MMPI-2 correlates of normal dissociation as measured by the absorption subscale items of the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) were examined in patients with diagnoses in the dissociative spectrum (n = 119) and not in the dissociative spectrum (n = 97). All patients completed the MMPI-2 and DES and were assigned to subgroups based on a cut-off score of 30 on normal dissociation. Results indicated that normal dissociation was unusually prominent among patients with mental disorders. The MMPI profiles of those with high imbalances of normal dissociation were skewed in the direction of more pathology across a broad range of mental symptoms. This was true for both dissociative and nondissociative patients. These findings provide preliminary evidence that high imbalances in normal dissociation may be related to psychopathology of a general nature.

Dissociation of circadian rhythms in adolescent rats affects object recognition and spatial recognition memories.

The T22 protocol is an animal model of forced internal desynchronization, in which rats are exposed to an 11:11 light-dark (LD) cycle. This non-invasive protocol induces the dissociation of circadian rhythms in adult rats, making it possible to study the effects of circadian disruption on physiological and behavioral processes such as learning, memory, and emotional responses. However, the effects of circadian dissociation during other developmental stages, such as adolescence, remain unexplored.

Article Synopsis
- Hypomanic personality traits (HPT) are linked to higher risk for psychiatric disorders like bipolar disorder and are associated with aggressive behaviors, yet the underlying neuropsychological mechanisms are not fully understood.
- The study used psychometric network analysis to identify key factors (Behavioral Inhibition System and mood volatility) that connect HPT to aggression, finding that mood volatility positively correlates with aggression, with BIS acting as a mediator.
- Further imaging studies revealed distinct functions of the dorsal and ventral sensorimotor cortices in processing rewards, and resting-state imaging confirmed these regions' connections to different brain networks, highlighting the importance of these circuits in mediating the relationship between mood volatility, aggression, and BIS.

Article Synopsis
- Lipid droplets (LDs) are crucial organelles for lipid storage and metabolism in cells, and imaging them can reveal their biological roles.
- Researchers developed LD-targeted carbon dots (LD-CDs) using a Schiff base reaction, which exhibit strong sensitivity to changes in solvent polarity due to their unique charge transfer characteristics.
- These LD-CDs not only specifically illuminate LDs and distinguish cancer cells from normal ones but also track dynamic cellular processes like lipophagy and lipid metabolism in living cells and zebrafish.
A stereochemical model and origins of selectivity for the rhodium-catalyzed hydroselenation of styrene.

A deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying transition metal-catalyzed transformation is crucial for developing innovative strategies to synthesize chiral organoselenium compounds. In this study, we developed and investigated a three-layer chirality relay model for the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroselenation of alkenes through density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In the back layer of this model, the four bulky substituents on the phosphorus atom of the bidentate chiral MeO-BIPHEP ligand were positioned on axial and equatorial bonds, thereby influencing the configuration of the middle layer.

Addressing the challenges of the efficiency and stability of red perovskite nanocrystals is imperative for the successful deployment of these materials in displays and lighting applications. the structural dynamic changes of red perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are explored using a flow chemistry system to solve the above hurdles. First, the ultrabright red-emitting PQDs of CsPb(Br,I) are achieved by adjusting ligand distribution (oleic acid and oleyamine) in combination with different flow rates and equivalence ratios.
