- * Researchers categorized fMRI deception tasks based on three key components: intention to lie, social interaction, and motivation, finding only a few tasks included the intention to lie.

Article Synopsis
- Engaging in leisure activities (LA) during early and middle adulthood may help reduce the risk of developing dementia by enhancing cognitive reserve.
- A study assessed the relationship between the diversity and frequency of LA and working memory (WM) efficiency in 93 healthy young adults using a task and a questionnaire about their recent activities.
- While no direct differences were found based on diversity or frequency alone, combining these factors revealed that low engagement in diverse leisure activities correlated with lower WM efficiency, suggesting that both variety and frequency in LA are beneficial for cognitive function in youth.
Procedural learning refers to the acquisition of motor skills and the practice that refines their performance. The striatum participates in this learning through a function regulated by endocannabinoid signaling and other systems. This study relates the efficiency in learning a procedural task with the AATn polymorphism of the CNR1 gene, which encodes for the CB1 receptor.
