Summary: This study examined the responses to personally relevant social rewards, money, and neutral outcomes in individuals with and without autism. The results showed that autism did not differentially influence responses to these outcomes, but was associated with enhanced early anticipation brain responses and larger pupil constrictions during reward reception.

Summary: Feedback processing is commonly studied by analyzing the brain's response to discrete events. Recent animal work suggests that midbrain dopaminergic activity can track moment-to-moment changes in reward, but there is a debate whether this activity reflects reward prediction errors or state values. In this study, researchers developed an EEG measure of continuous feedback processing and found that scalp-recorded potentials were consistent with reward anticipation and tonic dopamine release, supporting the hypothesis that this activity is related to reward prediction errors.

Summary: A systematic review on exercise intervention studies using event-related potentials (ERPs) as outcome for cognitive performance suggests that aerobic exercise interventions have a positive impact on attention, working memory, and inhibition, although the exact neural mechanisms underlying this relationship remain uncertain.

Summary: Objective reward-related processes play a crucial role in eating disorders, but current research using self-report and imaging methods has limitations. Event-related potentials (ERPs) derived from electroencephalography offer a more precise measure of neurocognitive reward processing. However, ERPs have not been used to directly examine reward functioning in eating disorders. This paper reviews the clinical utility of ERPs in reward-related research and suggests its potential application for studying eating disorders.

Summary: Despite substantial research on the genetics of psychotic disorders, much of their genetic architecture remains unresolved. Studies investigating the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms with electroencephalographical intermediate phenotypes are currently limited to individual studies, highlighting the need for more consistent research and reporting to strengthen future meta-analyses.

Summary: Previous research shows that social distance can affect people's social evaluations of others, with individuals generally evaluating close others more positively than distant ones. This study used electroencephalography methods to investigate how social distance modulates individuals' evaluation processes of others over time. The results revealed that during the initial processing stage, the P2 component was larger when friends were negatively evaluated, while the opposite pattern was observed for strangers. In the second stage, negative evaluations of friends were associated with enhanced medial frontal negativity and early mid-frontal theta band activity, which was not observed in social evaluations of strangers. In the late stage, the P3 was larger for positive evaluations of friends but not sensitive to social evaluations of strangers, and the late mid-frontal theta was also modulated by social distance. These findings provide direct and powerful evidence for the modulation of social distance on individuals' evaluations of others across all processing stages.

Summary: The study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate the effects of carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinsing on electrophysiological correlates of visuospatial attention. The results showed that CHO rinsing decreased the bottom-up controlled visuospatial attention (N1(pc)-ERP component) and increased the top-down controlled visuospatial attention (N2(pc)-ERP component) compared to non-nutritive sweetener (NNS) rinsing. However, behavioral performance was not affected. These findings suggest that orosensory signals can influence neurocognitive processes of visuospatial attention in a fasted state.

Summary: Clayson et al. (2021) conducted a multiverse analysis to evaluate the effects of data processing choices on ERP measures. They provided recommendations for data processing, but their approach needs further investigation into the reasons for differences in ERP results.

Summary: This study found repetition suppression in all age groups and repetition enhancement in adults through event-related potentials. The magnitude of neural repetition effects was positively correlated with individual item recognition performance, indicating common neural mechanisms of memory formation. This highlights the significance of neural repetition effects as an indicator of individual differences in episodic memory encoding across the lifespan.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the pathophysiology of OCD using electroencephalographic (EEG) event-related potentials (ERPs). The results showed altered frontal neural activity across multiple cognitive processes in individuals with OCD, supporting the frontal dysfunction theory of OCD. These findings may serve as potential candidate endophenotypes for OCD.

Summary: Selective encoding was studied by manipulating the value of specific stimuli for participants to remember. It was found that participants paid more attention to high-reward items in mixed lists but treated both high and low-reward items equally in pure lists. The results suggest that reward-enhanced memory is influenced by both automatic dopaminergic interactions and meta-cognitive strategies.

Summary: This review discusses the potential of EEG and ERP measures in studying neurodevelopment in infants and young children, highlighting the promises and challenges of using these measures. The ongoing multi-site EEG data harmonization process and preliminary usability data for diverse samples are also presented as important steps in enhancing the quality of research in this field.

Summary: This study investigated the neurophysiological changes in Parkinson's disease patients with and without the G2019S-LRRK2 gene mutation. The results showed that patients with the mutation performed better in cognitive tasks and exhibited more efficient early cognitive processes, which may contribute to their better cognitive performance.

Summary: This study investigated the neural processing of eye-contact in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using eye tracking technology. The results showed that individuals with ASD exhibited differences in neural responses to eye-contact, which was related to sensory and anxiety symptoms. When the eye-contact was predictable, individuals with ASD showed attenuated neural responses. These findings highlight the potential role of anticipation, expectation, and gaze perception in the vulnerabilities of eye-contact during social interactions in ASD.
