Introduction: There are difficulties in relationships that are attributed to a commitment in facial emotions recognition skills in subjects with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The studies carried out did not always take into account the nature of the stimulus selected in pediatrics, which is important because the familiarity in faces, in terms of their physiognomic characteristics, makes it easier the recognition of the expressions.
Aim: To identify the profile of recognition of emotions in pediatric subjects with ADHD, using as a stimulus photos of boys and girls.
Subjects And Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study of cases and controls. We analyzed the results obtained from 54 participants between 7 and 13 years divided into two groups: 26 in control group and 28 in ADHD group. They conducted an assessment with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V), Conners' Continuous Performance Test II (CPT-II), and Child Affective Facial Expression set (CAFE).
Results: The ADHD group showed a lower performance in recognition of emotions in general, with greater difficulty in the recognition of anger, surprise and neutral expression in particular. No relationship was found between the recognition of emotions and age, sex, total intelligence quotient or CPT-II care variables.
Conclusions: The subjects with ADHD present deficits in the recognition of emotions, especially in the recognition of anger, surprise and neutral expression, which could explain the difficulties in the interaction and that should be treated within the therapeutic framework.

Background: Brain iron dyshomeostasis has been observed in behavioral deficits relevant to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), but it remains unclear whether it is a primary cause or an epiphenomenon of disease.
Method: We assessed the effects of brain iron dyshomeostasis on spatial cognition and cognitive flexibility using the IntelliCage system, recognition memory using novel object recognition tasks and anxiety-like behavior using the open field and elevated plus maze tests. We investigated these phenotypes in a HfexTfr2 mouse model of brain iron dyshomeostasis alone (Iron) or combined with an APP/PS1 model of Alzheimer's Aβ amyloidosis (Aβ+Iron), compared with APP/PS1 mice with Aβ amyloidosis alone (Aβ) or wildtype controls.

Background: Sorbs2 is a cytoskeletal adaptor protein that is expressed in hippocampal neurons, but its mechanistic role in these cells is not yet fully understood.
Method: We created two groups of mice for our study: whole-body Sorbs2-Knockout (KO) mice and Sorbs2-Flox mice, which had neuronal knockout via AAV-PHP.eB-hSyn1-Cre virus injection.

Background: In Alzheimer's disease (AD) the fact that neuropsychiatric symptoms can predate the onset of cognitive symptoms suggests that greater focus on the non-cognitive behavioral changes in earlier life could be an opportunity to investigate 'latent' mild behavioral impairment (MBI) as a possible diagnostic strategy for preclinical AD.
Method: We used 1- and 6-month-old 3xTg-AD male mice and age-matched wild-type animals (CEUA-ICB/USP: 127/2015). Two batteries of behavioral tests were performed: (1) open field test (OFT), novel object recognition test (NORT), and rotarod test; (2) elevated zero maze test (EZMT), forced swim test (FST), and sucrose preference test (SPT).

Background: The salience network (SN) functions as a dynamic switch between the default mode network (DMN) and the frontoparietal network (FPN), aligning with salience and cognitive demand. Dysfunctions in SN activity within the cognitive and affective domains are linked to a wide range of deficits and maladaptive behavioral patterns in various clinical disorders. Emotion recognition is pivotal in social interactions and can be affected in neurodegenerative disorders.
