Summary: The study evaluated the impact of surgical, hormonal, and lifestyle factors on memory and attention in women with BRCA mutations. Results showed that women with preventive surgeries had higher cognitive assessment scores, reassuring high-risk women. However, further studies are needed to assess cognitive function over time as memory deficits become more prevalent.

Summary: This study aimed to identify factors associated with perceived cognitive impairment in patients with advanced lung cancer. The findings revealed that daily step count, fatigue, and anxiety were significantly associated with perceived attention impairment, while anxiety was identified as the most significant factor for perceived memory impairment.

Summary: This study examined the effects of smartphone addiction on cognitive function and physical activity in middle-school children. The results showed that smartphone addiction had a significant impact on the accuracy of cognitive function in the attention domain but had no effect on reaction time. There was also a significant relationship between smartphone addiction and physical activity, with higher addiction levels associated with lower physical activity levels. However, physical activity did not differ in its effect on reaction time based on smartphone addiction levels.

Summary: People with brain tumors, including those previously treated, commonly experience neurocognitive impairments in executive function, memory, attention, and social/emotional functioning. Various factors influence cognitive outcomes in glioma patients, such as tumor characteristics, treatments administered, baseline cognition, anti-epileptic drugs, and genetics. Surgery initially has a negative effect on cognition but most cases recover over time. Radiotherapy has adverse effects on cognition, while the role of chemotherapy is unclear. The effects of age, gender, and fatigue on cognitive outcomes have conflicting evidence.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations between the low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) score, low-fat diet (LFD) score and risk of frailty in older Chinese adults. The results showed that compared to the lowest quartile of LCD score, the highest quartile had a 27% lower risk of frailty. No significant associations were observed between LFD score and risk of frailty.

Summary: The study examined the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on cold cognition in medication-refractory depressed subjects over 8 weeks, finding that responders showed larger cognitive improvements in sustained attention tasks. However, distractions during tasks had a greater impact on non-responders, possibly due to higher levels of rumination.

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential of mobile health applications in improving cognitive function of individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis, particularly in the Attention/Vigilance domain. Results show that cognitive training using the SMART application significantly enhances performance in the Attention/Vigilance domain in the intervention group.

Summary: This special feature explores the purposes served by sleep and describes how the functions of sleep are manifested in neural circuits and cognitive structures. It evaluates the dynamic nature of sleep, the competitive arena for memory systems, the consolidation and integration of new memories, and the origin of lucid dreams. The collection of articles highlights new approaches and insights that will eventually help us understand the full range of functions supported by sleep.

Summary: This study examined the effect of acute normobaric hyperoxic breathing on cognition in healthy humans through a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression. The results showed that hyperoxic breathing improved memory accuracy, attention accuracy, reaction speed, crystallised intelligence, executive function, and information processing. However, the overall quality of evidence was low and there was a large range of study heterogeneity, reducing the reliability of these positive effects. The study suggests that further high-quality research is needed before recommending hyperoxic breathing to enhance cognition.

Summary: Modulating the expression of Fto can lead to epitranscriptomic changes in the mouse hippocampus associated with depression-like behavior, suggesting that Fto may regulate behavior mechanisms by affecting RNA methylation. Alterations in RNA methylation modifications in the hippocampus of mice can influence the depression-like behavioral phenotype.

Summary: The assessment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) following spinal cord injury (SCI) is crucial, but there is a lack of specific neurocognitive screens for SCI and inconsistent criteria for determining rates of MCI. This study aimed to determine the suitability of a neurocognitive screen for assessing MCI in adults with SCI. The results showed that the current screen can differentiate between individuals with and without MCI, as well as MCI at different time points after injury. However, there are limitations in its suitability for assessing MCI after SCI, highlighting the need for a specialized neurocognitive screen for adults with SCI.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the preclinical patterns of cognitive performance heralding the rapid progression from normal cognition to Alzheimer's disease. The results showed that individuals progressing to AD already exhibited worse performance in every cognitive domain at baseline, with memory being the most prominently impaired. Executive function showed the most abrupt decline before the development of AD. Additionally, distinct patterns of cognitive decline differentiated those progressing to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from those rapidly converting to AD.

Summary: The study found that substituting mid-high GI sugars with low GI sugars during breakfast is a viable strategy for sustained energy release and glycemic response in healthy children aged 5-7 years. This indicates that choosing low GI sugars like isomaltulose may be beneficial for cognitive performance and overall health in younger children.

Summary: This study examined brain function in offspring of mothers with and without depression using monetary and social reward tasks. The results showed no significant differences in task activation and functional connectivity between the two groups. The study discussed the possibility of developmental timing in finding differences.
