We often use inner narration when thinking about past and future events. The present paradigm explicitly addresses the influence of the language used in inner narration on the hippocampus-dependent event construction process. We assessed the language context effect during the inner narration of different event types: past, future, daydream, and self-unrelated fictitious events. The language context was assessed via a fluent bilingual population who used inner narration, either in their first language (L1) or second language (L2). Not all inner narration of events elicited hippocampo-cortical activity. In fact, only the angular gyrus and precuneus-retrosplenial cortex were activated by inner narration across all event types. More precisely, only inner narration of events which entailed the simulation of bodily self-location in space (whether or not they were time-marked: past, future, daydream) depended on the hippocampo-cortical system, while inner narration of events that did not entail bodily self-location (self-unrelated fictitious) did not. The language context of the narration influenced the bilinguals' hippocampo-cortical system by enhancing the co-activation of semantic areas with the hippocampus for inner narration of events in the L2. Overall, this study highlights 2 important characteristics of hippocampo-cortical-dependent inner narration of events: The core episodic hippocampal system is activated for inner narration of events simulating self-location in space (regardless of time-marking), and the inner language used for narration (L1 or L2) mediates hippocampal functional connectivity.

Ovarian tissue biopsy for cryopreservation by vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery: a new approach for a minimal invasive ovarian biopsy.
Fertil Steril
August 2024
Division of Gynaecology and Human Reproduction Physiopathology, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, Bologna, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is a new surgical method that combines vaginal access with laparoscopic tools, resulting in less postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays due to no abdominal incisions.
- Ovarian tissue cryopreservation is a technique to safeguard the reproductive health of young women at risk of premature ovarian insufficiency from cancer treatments, involving the removal and freezing of ovarian tissue for future transplant after cancer remission.
- This study details the use of vNOTES for performing ovarian biopsies for cryopreservation, although the technique has not yet been applied for this purpose in clinical practice.
Crisis as Opportunity, Risk, or Turmoil: Qualitative Study of Youth Narratives About the COVID-19 Pandemic.
J Adolesc Health
October 2023
Department of Psychology, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia.
Purpose: The present study employed a narrative approach in order to explore how young people constructed meanings regarding their sense of self in the context of COVID-19 experiences. Adolescents have been identified as a particularly vulnerable group, as the developmental challenges they face are superimposed and amplified by the accidental crisis caused by the pandemic.
Methods: An in-depth narrative analysis was conducted on written accounts of 13 females aged 17-23 years from Serbia.

Psychiatric Liaison Service, Lausanne University Hospital, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Background: Physicians' narratives are means to approach and comprehend the practice of medicine, and physicians' embedment in their work and the healthcare context.
Objective: This study aimed to explore physicians' professional experiences and to examine how they are affected by factors related to their inner (psychological) and outer (institutional and social) worlds.
Methods: The study was designed as an exploratory qualitative study based on "narrative facilitators" (NF).
Mindfulness-based programmes and 'bigger than self' issues: protocol for a scoping review.
BMJ Open

Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice, School of Human and Behavioural Science, Bangor University, Bangor, UK.
Introduction: Mindfulness-based programmes (MBPs) have an established, growing evidence base as interventions to optimise health, well-being and performance of individual participants. Emerging evidence suggests that MBPs also enhance prosociality, encouraging individuals to contribute to positive social change. This study focuses on the potential of MBPs to facilitate development of participants' inner resources that support prosocial shifts.

Background: Systems science approaches like simulation modeling can offer an opportunity for community voice to shape policies. In the episteme of many communities there are elders, leaders, and researchers who are seen as bearers of historic knowledge and can contextualize and interpret contemporary research using knowledge systems of the community. There is a need for a systematic methodology to collaborate with community Knowledge Bearers and Knowledge Interpreters.
