Within the context of a post-acute rehabilitation setting, association and agreement between results from the Neurobehavioural Cognitive Status Examination (NCSE) and from the neuropsychological (NP) evaluation are examined. All participants (n = 48) had sustained a severe traumatic brain injury and NCSE testing preceded NP testing by an average of 1 month. A significant relationship and fair classification agreement (i.e. presence or absence of cognitive impairment) was found between the overall results from NCSE and NP evaluation. Significant relationships were also observed between most NCSE subtests and paired NP tests thought to be assessing the same cognitive domains. However, the classification agreement (i.e. the presence or absence of deficient performance) between most NCSE subtests and paired NP tests was poor. The findings are discussed from the standpoint of individual treatment planning.

Evaluating the factor structure of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) in adults with congenital heart disease.

: While it is generally assumed that common neurobehavioral assessments, such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV), function similarly in clinical and non-clinical populations, this has not been validated in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). In this study, we examined the latent factor structure of the WAIS-IV in adults with d-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) who participated in the Boston Circulatory Arrest Study. : The WAIS-IV was administered as part of a larger assessment battery.

Autosomal-dominant variants in the CPT1C gene have been associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia type 73 (SPG73), which typically presents with slowly progressive lower limb weakness and spasticity and is therefore considered a pure form of hereditary spastic paraplegia. However, we report two unrelated males with novel CPT1C variants (NM_001199753.2: patient 1: c.

Primary Objectives: Annually, millions of Americans sustain mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI), and some may experience neurobehavioral symptoms (NBS), like slow processing speed that persist chronically or longer than 6 months post injury. In turn, cognitive processes like language comprehension may be compromised. This study investigates the relationship between NBS and language comprehension in individuals with mTBI history and low or high NBS.

Aims: This study investigated the protective role of Annexin A1 (ANXA1) in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) by examining its effects on brain vascular endothelium and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity.
Methods: Mice were divided into four groups: wild type (WT), cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), ANXA1 knockout (ANXA1[-/-]), and ANXA1(-/-) with CLP. Neurobehavioral changes were assessed using the Y-maze test, while BBB integrity was evaluated through Evans blue dye (EBD) staining and permeability tests with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran.

Background: Identifying neurobiological targets predictive of the molecular neuropathophysiological signature of human opioid use disorder (OUD) could expedite new treatments. OUD is characterized by dysregulated cognition and goal-directed behavior mediated by the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and next-generation sequencing could provide insights regarding novel targets.
Methods: Here, we used machine learning to evaluate human post-mortem OFC RNA-sequencing datasets from heroin-users and controls to identify transcripts predictive of heroin use.
