Despite the high reported prevalence and burden of cognitive dysfunction in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), there is poor understanding of its aetiology, clinical assessment, and management. In part, this lack of understanding is due to conceptual disorganisation in the available literature. In this Review, we address key knowledge gaps in the nomenclature, assessment, and interpretation of cognitive dysfunction in SLE. We apply basic principles of neuropsychology and incorporate lessons from other disease states to recommend principles that can help researchers to design studies in SLE. Better understanding of the trajectory of cognitive dysfunction in SLE will help to inform therapeutic trials, including the appropriate selection of outcome measures to capture clinically meaningful responses.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative dementia, marked by progressive cognitive decline and memory impairment. Despite advances in therapeutic research, single-target-directed treatments often fall short in addressing the complex, multifactorial nature of AD. This arises from various pathological features, including amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregate deposition, metal ion dysregulation, oxidative stress, impaired neurotransmission, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuronal cell death.

Unlabelled: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) such as depression, anxiety, and apathy are present in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and are risk factors for cognitive decline. However, the relationship between NPS and specific cognitive domains is less clear.
Objective: This study aimed to assess whether there is a correlation between NPS and specific cognitive domains.

The dysregulation of T cell differentiation was associated with cognitive impairment. Recently, the peripheric β-secretase (BACE1) has been suggested as a regulator of T cell differentiation, which was increased in both cognitive impairment (CI) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in CI patients. However, the relationship between T cell dysfunction and CI remains unclear.

Rationale: One of the most debilitating drawbacks of cisplatin chemotherapy is neurotoxicity which elicits memory impairment and cognitive dysfunction (chemobrain). This is primarily triggered by oxidative stress and inflammation. Captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, has been reported as a neuroprotective agent owing to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Background: Neurological dysfunction is a common complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and early treatments are critical for the long-term prognosis. This study aimed to investigate whether hypidone hydrochloride (YL-0919) improves neurological function impairment in mice with TBI.
Methods: TBI was induced in adult male C57BL/6J mice using the controlled cortical impact (CCI) method.
