The fields of Educational Neuroscience and Mind, Brain, and Education explore how neuroscience and psychology research can be applied to education practice. Prior work in these fields helped to distill and convey various learning strategies to educators, but bidirectional communication between researchers and educators is still very limited. Given the current challenges facing students and educators, such as the student mental health crisis [[1-4] and educator burnout [5-7], there is a great need for more inclusive research translation efforts.

Fish hook open-globe injuries (OGIs) are challenging to repair surgically because of the backward-projecting barb near the hook's point that prevents withdrawal of the hook.

We report 2 cases of zone I OGIs with retained fish hooks successfully repaired using the back-out technique.

Background/aims: In a linguistically diverse country such as India, challenges remain with regard to diagnosis of early cognitive decline among the elderly, with no prior attempts made to simultaneously validate a comprehensive battery of tests across domains in multiple languages. This study aimed to determine the utility of the Indian Council of Medical Research-Neurocognitive Tool Box (ICMR-NCTB) in the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and its vascular subtype (VaMCI) in 5 Indian languages.

Methods: Literate subjects from 5 centers across the country were recruited using a uniform process, and all subjects were classified based on clinical evaluations and a gold standard test protocol into normal cognition, MCI, and VaMCI.
