Summary: This study found that sleep deprivation has a detrimental effect on attention functioning among young adults, resulting in decreased performance on variables such as omission errors and commission errors. Both groups (with ADHD and without ADHD) were similarly affected by sleep deprivation.

Summary: The study focuses on decomposing fetal heart electrical pulses using non-invasive fetal electrocardiogram, achieving improved performance by using masking regions of interest and sine activation functions on signal generators. This method shows good potential for high-performance signal-to-signal conversion.

Summary: Early social interactions are crucial for the development of species-typical behaviors in mammals. This study found that rats deprived of maternal and littermate contact in their early life lacked sexual experience in adulthood, but artificial tactile stimulation could help compensate for this deficiency.

Summary: The study found that stimulation of VTA dopamine neurons, as well as VTA projections to NAcb core and mPFC, impaired attention but spared impulse control before the stimulus cue; additionally, activation of VTA-NAcbS increased impulsivity under longer intertrial intervals, inducing impulsive behavior, with partial replication of effects in the beginning of the ITI.

Summary: Our study found that male and female rats showed equal learning speed and no significant baseline differences in performance. Atomoxetine reduced premature responses in both sexes, with a greater reduction in males. However, atomoxetine had less beneficial effects on impulsive control in females and even impaired attentional performance in female rats. The alpha 1 receptors were found to be mainly responsible for sex differences in attention under noradrenaline modulation. The results highlight the need for sex-specific treatments in addressing attention and impulsivity.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the behavioral effects of prolonged maternal separation (MS) in the offspring of mice. The results showed that prolonged MS caused the adult offspring to exhibit anxiolytic-like behaviors and increased compulsive burying activity.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of white matter injury on cognitive function in premature infants using a rat model. The findings suggest that this model does not lead to long-term cognitive deficits observed in prematurely born human infants.

Summary: There is increasing evidence linking traumatic experiences during early development to later psychopathology. In this study, researchers examined the effects of maternal deprivation on GABAergic interneurons in the amygdala and nucleus accumbens of 9-day-old rats. The results showed that early stress leads to changes in the number and morphology of these inhibitory interneurons, providing further understanding of the impact of maternal deprivation on brain development.

Summary: This study investigated cognitive and impulsivity performance in restless legs syndrome (RLS) patients. It found that RLS patients were more impulsive than healthy individuals, regardless of the presence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or dopamine agonist (DA) use. Learning and attention performances were not affected.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of sleep restriction on visually and memory-guided force production. The results showed that sleep restriction decreased visually guided force production, but had no effect on memory-guided force production. Participants who reported feeling more alert after sleep restriction produced higher force during memory-guided force production.

Summary: Sleep loss affects force control, particularly in visual tasks. After sleep restriction, participants decreased the magnitude of visually guided force production, but not memory-guided force production. Furthermore, participants who reported feeling more alert after sleep restriction produced higher force during memory-guided force production.

Summary: Although temporary bilateral inactivation of the ventrolateral OFC (vlOFC) in female Long-Evans rats led to increased omissions and motor impulsivity during cognitive tasks, it did not affect their willingness or ability to exert cognitive effort for larger rewards. This suggests that the vlOFC plays a minimal role in cognitive effort allocation and valuations of effort.

Summary: The study found that hunger and childhood socioeconomic deprivation were individually associated with impulsivity, but the effects were additive rather than interactive.

Summary: This study found that royal jelly may have a positive effect on neurogenesis in the rat hippocampus following exposure to REM-SD during pregnancy, compensating for the impacts of REM-SD on learning and memory through restoring neurogenesis.

Summary: This study adapted the Posner task, commonly used in humans, for mice using touchscreen technology, showing that mice are a valid animal model for studying attention orienting neural mechanisms. Mice responded more quickly and accurately to valid cues, and could be trained to voluntarily maintain their nose-poke on a touchscreen for attention orienting tasks.
