Article Synopsis
  • Scientists did six studies with 663 people to understand how motivation and ability affect cognitive effort.
  • They found that the Need for Cognition, which is how much someone likes thinking, helps with effort in certain tasks, but not all.
  • They discovered that if someone feels more mental effort, they are likely to do worse on logical reasoning tests.

Article Synopsis
  • Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD) mimics multiple sclerosis (MS) and aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) in MRI findings, but the prevalence of the central vein sign (CVS) in MOGAD has not been fully explored.
  • A study comparing MRI results from 26 MOGAD patients with those of MS and AQP4+ NMOSD patients found that MOGAD patients had significantly fewer brain lesions and a lower CVS presence (12.1%) than MS patients (44.4%).
  • Results indicated that MOGAD was associated with longer segments of spinal

Background: Antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) are associated with a CNS inflammatory disorder distinct from multiple sclerosis (MS) and aquaporin-4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica (NMO). Knowledge of the clinical spectrum of MOG antibody disease (MOGAD) remains incomplete, particularly in comparison to two related inflammatory demyelinating diseases, MS and NMO.

Objective: Compare demographics, clinical characteristics, estimated disability, laboratory results, and treatment responses of a U.

Aim: To characterize the adaptive behavior profile of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and determine its relationship to neuropsychological functioning and non-neoplastic T2-weighted hyperintense brain lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Method: In this cross-sectional study, we retrospectively reviewed neuropsychological reports from 104 children with NF1 (56 males, 48 females; mean age 10y 4mo; standard deviation [SD] 3y 4mo; range 3y 5mo-17y 6mo), and extracted data from a range of cognitive and behavioral measures, including the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS). Brain MRI was retrospectively reviewed in 42 individuals.
