In this study of longitudinal cognitive changes among patients at risk for postacute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), a validated digital assessment platform, BrainCheck, revealed partial cognitive recovery among some patients and delayed decline among others, potentially linked to PASC mechanisms. #JNCN @anpadirect bit.ly/420i6Yf

The author introduces the current diagnostic criteria for functional cognitive disorder (FCD), reviews progress based on the diagnostic criteria for this disorder, and provides recommendations for improvements to enhance clinical assessment and treatment for FCD. #JNCN @anpadirect bit.ly/3PaP3OI

In a nonclinical sample of youths, in the first year after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), mTBI was not associated with differential odds of new psychiatric disorders (NPDs), a psychiatric history before mTBI predicted NPDs, and Hispanic ethnicity predicted lower odds of an NPD. #JNCN bit.ly/41gn4zN

Investigating the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on impulse control among individuals with Parkinson’s disease, the authors report that DBS of the globus pallidus internus led to more adverse effects on impulse control, compared with DBS of the subthalamic nucleus. #JNCN bit.ly/3OgOr9Z

In this systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials testing rehabilitation therapies for functional neurological disorder, studies estimated that more than 70% of patients have clinical improvement, but high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to clarify overall efficacy. #JNCN @anpadirect bit.ly/3QlqaQJ

The authors explored the associations of apathy, mood, and cognition with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among adults with Parkinson’s disease. Executive apathy had the greatest negative impact on HRQoL, highlighting the need to assess apathy multidimensionally in clinical settings. #JNCN bit.ly/4uFiMiG

An examination of how depression, pain, and movement problems are related to cognition among individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) found that movement problems in PD may explain why depression is linked to poor cognition, especially among those with postural instability and gait difficulty. #JNCN bit.ly/4sOBnrv

Bahners et al. identify a brain network linked to optimal therapeutic outcomes in pts with Parkinson’s disease receiving DBS. The network operates in the high beta frequency range and closely resembles treatment-responsive networks mapped with fMRI. shorturl.at/CrCuP
