Summary: This study found that acute ASI ingestion can improve overall RBANS and immediate memory scores in young healthy adults, but the effects on other cognitive domains are not significant. Further research is needed to explore the acute effects of ASI on other domains of cognition, in older populations, and its long-term effects on cognition.

Summary: The combination of inositol-stabilized arginine silicate complex (ASI) and magnesium biotinate (MgB) can promote hair growth by regulating various signaling pathways, while having no effect on nail growth.

Summary: Depression, a common psychiatric disease, can lead to accelerated cognitive dysfunction. This study investigated the relationship between copper levels and cognitive functions in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and found that high copper levels were correlated with decreased memory scores. Furthermore, in mice, increased copper levels in stress-induced depressive behaviors were associated with hippocampal neuron damage and decreased levels of GluN2B and PSD95, which are involved in synaptic function and memory. These findings suggest that copper may play a role in depression-related cognitive disorders and could be a potential therapeutic target.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of a multicomponent intervention on Chinese patients with mild cognitive impairment. The results showed that the intervention had beneficial effects on cognitive function, physical function, depression symptoms, and quality of life, slowing the progression of the disease.

Summary: This epidemiological study aimed to explore the temporal relationship between depressive symptoms and cognitive function. The results demonstrated a bidirectional association between the two, with cognitive function initially having a slightly stronger impact on depressive symptoms, and depressive symptoms having a stronger impact on cognitive function during follow-up. However, within-person effects showed a dominant influence of depressive symptoms on cognitive function.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effects of exercise intervention on cognitive and motor function in patients with cognitive impairment after stroke. The results showed that exercise had significant positive effects on alleviating cognitive and motor impairments after stroke.

Summary: Recent research has shown that physical activity can improve cognitive function in sarcopenic obesity. This study investigated the potential effects of resistance exercise on cognitive and muscle functions in sarcopenic obesity. The results suggest that resistance exercise can enhance muscle and cognitive functions, and there is a positive correlation between muscle function and cognitive function.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the cognitive effects of a combined physically and cognitively engaging physical activity to physical or cognitive activity alone in children. The results showed no significant difference in cognitive performance between different types of activities. Possible explanations include overexertion during physical activity and depletion of positive affect prior to cognitive tasks.

Summary: The impact of psychosocial stress on episodic memory and related cognitive abilities is still unclear. Some studies found a small positive effect of post-learning psychosocial stress with a long retention interval, but no other effects of psychosocial stress were seen. Re-analysis showed no significant effect of psychosocial stress on episodic memory, highlighting potentially different effects between stressor types. Psychosocial stress also had a moderately different effect when emotional vs. neutral stimuli were compared. Additionally, psychosocial stress decreased performance on executive function, but not working memory tasks.

Summary: The effect of media multitasking on cognitive processes is mixed. Previous paradigms used in the literature do not reflect real-world multitasking situations. To address this, a new experimental framework was designed, showing that frequent media multitaskers have decreased task performance.

Summary: This study found an association between heatwave exposure and increased risk of cognitive impairment in older adults. Additionally, there was a synergistic interaction between air pollution, lack of green space, and heatwaves, exacerbating the adverse effects on cognitive function.

Summary: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a global concern among the elderly that affects their health and quality of life. Tai Chi, a form of mind-body exercise, has been recommended as a part of management for MCI patients. This review summarizes epidemiological studies on the effects of Tai Chi on symptom remission in older adults with MCI and explores the potential mechanisms. Evidence suggests that Tai Chi improves cognitive functions and alleviates symptoms of MCI by activating brain signals, altering connectivity, increasing brain volume, and modulating neurotropic and inflammation factors. Studies comparing different types and frequencies of Tai Chi can help identify effective paradigms for MCI in older people.

Summary: This study aims to compare and rank the effectiveness of different modes for exercise combined cognitive training in individuals with Alzheimer's disease or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The results suggest that separate and interactive combination modes may be the most effective for overall cognition and memory performance, while there is insufficient evidence to determine the best combination mode for executive function.
