroke.
