Summary: Early surgical treatment in presumed asymptomatic patients with ILGG was associated with stable or improved neuropsychological outcomes in 87.2% of patients at 3 months, with only mild cognitive decline observed in 6 patients.

Summary: Most patients undergoing awake craniotomy are awake within a reasonable time frame after discontinuation of propofol and remifentanil infusion, but time to awake exceeded 20 minutes in 17% of the patients. Increasing age, nonsmoker status, and higher ASA classification were found to be associated with a prolonged time to awake.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the relationship between tracking groups, cognitive control functions, and plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factors concentrations from childhood to adolescence. The results showed that maintaining high cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) over three years was positively associated with shorter reaction time and improved working memory.

Summary: This study aimed to assess preoperative parameters predicting the risk of patient insufficient intraoperative cooperation leading to the arrest of the awake resection. The results showed that insufficient intraoperative cooperation significantly reduced the resection rates, and age, uncontrolled epileptic seizures, previous oncological treatment, hyperperfusion on MRI, and mass effect on midline were independent predictors of insufficient cooperation. Preoperative assessment through patient selection can reduce the risk of insufficient cooperation.

Summary: The study demonstrated distinct power law exponent features in the tumoral tissue for the first time, potentially providing a novel electrophysiological marker in the future. The significant features observed in the peritumoral tissue of gliomas indicate the area where both the onset of epileptiform activity and the tumor infiltration occur.

Summary: Early maximal surgical resection is the first-line treatment for DLGG, but recurrence is inevitable. Repeat surgeries can prolong survival and preserve quality of life. The decision to reoperate is based on the interaction between glioma relapse and brain reorganization. Adaptation of medical-surgical strategy to the changing connectome is important.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of different shift work on the cognitive and executive performance of Chinese nurses in a clinical setting. The findings showed increased fatigue in nurses after day and evening shifts, and shift work affected reaction time following the evening shift. However, there was no significant difference in accuracy, suggesting a high level of attention among the nurses.

Summary: This study found disrupted causal connectivity among the salience network (SN), default mode network (DMN), and central executive network (CEN) in drug-naive first-episode MDD patients. Particularly, the right anterior insula (rAI) may play a unique role in ordered or hierarchical information processing, presumed to include bottom-up and top-down reciprocal influences among the three networks in MDD.

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: This study investigates the impairment of executive functioning in patients with eating disorders and its association with clinical features. The findings suggest that executive function impairment is related to greater severity of eating disorder symptoms, which may lead to a negative treatment outcome.

Summary: Awake surgery with cognitive monitoring is increasingly being used to preserve brain networks and functionality. Recent studies have shown that surgery in the right hemisphere, particularly in the parietal lobe, can be associated with deficits in cognitive functions, such as cognitive flexibility. This pilot study highlights the importance of international collaboration in understanding the impact of white matter networks during awake surgery.

Summary: MRI diffusion tractography (DT) shows high sensitivity in predicting morbidity after neurosurgical oncology treatment, with a specificity that varies among specific tracts; In the first 100 awake neurosurgery procedures, pre-operative DT predictions had an accuracy of 92.2%, with post-operative deficits generally lasting less than 3 months; Post-operative DT confirmed surgical preservation of tracts and helped anticipate recovery potential for patients.

Summary: Awake surgery for brain gliomas improves surgical resection and reduces postoperative complications. In addition to preventing hemiparesis and aphasia, awake surgery should also consider patients' cognitive and emotional functions. By implementing more tasks and exploring inter-network communication, higher-order functions can be monitored more accurately, and the surgical onco-functional balance can be tailored based on each patient's expectations, enabling them to resume an active life.

Summary: This study found that adults with ADHD have various deficits in executive functions, such as impairments in planning, response inhibition, and impulsivity, but visual-motor processing and sustained attention may improve with age.
