Summary: Insomnia patients show impaired inhibitory control compared to healthy sleepers, as evidenced by lower accuracy and slower reaction times in response inhibition and conflict inhibition tasks. Electrophysiological results suggest a correlation between insomnia and a decline in inhibitory control ability. Improving inhibitory control function in insomnia patients may have clinical significance.

Summary: The study found that bilinguals tend to exhibit more proactive control in inhibitory tasks, while monolinguals show more reactive control. Bilinguals displayed reduced signal during interference suppression but increased later signal, while both bilinguals and monolinguals showed increased later signal in mixed incongruent trials.

Summary: This study investigates the emotional affordances of emoji by employing the Emoji Spatial Stroop Task. The results show that both the valence and vertical positioning of emoji significantly impact valence perceptions. Positive emoji in higher vertical space are rated more positively, while negative emoji in lower vertical space are rated more negatively.

Summary: Through the emotional Stroop task and ERP data, it was found that dangerous drivers have a negativity bias towards anger, indicating potential differences in processing emotion information between safe and dangerous drivers. In the early emotional processing of anger stimuli, the brain response of dangerous drivers is significantly insufficient, possibly related to dispositional fearlessness and uncaring traits.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of red wine consumption on the brain and found that red wine consumers showed stronger neural activation in certain tasks and performed slightly better in certain neuropsychological tests. However, age and intelligence quotient had moderating effects on these associations.

Summary: Numerical cognition allows us to understand how people selectively attend to numerical information in the presence of conflicting non-numerical information. In a numerical Stroop task, participants judge pairs of Arabic digits that can have congruent or incongruent physical size with numerical value. This study examines the impact of the salience of the irrelevant non-numerical information on congruency effects and their neural substrates. Results show that higher salience leads to larger congruency effects, suggesting separate processes for inhibiting irrelevant dimensions and attending to relevant numerical information.

Summary: Suicidal behavior is associated with deficits in cognitive control and suicidal ideation (SI) has inconsistent links to neuropsychological functioning. This study examined attentional control capacities related to variability in SI and severity in individuals with major depressive disorder. The findings showed that SI variability was associated with greater attentional interference and this was independent of SI severity, depressive affect, or baseline depression. However, there was no relationship between attentional control and SI variability or intensity.

Summary: The study found that older bilinguals demonstrate superior inhibitory control compared to older monolinguals, regardless of individual characteristics that were previously thought to moderate this effect.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of caffeine ingestion on Stroop test performance before and after repeated small-sided games (SSG) in professional soccer players. The study found that a soccer-specific exercise protocol improved the Stroop test performance in professional soccer players, but acute caffeine ingestion had a detrimental effect.

Summary: The study investigated differences in brain functional connectivity between obesity-prone and obesity-resistant individuals, finding greater connectivity in the basal ganglia and dlPFC in the former group. The stronger connections with lateral sensorimotor and inferior visual networks in the obesity-prone individuals may reflect a disrupted balance between goal-directed and habitual control systems.

Summary: This study used independent component analysis to investigate connectivity within the human connectome and found that at very low dimensionality, ICA spatial maps consisted of Visual/Attention and Default/Control meta-networks, while nuisance sources may be present in denoised high-quality data at high dimensionality. Basic summary statistics can effectively distinguish artifacts from gray matter sources.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of an implicit priming intervention on neuronal and behavioral responses to food cues. The results showed that the intervention reduced the brain response to high-calorie foods, suggesting its effectiveness in altering the salience of food cues. This finding may have implications for weight loss and maintenance efforts.

Summary: Individuals with high self-reported Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) tend to interpret uncertainty negatively. This study found that IU was associated with physiological responses to predictable and unpredictable threat, as well as the ability to differentiate between threats and safety. These findings suggest that IU-related biases may differ depending on the physiological measure used in uncertain threat tasks.

Summary: Although sex differences in food intake have been consistently observed, the factors contributing to these differences are not well understood. This study aimed to examine how sex impacts the relationships between food ratings, eating-related attitudes/behaviors, BMI, and mood. The results showed that hunger, disinhibition, and cravings were associated with increased appeal and desire for high-calorie food, while satiety was associated with decreased desire for both high and low-calorie food. Women reported greater dietary restraint, hunger, disinhibition, eating disorder-related behaviors, depression, and stress compared to men. However, no significant effects of sex on the relationships between food ratings and eating-related attitudes/behaviors, BMI, and mood were observed.

Summary: The study describes the psychometric development of a revised version of the Wisconsin Smoking Withdrawal Scale (WSWS) to measure nine putative withdrawal constructs. Through derivation and validation sample analyses, a longer version with 19 items and six subscales (WSWS2-L) and a brief 6-item version (WSWS2-B) were developed, demonstrating good reliability, validity, and fit in confirmatory factor analyses. The WSWS2-L and WSWS2-B have improved construct coverage, fewer items, and other enhancements compared to the original WSWS.
