AI Article Synopsis

  • The paper discusses the links between emotions, motivation, and cognition, highlighting their importance in understanding mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
  • It reviews evidence showing how cognitive biases and deficits impact emotional and motivational states, and how these relate to various brain mechanisms.
  • Finally, it explores the concept of neuroplasticity and its role in facilitating changes in cognitive, emotional, and motivational processes through treatment interventions.

Article Abstract

Emotion-cognition and motivation-cognition relationships and related brain mechanisms are receiving increasing attention in the clinical research literature as a means of understanding diverse types of psychopathology and improving biological and psychological treatments. This paper reviews and integrates some of the growing evidence for cognitive biases and deficits in depression and anxiety, how these disruptions interact with emotional and motivational processes, and what brain mechanisms appear to be involved. This integration sets the stage for understanding the role of neuroplasticity in implementing change in cognitive, emotional, and motivational processes in psychopathology as a function of intervention.

Background: Gliomas, particularly glioblastoma (GBM), are the most common and aggressive primary brain tumors in adults, characterized by high malignancy and frequent recurrence. Despite standard treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, the prognosis for GBM remains poor, with a median survival of less than 15 months and a five-year survival rate below 10%. Tumor heterogeneity and resistance to treatment create significant challenges in controlling glioma progression.

Rationale: The positive reinforcing effects of alcohol (ethanol) drive repetitive use and contribute to alcohol use disorder (AUD). Ethanol alters the expression of glutamate AMPA receptor (AMPAR) subunits in reward-related brain regions, but the extent to which this effect regulates ethanol's reinforcing properties is unclear.

Objective: This study investigates whether ethanol self-administration changes AMPAR subunit expression and synaptic activity in the nucleus accumbens core (AcbC) to regulate ethanol's reinforcing effects in male C57BL/6 J mice.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multifactorial disease caused by irreversible progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons (DANs). Recent studies have reported the successful conversion of astrocytes into DANs by repressing polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 (PTBP1), which led to the rescue of motor symptoms in a chemically-induced mouse model of PD. However, follow-up studies have questioned the validity of this astrocyte-to-DAN conversion model.

A major challenge in the stem cell biology field is the ability to produce fully functional cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that are a valuable resource for cell therapy, drug screening, and disease modelling. Here, we developed a novel inducible CRISPR-mediated activation strategy (iCRISPRa) to drive the expression of multiple endogenous transcription factors (TFs) important for in vitro cell fate and differentiation of iPSCs to haematopoietic progenitor cells. This work has identified a key role for IGFBP2 in developing haematopoietic progenitors.

Coupling of state space modules and attention mechanisms: An input-aware multi-contrast MRI synthesis method.

Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Biomaterials and Devices, School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing, China.

Background: Medical imaging plays a pivotal role in the real-time monitoring of patients during the diagnostic and therapeutic processes. However, in clinical scenarios, the acquisition of multi-modal imaging protocols is often impeded by a number of factors, including time and economic costs, the cooperation willingness of patients, imaging quality, and even safety concerns.

Purpose: We proposed a learning-based medical image synthesis method to simplify the acquisition of multi-contrast MRI.
