Article Synopsis
- Measuring deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) on the neutron is essential for understanding the nucleon's structure through generalized parton distributions (GPDs).
- Neutron targets help complement data obtained from polarized protons, particularly in determining the poorly understood GPD E, which is crucial for analyzing quark contributions to nucleon spin.
- The experiment utilized a longitudinally polarized electron beam at Jefferson Lab and the CLAS12 detector to measure DVCS on the neutron for the first time, providing new insights into quark-flavor separation of relevant Compton form factors.
Objective: Identifying persons with HIV (PWH) at increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is complicated because memory deficits are common in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) and a defining feature of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI; a precursor to AD). Recognition memory deficits may be useful in differentiating these etiologies. Therefore, neuroimaging correlates of different memory deficits (i.

Working in new and exceptionally demanding circumstances - with thousands of people injured in an extensive and direct terror attack, with relatives taken hostages and entire communities evacuated from their homes - the practitioner looked for an effective treatment strategy to alleviate symptoms of stress response. He found it in the interface between TCM and the function of the autonomic nervous system.

- Veterans with psychiatric conditions like PTSD have a double the risk of developing dementia compared to those without, highlighting the link between mental health and cognitive decline.
- A study of 179 cognitively unimpaired Veterans found that about 21% exhibited subtle cognitive difficulties (Obj-SCD), with higher rates of PTSD reported among those individuals.
- The research suggests that PTSD is associated with cognitive efficiency issues in older Veterans, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions and further exploration of these cognitive challenges.
APOE×BDNF Interaction and Poorer Cognitive Outcomes Among Veterans With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: An Exploratory Study.
J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci
October 2024
Objective: The authors examined the interaction between apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met alleles on neuropsychological functioning among veterans with histories of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Methods: Participants were 78 veterans with mTBI (85% males; mean±SD age=32.95±7.
