Social Cognition (SC) impairment is part of the deficit syndrome of schizophrenia. The Observable Social Cognition: A Rating Scale (OSCARS) evaluates the perceived SC through an external reference informant. The aim of this paper is to analyze the psychometric properties of validity and reliability of its cross-cultural adaptation for the Spanish population.

Exposure to School Racial Segregation and Late-Life Cognitive Outcomes.

JAMA Netw Open

January 2025

Department of Health Policy and Management, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, Connecticut.

Importance: Disparities in cognition, including dementia occurrence, persist between non-Hispanic Black (hereinafter, Black) and non-Hispanic White (hereinafter, White) older adults, and are possibly influenced by early educational differences stemming from structural racism. However, the association between school racial segregation and later-life cognition remains underexplored.

Objective: To investigate the association between childhood contextual exposure to school racial segregation and cognitive outcomes in later life.

Background: Stress is a common modifiable risk factor for AD, which increases dementia risk 2-fold. During the stress response, the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis is activated which stimulates the release of stress hormones called glucocorticoids into the blood stream. Studies on early-life stress have shown a glucocorticoid dependent vulnerability towards late-life inflammation.

Background: The ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is the strongest genetic determinant for Alzheimer's disease and cognitive function in nearly all human populations, yet inconsistent effects have been reported in South Asians. The population of India has admixed genetic ancestry with most people falling on a North/South cline and having varying proportions of Ancestral North Indian (ANI) and Ancestral South Indian (ASI) ancestries, and those in east of India fall off the cline due to ancestry from additional ancestral populations. This study examined the ε4 association with cognitive function across 18 states/union territories of India and investigated whether ancestral background modulates ε4 association with cognitive function in 2,590 participants from the Longitudinal Aging Study in India - Diagnostic Assessment of Dementia (LASI-DAD).

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.
