The effect of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele and olfactory function on odor identification networks
ConclusionsThe results contribute to the clarification of the neurocognitive structure of odor identification processing and suggest that poorer odor familiarity and identification in ε4 carriers may signal multi-network dysfunction. Odor familiarity and identification assessment in ε4 carriers may contribute to the predictive value of risk for MCI and AD due to the breakdown of sensory-cognitive network integration. Additional research on olfactory processing in those at risk for AD is warranted. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Association between adding salt in food and dementia in European descent: A mendelian randomization study
ConclusionThis study provides evidence suggesting that high salt intake is causally associated with an increased risk of developing dementia, including AD and undefined dementia, highlighting the potential importance of reducing salt consumption as a preventive measure. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Theta and alpha oscillations may underlie improved attention and working memory in musically trained children
Conclusions: These results suggest that musically trained children have improved neuronal mechanisms for both attention allocation and memory encoding. Our results can be important for developing interventions for people with attention and working memory difficulties. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Melatonin improves maternal sleep deprivation ‐induced learning and memory impairment, inflammation, and synaptic dysfunction in murine male adult offspring
ConclusionsThese findings indicated that Mel could ameliorate learning and memory impairment induced by MSD, and these beneficial effects were related to improvement in inflammation and synaptic dysfunction. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Antibody ‐positive autoimmune encephalitis and paraneoplastic neurological syndrome: A Swedish case series
ConclusionSwedish patients with AE and PNS had similar clinical characteristics as previously described cohorts from other geographical regions except for anti-NMDAR encephalitis, with older onset than expected. The onset of non-tumor-related AE occurred predominantly in the warm seasons, and AE with a more insidious onset was associated with delayed treatment initiation. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Detecting language network alterations in mild cognitive impairment using task ‐based fMRI and resting‐state fMRI: A comparative study
ConclusionTask-based fMRI and ICA are more sophisticated and reliable tools in evaluation cognitive impairments in language processing. Our findings support the neural mechanisms of the cognitive impairments in MCI. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Investigating disparities in smoking cessation treatment for veterans with multiple sclerosis: A national analysis
ConclusionVwMS received significantly less smoking cessation treatment, compared to matched controls without MS, showing a critical gap in health services as VwMS are not receiving dual NRT as the standard of care. Prescription rates were especially lower for male and Black VwMS, suggesting that under-represented demographic groups outside of the white female category, most often considered as the “traditional MS” group, could be under-treated regarding smoking cessation support. This foundational work will help inform future work to promote equitable treatment and implementation of cessation interventions for people l...

Implications of anti ‐ganglioside antibodies in isolated dysphagia following COVID‐19 infection: Case series
We report particular cases of three patients with unexplained dysphagia after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis, who all showed linkage to anti-ganglioside antibodies against the NeuNAc( Î ± 2-3)Gal as possible causes. AbstractBackgroundThere have been multiple reports about the occurrence of dysphagia after the contraction of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, a detailed pathology and epidemiologic relation between COVID-19 infection and dysphagia have yet to be established. Here, we report three cases of unexplained dysphagia after COVID-19 diagnosis, with atypical clinical presentations.Case r...

Misperception of body verticality in neurological disorders: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionThese findings suggest a potential misperception of SPV in patients with stroke and other neurological disturbances. Patients with CNSD could present an alteration of vestibular and somatosensory contribution to verticality construction, particularly stroke patients with pusher syndrome (PS), followed by those with PS combined with hemineglect.
