Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of concurrent motor and cognitive impairments 3 months after stroke. Results showed that 30-40% of participants had motor or cognitive impairments, while 20% had both impairments simultaneously. Motor performance was found to be associated with memory, executive function, and global cognition.

Summary: Research has found a significant association between turning mobility and global cognitive function, as well as distinct cognitive domains, such as visuospatial ability and language, in patients with chronic stroke. Balance function and lower limbs strength play a mediating role in the association between cognition and turning.

Summary: This literature review examines the impact of aging on takeover performance during automated driving. Older adults generally have poorer takeover performance compared to younger adults in terms of takeover time and quality. However, factors such as non-driving related tasks can also influence takeover performance in older adults.

Summary: The narrative discourse of stroke survivors can provide clinicians with additional information about patients' experience of illness and attitude towards recovery, potentially supporting individualized treatment strategies. However, further studies in larger cohorts of stroke patients are needed to confirm these results.

Summary: This study investigated the cognitive effects of EGb 761 (R) treatment in patients after acute ischemic stroke. The results showed that EGb 761 (R) treatment significantly improved overall cognitive function, especially in language learning and shape tracking. This suggests that EGb 761 (R) treatment has a positive effect on improving cognitive function in stroke patients.

Summary: This paper proposes a machine-learning algorithm that selects driving aptitude-related indices using sparse regularization. The experimental results show that this method can accurately predict the presence or absence of driving aptitude and identify indices strongly related to driving aptitude.

Summary: The study found that cannabis has acute effects on driving performance and related cognitive skills, with some measures showing impairment. Long-term cannabis users experienced less impairment compared to other users, and factors such as ingestion method, dosage, and time affected the duration of Delta(9)-THC's effects. The recommendations suggest waiting at least 5 hours after inhaling cannabis before engaging in safety-sensitive tasks.

Summary: This review summarizes the factors influencing cognition in stroke patients and highlights the necessity of breathing exercises. Although the underlying mechanisms by which these exercises improve cognitive function are still limited, the diverse array of supporting evidence suggests that breathing exercises are expected to contribute to improvements in cognitive function in stroke patients.

Summary: The study aimed to develop a Swedish short version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (s-MoCA-SWE) for stroke patients. The secondary objectives were to determine the optimal cut-off value for the s-MoCA-SWE to screen for cognitive impairment and compare its sensitivity with previous short forms of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

Summary: This study found that LPD can regress in patients after MTX withdrawal, and the decrease in PBL count was more prominent at the onset of MTX-LPD, especially in EBER-positive cases. Patients with LPD recurrence after MTX withdrawal also exhibited a decreased PBL count at recurrence.

Summary: In short, the study investigates how the neural network of C. elegans can generate oscillations for both forward and backward movement and analyzes the distribution of connection weights through machine learning. The research confirms that the motor neuron circuit can generate oscillations for forward and backward movement, with connection weights following a Boltzmann-type distribution.

Summary: This study proposes an EMG pattern classification method that incorporates a scale mixture-based generative model and trains the model using variational Bayesian learning. An information-based method is introduced to optimize the hyperparameters of the proposed method. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method on public datasets and validate its effectiveness.

Summary: This study reports a method to estimate rapid changes in peripheral arterial stiffness induced by sympathetic nervous system activity (SNSA) using local pulse wave velocity (LPWV), and further quantifies SNSA based on the estimated stiffness. The validity of LPWV in the quantitative evaluation of SNSA is demonstrated, and blood pressure correction can be optional depending on application scenarios.

Summary: Finding the neural basis of consciousness is challenging, but the Integrated Information Theory (IIT) suggests that the posterior part of the brain, particularly the phenological consciousness, is the core of consciousness. This study used functional magnetic resonance imaging to estimate the main complex of brain dynamics in the HCP and sleep datasets. The analysis revealed common networks, such as executive control, salience, and attention networks, which maintained during sleep but with reduced information compared to the wakefulness stage.

Summary: This paper proposes a neural network based on the Johnson S-U translation system that can effectively represent data with skewness and kurtosis distributions. By transforming the discriminative model into a linear combination and incorporating it into the neural network structure, the convergence of network learning is theoretically guaranteed. Experimental results show that the proposed network achieved high classification performance without the need for hyperparameter optimization on artificially generated and real biological data.
