A Cognitive-Behavioral Model of Apathy in Parkinson’s Disease by Olivia Plant, Annika Kienast, Daniel S. Drew, Elitsa D. Slavkova, Kinan Muhammed, Helen Kennerley, Masud Husain

“…Emerging lines of evidence conceptualize apathy as a reduction of motivation associated with disordered effort-based decision-making and dysfunction of distinct neural circuitry between the basal ganglia and medial prefrontal cortex. Here, we introduce a novel cognitive-behavioral framework that can inform a clinician’s conceptualization and treatment of apathy, using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques. …”

Reimagining e+e− collider precision luminosity measurements by Wilson Graham, Madison Brendon

“…This could further refine the e+/e− polar angle measurement, aid with charge measurement, improve Bhabha rejection (for γγ), and, last-but-not-least, help mitigate the beam-induced electromagnetic deflection that biases the Bhabha acceptance by providing high precision longitudinal vertex information in Bhabha events, which can be used to diagnose this effect of the beam on the final-state electron and positron.…”

Associative learning and recollection of olfactory memory during the respiratory cycle in mammals: how is the self cognized in consciousness? by Kensaku Mori, Hitoshi Sakano

“…We infer that during the inhalation phase, feedforward odor signals drive burst firings of a specific subset of pyramidal cells in the olfactory cortex. In contrast, during the subsequent late-exhalation phase, top-down cognitive scene-signals from the higher areas activate again the same pyramidal cells as those activated by the feedforward signals. …”

Neural correlates of facial recognition deficits in autism spectrum disorder: a comprehensive review by Jianmei Liu, Jianmei Liu, Huihui Chen, Haijing Wang, Zhidan Wang

“…This review explores the neural mechanisms underlying these deficits, focusing on both functional anomalies and anatomical differences in key brain regions such as the fusiform gyrus (FG), amygdala, superior temporal sulcus (STS), and prefrontal cortex (PFC). It has been found that the reduced activation in the FG and atypical activation of the amygdala and STS contribute to difficulties in processing facial cues, while increased reliance on the PFC for facial recognition tasks imposes a cognitive load. …”

Approaches to the Modulation of Abdominal Pain by Emeran A Mayer, Tony Lembo, Lin Chang

“…Even though the precise mechanisms and sites underlying these alterations remain incompletely understood, plausible targets for the development of effective pharmacological treatments are receptors on peripheral terminals of visceral afferent nerves (opioids and serotonin), ion channels and receptors on dorsal horn neurons within the spinal cord (opioids, glutamate, calcitonin gene-related peptide and neurokinin-1), and supraspinal targets in the brainstem within the limbic system and in the prefrontal cortex (serotonin, catecholamines, dopamine and acetylcholine). …”
