Infecting much of the world's population, the herpesviridae virus cytomegalovirus has been associated with lower cognitive function in some but not all studies. In this study, we further investigate associations between cytomegalovirus and cognitive function in a community-based sample of adults aged 40 to 70 years (M = 55.3; SD = 8.1) from the United Kingdom. Adjusted multiple-regression modeling showed no significant associations between cytomegalovirus and performance on nine cognitive tasks. Further, in adjusted interaction models, age, sex, educational attainment, and income did not moderate associations between cytomegalovirus and cognitive function. In this community-based adult sample, cytomegalovirus was not associated with cognitive function.

Objectives: Randomized clinical trials informing clinical practice (e.g., like large, pragmatic, and late-phase trials) should ideally mostly use harmonized outcomes that are important to patients, family members, clinicians, and researchers.

Excitatory-inhibitory homeostasis and bifurcation control in the Wilson-Cowan model of cortical dynamics.

PLoS Comput Biol

January 2025

Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior, Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Although the primary function of excitatory-inhibitory (E-I) homeostasis is the maintenance of mean firing rates, the conjugation of multiple homeostatic mechanisms is thought to be pivotal to ensuring edge-of-bifurcation dynamics in cortical circuits. However, computational studies on E-I homeostasis have focused solely on the plasticity of inhibition, neglecting the impact of different modes of E-I homeostasis on cortical dynamics. Therefore, we investigate how the diverse mechanisms of E-I homeostasis employed by cortical networks shape oscillations and edge-of-bifurcation dynamics.

Objective: Older adults have an increased risk of developing persistent cognitive complaints after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Yet, studies exploring which factors protect older adults with mTBI from developing such complaints are rare. It has been suggested that one such factor may be cognitive reserve (CR), but it is unknown how CR influences cognition in this patient category.

Background: Adolescents living with HIV face unique challenges, including mental health issues such as depression and cognitive dysfunction. Despite this significant burden, there is a lack of evidence focusing on this population. This study therefore aims to examine the moderating effects of biopsychosocial factors on the bi-directional relationship between HIV-related depression and cognitive function among adolescents living with HIV in the Mbeya region, Tanzania.

Aberrant Cortical Morphological Networks in First-Episode Schizophrenia.

Institute for Brain Research and Rehabilitation, South China Normal University, Guangzhou 510631, China.

Background And Hypothesis: Population-based morphological covariance networks are widely reported to be altered in schizophrenia. Individualized morphological brain network approaches have emerged recently. We hypothesize that individualized morphological brain networks are disrupted in schizophrenia.
