The effects of changes in depression-relevant cognition were examined in relation to subsequent change in depressive symptoms for outpatients with major depressive disorder randomly assigned to cognitive therapy (CT; n = 32) versus those assigned to pharmacotherapy only (NoCT; n = 32). Depression severity scores were obtained at the beginning, middle, and end of the 12-week treatment period, as were scores on 4 measures of cognition: Attributional Styles Questionnaire (ASQ), Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (ATQ), Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (DAS), and the Hopelessness Scale (HS). Change from pretreatment to midtreatment on the ASQ, DAS, and HS predicted change in depression from midtreatment to posttreatment in the CT group, but not in the NoCT group. It is concluded that cognitive phenomena play mediational roles in cognitive therapy. However, data do not support their status as sufficient mediators.

Development of handedness and other lateralized functions during infancy and early childhood.

Using a historical or "development from" approach to study the development of hand-use preferences in infants and children, we show how various sensorimotor experiential events shape the cascade from initial to subsequent hand-use preferences. That cascade represents, creates, and shapes the lateralized asymmetry of neural circuits in the cerebral hemispheres. The control of the preferred hand requires neural circuits in the contralateral hemisphere that are capable of processing the organization of finely timed, sequentially organized movements and detecting haptic information derived from high-frequency transitions in the stimulus.

Background: The well-being of nursing students is strongly affected by their mental health.
Purpose: The aim was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a peer-led support group intervention based on autogenic training (soRELAX) on the well-being and mental health of nursing students.
Methods: A pilot mixed convergent design was used with a single group and three assessments: baseline, at 7 weeks, and at 12 weeks.

In Japan, the ageing population is progressing rapidly, leading to an increase in the number of elderly cancer patients. These patients often have multiple chronic diseases, and cognitive decline can impact their physical symptoms, decision-making abilities, adherence to treatment, and management of adverse events. As dementia progresses, they require support in their daily lives.

Rural and remote populations have a high burden of depression and poorer access to mental healthcare services than their urban counterparts. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of psychological and pharmacological treatments on reducing depression specifically in rural and remote residents. Cochrane Library, Medline, PsycInfo, Embase and Scopus, and two clinical trial registries were searched.

Objective: Language impairments may mask non-language cognitive deficits in post-stroke aphasia (PSA) patients. Moreover, the underlying neural mechanisms of both language and non-language cognitive impairment remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the activities and functional abnormalities of local and remote brain regions and their relationship with cognitive function in PSA patients, to provide more effective tips in future clinical therapy.
