Two experiments investigated the role of visual imagery in prospective memory (PM). In experiment 1, 140 participants completed a general knowledge quiz which included a PM task of writing a letter "X" next to any questions that referred to space. Participants either visualised themselves performing this task, verbalised an implementation intention about the task, did both, or did neither. Performance on the PM task was enhanced in both conditions involving visual imagery but not by implementation intentions alone...

REVIEW
Saeed Anwar, Toshifumi Yokota
Dysferlinopathies refer to a spectrum of muscular dystrophies that cause progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. They are caused by mutations in the DYSF gene, which encodes the dysferlin protein that is crucial for repairing muscle membranes. This review delves into the clinical spectra of dysferlinopathies, their molecular mechanisms, and the spectrum of emerging therapeutic strategies. We examine the phenotypic heterogeneity of dysferlinopathies, highlighting the incomplete understanding of genotype-phenotype correlations and discussing the implications of various DYSF mutations...

REVIEW
J Van Der Walt, R Parker
Healthcare providers face the challenging task of managing patients who suffer from chronic nociplastic pain conditions. Pain is a multidimensional experience, and the current approach to managing people in chronic pain often fails to meet the needs of these patients. Novel ways of treating people who suffer from chronic nociplastic pain with classic psychedelic agents may offer a new lens through which to approach their pain. Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin are both serotonergic agents with a long history of use in treating people with chronic pain and mental health disorders...

Whether the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung (1875-1961) became psychotic after his mid-thirties is much debated. His recently published Black Books, a seven-volume journal, reveal new insights into this debate. Based on a phenomenological analysis of his self-reports in these books and in other writings, we here identify several types of anomalous perceptual experiences: hypnagogic-hypnopompic experiences, hyperphantasia, hallucinations, personifications, and sensed presence. We argue that these experiences were not indicative of a psychotic disorder, but rather stemmed from extremely vivid mental imagery, or hyperphantasia, a condition Jung's contemporaries and later biographers were unable to take into account because it had not yet been conceptualised...

The burden of noncommunicable neurological disorders, such as stroke, dementia, and headache disorders, are on the rise in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs), while neuroinfectious diseases remain a major concern. The development of neuroscience research aimed at defining the burden of neurological diseases across the lifespan, as well as optimizing diagnosis and treatment strategies, is fundamental to improving neurological health in resource-limited settings. One of the key factors to advancing neuroscience research in LMICs is the establishment of effective collaborations based on responsible and trustworthy partnerships between local scientists in LMICs and international collaborators...

Semiconductor nanowire (NW) quantum devices offer a promising path for the pursuit and investigation of topologically-protected quantum states, and superconducting and spin-based qubits that can be controlled using electric fields. Theoretical investigations into the impact of disorder on the attainment of dependable topological states in semiconducting nanowires with large spin orbit coupling and g-factor highlight the critical need for improvements in both growth processes and nanofabrication techniques. In this work, we used a hybrid lithography tool for both the high-resolution thermal scanning probe lithography and high-throughput direct laser writing of quantum devices based on thin InSb nanowires with contact spacing of 200 nm...

As a promising candidate for the inkless coloring method, white structural color has undergone widespread investigation because of its fascinating properties. Recently, various methods have been developed to prepare disordered micro/nanostructures to produce white structural color. However, complex and high-cost processing procedures severely restrict the efficient and large-scale preparation of disordered micro/nanostructures for achieving white structural color. Herein, we report an ingenious way to realize white structural color by laser-inducing craze-like microstructures in core-shell microfiber-based polymers...

In Summer 2021, a genomic study of autism, Spectrum 10 K, was paused due to backlash from the autistic and autism communities. This raised important questions about how these communities perceive genomic research. The Personal Experiences of Autism and Perceptions of DNA-based research study was established to address this issue among a range of sub-groups within these communities. Twenty parents of nonverbal or minimally verbal autistic children took part in the current study.

INTRODUCTION: People who grew up under the care of children's social services are a highly vulnerable group, with 50% of this population meeting the criteria for a mental health problem at any one time. Emerging evidence suggests that there is a disparity between the number of people who require support, and those that receive it, and that they face several barriers to accessing timely and effective mental health support. We have a limited understanding of how to support the mental health of this group as they 'age out' of children's social services, and the transition to independence, which occurs around the age of 18...

Inherited glycosylphosphatidylinositol deficiency disorders (IGDs) are a group of rare multisystem disorders arising from pathogenic variants in glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor pathway (GPI-AP) genes. Despite associating 24 of at least 31 GPI-AP genes with human neurogenetic disease, prior reports are limited to single genes without consideration of the GPI-AP as a whole and with limited natural history data. In this multinational retrospective observational study, we systematically analyse the molecular spectrum, phenotypic characteristics, and natural history of 83 individuals from 75 unique families with IGDs, including 70 newly reported individuals: the largest single cohort to date...

BACKGROUND: Autistic adults are at increased risk of mental health difficulties; however Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS) often struggle to offer appropriate support to this group. Within England, Government initiatives, such as the 'Transforming Care' programme which included 'Building the Right Support' (NHS England, 2015) have promoted the need for AMHS to consider how they can better provide autism-informed support to autistic adults. AIMS/METHODS: Here, we describe the first two years of work of the Transforming Care in Autism (TCA) Team; a specialist service that supports autistic adults, without a moderate or severe intellectual disability or presenting significant risk to others, experiencing a mental health crisis...
