Research shows that stimuli rated for their relevance to a survival scenario have a higher recall probability when compared to other deep encoding conditions. This phenomenon, known as survival memory advantage, is a robust finding that has been demonstrated by various experimental manipulations. The current study aimed to examine associations between participants' psychological markers (perceived stress, anxiety, coping, cognitive control, and flexibility) and their memory performance in survival and other encoding conditions (fight, flight, and pleasantness).

A severe infection such as COVID-19 may trigger a stroke. The imaging and clinical features of patients with COVID-19 are not well-defined. We aimed to analyze neuroimaging and clinical features of stroke patients with COVID-19.

Dropped head syndrome is a common complication of various neurological disorders. Most commonly, dropped head syndrome is due to primary or secondary myopathy. However, neurodegenerative diseases and various other conditions can also be complicated by dropped head syndrome. Among the primary myopathies, dropped head occurs most commonly in association with mitochondrial disorders, congenital myasthenic syndrome, and axial myopathies. Among the secondary myopathies, dropped occurs most commonly in association with inflammatory myopathies. Myasthenia is the most common transmission disorder associated with dropped head syndrome. The neurodegenerative disorder most commonly associated with dropped head syndrome is Parkinson syndrome. The diagnosis and treatment of dropped head syndrome from any cause requires a multidisciplinary approach. Outcome varies considerably but early diagnosis and early treatment are associated with a more favourable outcome.

Inflammatory neurologic manifestations, both infectious and non-infectious, have been reported secondary to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19). However, the relationship of spinal tumor and COVID-19 longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) coexistence has never been reported in our knowledge. The clinical presentation and response to treatment of a 24-year-old female patient diagnosed with COVID-19 LETM and anaplastic ependymoma are described in this case report. The Patient's cerebrospinal fluid COVID-19 antibody level was higher than serum and she was resistant to immunosuppressive treatment. The interaction between COVID-19 and spinal tumor was discussed in the light of the literature. It is thought that COVID-19 infection could trigger tumor growth in this patient. Also, this is the first case of anaplastic ependymoma and COVID-19 myelitis coexistence in the literature.

It has been suggested that inhibin B (InhB), Anti-Müllerian hormone (Müllerian-inhibiting substance, AMH) levels, and 2D/4D finger length ratios are related to sex differences in neurodevelopmental disorders. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of InhB, AMH levels, and 2D/4D finger length ratios in male children with specific learning disorder (SLD).

USP9X has been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders due to its role in synaptic development and neural function. This study aimed to compare USP9X and TGF-β levels in children with autism and healthy controls, and explore their relationship with autism severity.

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder distinguished from other neurodegenerative disorders by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra region of the brain, and is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, along with Alzheimer's Disease. PD is characterized by the presence of Lewy bodies when evaluated pathologically. Recent studies showed that the incidence of PH development as a result of genetic mutations alone is very low among all PD cases, and that environmental effects contribute significantly to the disease progression. The molecular mechanisms of diseases are associated with the maintenance of gene and protein expressions as a result of epigenetic regulations. The role of these regulations in the development and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases is still not clearly understood.

First-episode schizophrenia is a prevalent psychiatric disorder with a complex etiology. This meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of risperidone in treating patients with first-episode schizophrenia.

Bibliometric analysis is a comprehensive method used to investigate the academic impact and characteristics of publications in a research field. It has been widely used in various fields of medicine. However, bibliometric analysis of publications in the field of clinical neurology from Türkiye has not yet been evaluated. In this study, we aimed to analyze the publications in the field of clinical neurology in the last decade from Türkiye using the bibliometric method and network analysis and to determine research trends and key issues.

Cognitive biases can be defined as dysfunctional patterns of thought formation that lead to incorrect conclusions and abnormal perceptions and are critical factors in the development and maintenance of psychosis. Two self-report measures assessing cognitive biases in psychosis spectrum disorder (PSD) have recently been developed: the Davos Assessment of Cognitive Biases Scale (DACOBS) and the Cognitive Biases Questionnaire for Psychosis (CBQp). This study aimed to validate the Turkish versions of the DACOBS and CBQp.

Bariatric surgery rates have been increasing in the treatment of obesity worldwide recently. In addition to many physical changes after bariatric surgery, the bioavailability of medications can also be significantly affected. In this article, we present a 51-year-old female patient diagnosed with lithium toxicity after sleeve gastrectomy surgery. The patient started to show gastrointestinal symptoms post-surgery after 37 days. She was initially followed up with the diagnosis of gastroenteritis and continued to use lithium. Subsequently, neurological symptoms were added, and she was diagnosed with lithium toxicity. During the toxicity treatment, elevated mood were also observed. We aimed to emphasize the importance of post-bariatric surgery follow-up for patients undergoing psychiatric treatments, especially those using lithium, focusing on both medication management and monitoring of clinical symptoms.

Since there are not enough scales to evaluate the cognitive performance of adolescents in Türkiye, the aim of this study is to conduct a reliability and validity study of the Test of Nonverbal Intelligence-3 (TONI-3) for individuals aged between 14 and 17.

The aim of the study is to determine the role of upper motor neuron (UMN) or lower motor neuron (LMN) dysfunction as the primary initiator of distal-proximal and lateral-medial gradients of muscle involvement in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is an examination that is increasingly used in neurodegenerative diseases. This study in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients; It aims to reveal the presence of vascular involvement in the retina and optic nerve and its relationship with disease-related clinical parameters with the help of OCTA.

In this study, mental and physical illnesses, types of traumatic events, frequency of recurrence and sociodemographic characteristics of patients with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) were examined.

The study aims to compare childhood traumas, attachment styles, impulsivity, and quality of life of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) patients in remission with healthy controls and to reveal the relationships between these parameters.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between symptom dimensions within obsessive-compulsive disorder and thought-action fusion, magical thinking, and schizotypal personality traits.

Organ transplantation practices have witnessed tremendous advances all over the world and in Türkiye in recent years, and the pre-transplantation preparation, operation and postoperative follow-up procedures are being meticulously handled. However, there is very limited information about follow-up processes of pediatric patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) undergoing organ transplantation. Furthermore, it is difficult to manage the arduous and long-term care and follow-up processes in ASD cases undergoing organ transplantation. In this case report, an 11-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of ASD and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was reviewed psychiatrically for the suitability of ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation and heart transplantation, and the multidisciplinary council process was evaluated. The council decided that the case was suitable for heart transplantation but not suitable for long-term intracorporeal device implantation due to behaviors such as plucking wounds, playing with vascular access, and being nervous about vascular access. The council stated that due to sensory hypersensitivity of the case, implantation of such a device may further increase anxiety, and involuntary damage to the device may result in personal harm. We hope that this case report will guide future endeavors to develop devices suitable for cases with ASD or other behavioral problems.
