Summary: Research on negative symptoms in schizophrenia has provided insights into reward-related processing impairments and dysfunction within specific brain networks. Associations between negative symptoms and reward-processing deficits, cognitive dysfunction, and other factors suggest the importance of objective behavioral and neural measurements in understanding this complex syndrome. Utilizing findings from other brain disorders through transdiagnostic research may shed light on common origins of motivation disorders across diseases and inform future treatment development.

Summary: Efficient sludge reduction was achieved by discharge plasma oxidation in this study, with approximately 18.22% sludge disintegration and 27.8% reduction of total suspended solids. The generation of reactive oxygen species played a crucial role in sludge disintegration by destroying flocs and promoting the conversion of organic substances, while concurrent cell lysis released intracellular organics and water into the liquid phase.

Summary: The study found that frontal dopamine plays a non-selective role in regulating the motivational processes underlying top-down control over automated behavior. These findings have implications for understanding the neurobiological mechanisms of addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorders, as well as suggesting a potential trans-diagnostic novel mechanism to address these symptoms.

Summary: Obesity is a global health concern and tea and its components have the potential to combat obesity by increasing energy expenditure and lipid catabolism, decreasing nutrient digestion and absorption, and regulating adipocytes, neuroendocrine system, and gut microbiota.

Summary: Pain and obesity, as well as their associated impairments, are major health concerns. Understanding the relationship between the two is the focus of a growing body of research. This review analyzes neuroendocrine and neuroimmune modulators involved in both pain and obesity, providing insights into nociceptive and anti-nociceptive mechanisms and discussing immune activities and metabolic alterations in their interactions with the neuroendocrine system.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between cognitive reserve, physical reserve, motivational reserve, and cognitive impairment in elderly subjects. The results suggest that individuals with higher reserves are less likely to experience cognitive impairment. Factors such as sex, age, educational level, and institutionalization also play a role in these relationships.

Summary: People with chronic low back pain (CLBP) demonstrate significant declines in multiple cognitive domains. Potential mechanisms include altered activity in the cortex and neural networks, grey matter atrophy, microglial activation and neuroinflammation, comorbidities associated with CLBP, and gut microbiota dysbiosis.

Summary: Obesity is a widespread public health issue with various comorbidities, and bariatric surgery is considered an effective treatment method. Different types of bariatric surgery alter food metabolism pathways and reduce stomach capacity to lower food tolerance, leading to a significant decrease in body mass index.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of hypoxia on metabolism in men with excess weight. The results showed that hypoxia increased energy expenditure and levels of PYY, potentially leading to appetite inhibition and weight loss, but it also indicated the development of insulin resistance.

Summary: The consumption of 'western'-style diets and sedentary lifestyles have led to a global epidemic of obesity, with maternal obesity, overnutrition, and unhealthy dietary patterns having lasting adverse effects on offspring's physical and mental health. Studies suggest that maternal overnutrition may disrupt offspring cognitive function, affective state, and psychosocial behavior through mechanisms such as neuroinflammation, disrupted neuronal circuities, dysregulated brain hormones, and changes in gut microbiota. Further research is needed to explore the specific pathways shaping abnormal behavior in offspring in the context of maternal obesogenic diet exposure.

Summary: Tauopathies, characterized by the aggregation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, are neurodegenerative disorders that are associated with epilepsy. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this comorbidity could lead to new therapeutic strategies targeting both epilepsy and cognitive decline.
