Alterations in the temporal evolution of brain states in the process of cognitive impairment aggravation due to subcortical ischemic vascular disease (SIVD) is not understood. The dynamic functional connectivity was investigated to identify the abnormal temporal properties of brain states associated with cognitive impairment caused by SIVD. Eighteen patients with subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment with no dementia (SIVCIND), 19 dementia patients (SIVaD) and 26 normal controls were enrolled. We found that the occupancy rate and mean lifetime of brain states were associated with cognitive performance. SIVCIND had a higher occupancy rate and longer mean lifetime in weakly connected states than normal controls. SIVaD had similar but more extensive changes in the temporal properties of brain states. In addition, switching from weakly connected states to more strongly connected states was more difficult in SIVCIND and SIVaD patients than in normal controls, especially in SIVaD patients. The results revealed that not only the transition to but also maintenance in strongly connected states became increasingly difficult when SIVD-related cognitive impairment progressed into a more severe stage.

Given the influence of cognitive abilities on life outcomes, there is inherent value in identifying genes involved in controlling learning and memory. Further, cognitive dysfunction is a core feature of many neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, we use a combinatory in silico approach to identify human gene targets that will have an especially high likelihood of individually and directly impacting cognition.

Objective: Cognitive dysfunction is a significant issue in old age and can cause many problems in older adults, especially those with diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the association between oral health status and DMFT index with cognitive dysfunction in community-dwelling older adults with T2D (type 2 diabetes).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that included 245 older people aged 60 years and older with T2D, visiting healthcare centers in north of Iran, using the cluster sampling method.
Delirium is an acute change in attention and awareness that fluctuates and is accompanied by cognitive impairment. Patients with delirium may have disorders of perception such as hallucinations and delusions. The condition is triggered by acute illness or injury, and the risk is highest in sick older patients and patients in intensive care.

Background: X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder that results in cognitive impairment and developmental delays. Mutations in the KDM5C gene have been identified as a causative factor in XLID. This study aimed to identify novel variants associated with XLID and to investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of XLID patients with mutations in the KDM5C gene.
