Glucose enhancement of human memory: A comprehensive research review of the glucose memory facilitation effect [PDF]
The brain relies upon glucose as its primary fuel. In recent years, a rich literature has developed from both human and animal studies indicating that increases in circulating blood glucose can facilitate cognitive functioning.

Long-term neurocognitive benefits of FLASH radiotherapy driven by reduced reactive oxygen species
Significance Ultra-high dose-rate (≥100 Gy⋅s−1) irradiation, termed FLASH radiotherapy, affords some remarkable (if not unexpected) normal tissue sparing in the irradiated brain when compared with conventional dose rates (0.07–0.1 Gy⋅s−1) used in ...

A novel neurocognitive approach for placebo analgesia in neurocognitive disorders
Neural correlates of placebo analgesia (PA) in patients with neurocognitive disorders have not yet been elucidated. The present study aimed to evaluate how and to what extent executive (dys)functions of the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) may be related to PA.

HIV and Neurocognitive Dysfunction [PDF]
The spectrum of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) has been dramatically altered in the setting of widely available effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). Once culminating in dementia in many individuals infected with HIV, HAND now typically manifests as more subtle, though still morbid, forms of cognitive impairment in persons surviving ...

Neural correlates of affective contributions to lexical decisions in children and adults
The goal of the present study was to investigate whether 6–9-year old children and adults show similar neural responses to affective words. An event-related neuroimaging paradigm was used in which both age cohorts performed the same auditory lexical ...
