Article Synopsis
- rTMS has been effective in treating depression and cognitive impairment in older adults with major neurocognitive disorder (NCD), yet predictors for treatment response via imaging are still unclear.
- The study involved 55 NCD patients, comparing effects of real versus sham rTMS on depression and cognition, specifically targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) for treatment.
- Findings indicate that factors like advanced age and higher initial cognition may aid in depression remission, with increased cortical thickness and gyrification in the DLPFC emerging as key predictors for successful treatment outcomes.
Background: Sarcopenia is a major health problem in older adults. Exercise and nutrient supplementation have been shown to be effective interventions but there are limited studies to investigate their effects on the management of sarcopenia and its possible underlying mechanisms. Here, we studied T cell gene expression responses to interventions in sarcopenia.

- Recent research shows a strong link between ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), suggesting shared genetic factors may contribute to their high occurrence together.
- The study included 298 boys with ADHD, 134 with ASD, and 109 with both, along with control groups of typically developing boys.
- Findings indicated that three specific genetic markers (SNPs) showed significant associations with both disorders, hinting at potential common genetic influences that may explain their comorbidity.
