Identifying neural markers of clinical symptom fluctuations is prerequisite to developing more precise brain-targeted treatments in psychiatry. We have recently shown that working memory (WM) in healthy adults is dependent on the rise and fall interplay between alpha/beta and gamma bursts within frontoparietal regions, and that deviations in these patterns lead to WM performance errors. However, it is not known whether such bursting deviations underlie clinically relevant WM-related symptoms or clinical status in individuals with WM deficits.

Methods: Data from adult cancer survivors, ages 20-64, in the 2007-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey was used to conduct latent class analyses to identify food behavior subgroups, based on five indicator variables. Associations between latent food behavior class membership and key sociodemographic and cancer-related characteristics were examined using adjusted multinomial regression models.

Background: Past research suggests that subjective cognitive decline serves as an early and potentially important indicator that individuals may be at risk for future cognitive decline or neurodegenerative conditions. However, there is a dearth of studies on factors influencing the experience of subjective cognitive decline in Black Americans, especially in Black American men.
Objective: The current study explored correlates of subjective cognitive decline in Black American men.
There is increased awareness among basic and clinical scientists that psychological and social stress can have detrimental effects on physical, cognitive, and mental health. Data have been published indicating that social, economic, psychological, and physical environmental stress can influence behavior that has biological and physiological consequences-yet there are major gaps in understanding the physiological and cellular processes that drive increased morbidity and mortality. The potential role of mitochondria has been highlighted in psychosomatic medicine, as their functionality in various biological and physiological processes has earned recognition.

Participants: Fifty-three Black employees at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU).
Methods: Logistic regression analyses were used to determine associations.
