The graphical abstract provides a visual representation of the intricate interplay among willpower, social influence, spiritual contradiction, and moral disengagement. The model posits that social influence has the potential to enhance moral disengagement; however, this effect is tempered by willpower and mediated by spiritual contradiction. Individuals who possess higher levels of willpower demonstrate augmented cognitive control, thereby diminishing the influence of social influence on moral disengagement. Conversely, individuals with lower willpower exhibit a heightened vulnerability to social pressure, which, through spiritual contradiction, amplifies their susceptibility to moral disengagement. This theoretical framework contributes to our understanding of the role of executive function and self-regulation in ethical decision-making, emphasizing the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying moral disengagement in social contexts.

Twenty-seven Parkinson's disease patients underwent cognitive assessment (MoCA), retinal OCT imaging and brain MRI. Thinning in specific retinal layers (IPL, GCL) correlated both with cognitive decline and thinning of temporal and limbic cortices. This supports retinal imaging as a potential biomarker for detecting neurodegeneration-related cognitive decline in the disease.

This multi-center retrospective study evaluated the risk factors and prognostic impact of tumor-related epilepsy (TRE) in 1,036 adult patients with diffuse gliomas. Patients were classified into three prognostic groups: OD/AC (IDH-MT, lower-grade gliomas), NOS/NEC (IDH-WT, unclassified grade II-III), and HGG (high-grade gliomas). TRE incidence was highest in OD/AC (44.4%) and lowest in HGG (16.5%). Age was an independent predictor of TRE in OD/AC, while the absence of deep structure involvement was linked to TRE in NOS/NEC and HGG. Univariate analysis showed TRE was associated with longer progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), particularly in NOS/NEC patients (median PFS: 35.2 vs. 13.6 months, P = 0.02). However, TRE was not a significant prognostic factor in multivariate models. These findings suggest TRE's prognostic role is likely influenced by glioma biology and clinical factors rather than being an independent predictor of survival outcomes.

This study used Mendelian randomization to explore the causal relationships between sleep traits and allergic diseases.

The current study investigated the impacts of 8-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and Ritalin, alone and in combination, on cognitive functions and hippocampal oxidative parameters following chronic ethanol consumption in male rats. Adult male rats were divided into eight groups and received one of the following treatments: ethanol 20% (ET) (3 mL/kg/day, orally, 5 consecutive days/week in weeks 1–4, and 3 consecutive days/week in weeks 4–8), Ritalin (RIT) (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally, three consecutive times/week for 8 weeks), HIIT + SAL (five consecutive times/week for 8 weeks + saline injection), or saline (1 mL/day, intraperitoneally, three consecutive times/week for 8 weeks). Cognitive performance was assessed using the Morris water maze (MWM) and passive avoidance tasks. Oxidative stress markers were measured in the hippocampus. Chronic ethanol consumption caused learning and memory deficits and disrupted oxidant/antioxidant balance in the hippocampus of rats. HIIT potentially improved memory impairments by restoring this balance, whereas Ritalin ameliorated cognitive dysfunction through a mechanism that requires further investigation.

Individuals with an evening chronotype reported greater use of expressive suppression, which was associated with a greater tendency to emotionally eat and a higher body mass index (BMI). In contrast, individuals with a morning chronotype reported more frequent use of cognitive reappraisal, which was associated with reduced emotional eating and a lower BMI. These findings suggest a clear pathway through which chronotype might be associated with BMI, with evening chronotypes at a greater risk of weight gain.

This study assessed the effects of combining probucol with atorvastatin on self-care ability and blood lipids in acute cerebral infarction (ACI) patients. Eighty-one patients within 72 h of onset were assigned to receive either atorvastatin alone or atorvastatin plus probucol. Key measures included blood lipid levels, Barthel Index (BI) for self-care, and MRI for infarct volume. The combination group showed greater reductions in total cholesterol and LDL, with improved BI scores after 6 months. These results suggest that probucol combined with atorvastatin enhances lipid control and self-care in ACI patients.

We suggested an early screening and prevention of child maltreatment to prevent the onset of insomnia symptoms in adolescents with major depressive disorders. Special attention should be given to the child neglect, which is often ignored and difficult to detect in practice. Moreover, this study found symptom rumination and reflective pondering may mediate the association between childhood maltreatment and insomnia, which may be intervention targets to reduce the adverse effects of child neglect on insomnia symptoms.
