AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated cognitive evoked potential P300 in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) who do not have cognitive impairment and compared their responses to those of normal controls.
- PD patients exhibited longer P300 latency and lower peak amplitude compared to controls, suggesting potential issues with cognitive processing related to nonverbal stimuli.
- The findings indicate that P300 recordings could help diagnose early cognitive disturbances in PD patients who do not exhibit dementia symptoms yet.
Article Abstract
Cognitive evoked potential P300 in response to visual verbal and non-verbal stimuli was examined in 40 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) without cognitive impairment and 8 age- and sex matched normal controls. All the patients were subjected to clinical and neuropsychological evaluation. The influence of patient's age, duration, type and severity of the disease, debut's lateralization and anti-parkinsonic therapy efficacy on P300 was evaluated. Compared to controls, PD patients exhibited a significantly prolonged P300 latency and decreased P300 peak amplitude. The topography of PD maximum P300 amplitude indicated a frontal distribution with no between-hemispheres differences. Overall, the P300 changes in PD patients without dementia can be interpreted as a decrease of directed activity level and the partial defect of mental recognition processes and stimuli differentiation related mostly to the nonverbal image-spatial cognitive processes. The results show that P300 recording may be useful for diagnosis of subclinical cognitive disturbances in PD without dementia.

SYNGAP1 is a Ras GTPase-activating protein that plays a crucial role during brain development and in synaptic plasticity. Sporadic heterozygous mutations in SYNGAP1 affect social and emotional behaviour observed in intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although neurophysiological deficits have been extensively studied, the epigenetic landscape of SYNGAP1 mutation-mediated intellectual disability is unexplored.

Introduction: Athletic peak performance is increasingly focused on cognitive and mental factors. In the current study, cognitive performance was measured by neurophysiological responses in elite Junior-A hockey players.
Methods: Neurophysiological brain vital signs were extracted from event-related potentials (ERPs) to evaluate auditory sensation (the N100), basic attention (the P300), and cognitive processing (the N400).

The sense of agency is the subjective feeling of control over one's own actions and the associated outcomes. Here, we asked whether and to what extent the reasons behind our choices (operationalized by value differences, expected utility, and counterfactual option sets) drive our sense of agency. We simultaneously tested these three dimensions during a novel value-based decision-making task while recording explicit (self-reported) and implicit (brain signals) measures of agency.

Background: Korean Red Ginseng and ginsenosides have been studied for their efficacy against various diseases, including those related to aging. However, most aging studies use D-galactose to induce aging, which often does not accurately represent natural aging. This study aimed to verify improvements in auditory, cognitive, and liver function through administering red ginseng to an 18-month-old naturally aging mouse model.

Hepatic lipotoxicity, resulting from excessive lipid accumulation in hepatocytes, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of various metabolic liver diseases. Despite recent progress, the precise mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Employing excessive exposure to palmitate in hepatocytes as our primary experimental model and mice studies, we aimed to uncover the mechanisms behind hepatic lipotoxicity, thereby developing potential treatments.
