Summary: Emotion regulation is important for successful aging in older adults. This study examined the late-positive potential (LPP) in relation to emotional well-being in a sample of older adults. The results showed greater LPP amplitude for emotionally salient stimuli compared to neutral stimuli, reduced LPP amplitude after instructions to reappraise emotional response, and a blunted LPP for individuals with higher depressive symptoms. Older adults with low emotional well-being were less successful at reappraisal according to self-reported ratings of negative emotion.

Summary: Research findings suggest that both positive and minimising reappraisal strategies can effectively improve affect in response to close relationship conflicts. The minimising reappraisal group showed significantly increased positive affect and relationship satisfaction, but decreased conflict resolution motivation over time. In contrast, the positive reappraisal group had less pronounced increases in positive affect but increased conflict resolution self-efficacy over time.

Summary: Understanding the physiological correlates of cognitive overload is important for assessing human cognition limits, developing new methods for defining cognitive overload, and mitigating negative outcomes associated with overload. Previous studies focused on a narrow range of verbal working memory load, and it remains unclear how the nervous system responds to a working memory load exceeding typical capacity limits. This study used EEG and pupillometry to investigate the central and autonomic nervous system changes associated with memory overload, and found that both pupil size and theta activity showed a pattern of initial rise, short plateau, and decrease, suggesting similar neural mechanisms.

Summary: Excitation-dependent dynamic multicolor luminescent materials were achieved using KLu3F10:Tb crystals with modified morphology through tuning the surface-coated citric acid (CA) content. Under 254 nm UV excitation, typical Tb3+ green emissions were observed, while a strong broadband emission peaking at 442 nm appeared in addition to these Tb3+ emissions under 365 nm excitation. The energy transfer process between the defect state and Tb3+ was clarified. This work may contribute to the development of single-type activator-doped multicolor luminescent materials for high-level anti-counterfeiting.

Summary: The rise of stimuli-responsive polymers has greatly expanded the materials available for small-scale, wirelessly controlled soft-bodied robots. Inspired by the dandelion seed, researchers have designed an artificial seed with a soft actuator made of light-responsive liquid crystalline elastomer. This artificial seed demonstrates optically controlled wind-assisted dispersal and lift-off/landing actions, as well as light-induced local accumulation in descending structures. These findings provide novel approaches for wirelessly controlled, miniature devices that can navigate over a large aerial space.

Summary: Through bioinformatics analysis, we identified 41 potential autophagy-related genes associated with cardioembolic stroke (CE stroke). SERPINA1, WDFY3, ERN1, RHEB, and BCL2L1 were identified as the most significant differentially expressed genes that may affect the development of CE stroke by regulating autophagy. CXCR4 was identified as a hub gene for all types of strokes, while ARNT, MAPK1, ATG12, ATG16L2, ATG2B, and BECN1 were identified as specific hub genes for CE stroke. These findings provide insights into the role of autophagy in CE stroke and contribute to the discovery of potential therapeutic targets for CE stroke treatment.

Summary: People often express their message and emotions indirectly. This study investigated how the brain processes the emotional meaning of indirect replies. The results showed that informative and negative indirect replies were understood less accurately and took longer time to process compared to direct replies. Additionally, informative indirect replies triggered a larger N400 wave, while negative indirect replies elicited enhanced ERP responses only over the late P600 component. These findings suggest that the comprehension of indirect replies changes dynamically based on the emotional aspects of the intended meaning.

Summary: In daily conversations, people tend to use indirect replies in face-threatening situations, and these replies are perceived as negative by recipients. This study investigated the influence of indirect replies on reducing recipients' negative emotions and the underlying brain structures involved. Results showed that indirect replies indeed attenuated recipients' negative emotion experience, and the left caudate, right anterior cingulate cortex (rACC), and connectivity between rACC and left medial prefrontal cortex (lmPFC) were found to be positively correlated with individual differences in such emotion attenuation. These findings provide empirical evidence for the face-saving function of indirect replies and highlight the role of emotion and theory of mind networks in individual emotion attenuation.

Summary: This study used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to explore the relationship between individual's spontaneous neural activity and social interaction anxiety in a nonclinical population. The results showed that social interaction anxiety was correlated with the fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations in several brain regions, and that emotional intelligence partially mediated this relationship. This study provides evidence for the neural basis of social interaction anxiety in the normal population and highlights the role of emotional intelligence in this anxiety.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of alamandine on allodynia in a rat model and found the presence of MrgD receptors in the vlPAG and RVM regions. Microinjection of alamandine resulted in a significant increase in paw withdrawal threshold and could be blocked by an MrgD receptor antagonist. Upregulation of MrgD receptor expression following allodynia induction suggests a potential compensatory mechanism in response to pain.

Summary: The present study aimed to investigate the separate and combined effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the primary motor cortex (M1) and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F3) regions on pain relief in patients with type-2 diabetes suffering from neuropathic pain (NP). The results showed that tDCS had the potential to induce pain relief in patients with type-2 diabetes suffering from NP. The mean perceived pain intensity in the posttest was lower in the M1 stimulation group than in the F3 stimulation group. However, more trials with larger sample sizes are necessary to define clinically relevant effects.

Summary: This study found a general impairment in humor comprehension in individuals with schizophrenia, with mental jokes being more difficult for both patients and controls. Humor comprehension was closely associated with the patients' overall pragmatic and linguistic profile, while the association with Theory of Mind (ToM) was minimal. Another notable finding was the increased appreciation of humor in individuals with schizophrenia, who rated jokes as funnier than controls did, regardless of whether they were correctly or incorrectly completed. The funniness ratings were not predicted by any measure, suggesting a dimension of humor untied to cognition or psychopathology.
