Investigating the Effects of Discrimination Experiences on Everyday Metamemory Accuracy.

Objectives: Lifetime and daily experiences of discrimination contribute to impaired performance on cognitive assessments. However, the underlying mechanism by which discrimination negatively affects cognition is unclear. Recent research investigating stress-induced impairment of metamemory may address the relationship between discrimination experiences and cognitive impairment.

Substance Use Screening in Geriatric Primary Care: Cultural Issues and Alcohol Consumption in the Deep South.

Objectives: To investigate indicators of potentially hazardous alcohol use among older adults living in a region with high substance use stigma.

Methods: Patients at a university-affiliated geriatrics clinic in the Deep South of theUS completed behavioral health screenings including self-reported alcohol use, symptoms of depression or anxiety, and cognitive functioning between 2018 and 2022.

Results: Participants ( = 278) averaged 76.

Tumor location and reduction in functional MRI estimates of language laterality.

Objective: Brain tumors located close to the language cortex may distort functional MRI (fMRI)-based estimates of language dominance. The nature of this distortion, and whether this is an artifact of numerous confounders, remains unknown. The authors hypothesized tumor bias based on laterality estimates independent of confounders and that the effects are the greatest for tumors proximal to Broca's area.

The Lifespan Human Connectome Project in Aging: An overview.

The original Human Connectome Project yielded a rich data set on structural and functional connectivity in a large sample of healthy young adults using improved methods of data acquisition, analysis, and sharing. More recent efforts are extending this approach to include infants, children, older adults, and brain disorders. This paper introduces and describes the Human Connectome Project in Aging (HCP-A), which is currently recruiting 1200 + healthy adults aged 36 to 100+, with a subset of 600 + participants returning for longitudinal assessment.
