Summary: This study systematically reviewed the evidence on the acute and chronic effects of grape interventions on cognition and mood. Chronic studies found improvements in some cognitive domains, while acute studies showed no consistent effect on memory but improvements in reaction time. However, differences in study design, dosages, and outcome tests hindered between-study comparison. Overall, the results suggest that grapes can enhance certain aspects of cognition after both acute and chronic interventions.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis found that acute ingestion of Guarana has a small positive effect on human cognitive performance, improving response time but not accuracy. Whether the changes in cognitive performance are related to the caffeine content or other bioactive substances in Guarana remains unknown and requires further research.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of acute short- versus long-interval high-intensity interval training on cognitive performance and psychological states in secondary school students. The study found that short-interval HIIT had a positive impact on attention performance, while long-interval HIIT had positive effects on attention and error count. Additionally, fatigue and vigor differed between different training conditions.

Summary: This study explored musical and neuro-cognitive deficits in patients with mild-moderate major depressive disorder (MDD). The results showed that these patients had significant deficits in working memory, verbal learning, and memory, but no differences in music cognition. The study also found a significant relationship between music cognition and attention.

Summary: Psychedelic compounds have the potential to revolutionize neuroscience and psychiatry. Current studies are limited in assessing the acute effects of psychedelics on cognition, and further research is needed to understand the impact of dosage on cognitive function.

Summary: Natural environment may not always enhance mood, but it can improve cognitive tasks with moderate attentional demand. Exercise can improve mood and executive function, but there is no significant interaction between environment and exercise.

Summary: Cognitive and mood changes are commonly experienced before, during and after menopausal transition, which are associated with the effects of estrogen on the brain. Although hormone treatment may alleviate these psychological issues, the evidence for long-term benefits is inconclusive. Personalized hormone therapy should be considered for women with severe menopausal complaints.

Summary: This study investigated the dimensionality of cognitive processes related to memory capacity and language ability in typically developing children and children with developmental language disorder. The results showed that cognitive abilities accounted for a significant amount of the variance in linguistic abilities, and the relationship between working memory and language ability was significantly stronger in the typically developing group than in the language disorder group.

Summary: Depression combined with inflammation or intestinal permeability may contribute to poorer subjective and objective cognitive function in breast cancer survivors. These findings suggest that survivors with depression accompanied by immune dysregulation may be more aware of depression-related cognitive deficits compared to other depressed survivors.

Summary: The study found that working memory capacity and attention control are significant predictors of mind wandering propensity, but the dimensions of emotional valence and intentionality may not be consistent across all types of thought reports.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between metabolic syndrome and cognitive function in middle-aged individuals. The results showed that metabolic syndrome was associated with lower performance in attention and memory, possibly due to elevated fasting glucose and abdominal obesity. This study highlights the importance of addressing cognitive decline and dementia risk in middle-aged individuals.

Summary: The objective of this study was to identify measures for monitoring cognitive function in warfighters. A rapid review was conducted, and 29 English articles were analyzed, revealing that prolonged exposure to high-stress military environments compromises multiple aspects of cognitive function. This highlights the need for a suite of biomarkers to monitor cognitive function in military personnel.
