COGNITION PSYCHOLOGY SLEEP
Mpy39-007	Exploring multifaceted mental resilience from the perspectives of sleep and circadian rhythm in healthy adults
	Quote:	Conclusions Sleep and circadian metrics, specifically frontal slow waves and REM theta activity, attenuated overall occipital spectral power during sleep, and earlier dim light melatonin onset time, represent quantifiable targets that may serve to improve resilience and stress-related mental health in adults. Longitudinal and interventional studies are needed to establish whether sleep interventions can be endorsed as evidence-based approaches for resilience enhancement.

Mpy39-008	Pre-treatment EEG microstates and response to antipsychotic drugs in first episode psychosis
	Quote:	Background and Hypothesis First-line antipsychotics are ineffective in #8764;40 of people with first episode psychosis (FEP). Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based predictive biomarkers could be a scalable solution to reduce trial-and-error.... Conclusions EEG microstate architecture differing from the expected norm is associated with lower odds of treatment response in FEP.

Ps393-005	Autism Rates Increased Sharply for California Kids Born in 2016
	Quote:	For children born in 2020, autism prevalence reached an estimated 8.7 percent for white children in lower-income Butte County and 4.9 percent for Hispanic children in Fresno and Tulare counties. The study also found strikingly high estimates among Black children.... "Understanding the factors driving diagnosed ASD prevalence up to the high levels reported in this study is a pressing public health concern," they concluded. Jablonowski said "a pressing public health concern" is academic-speak for "were destroying the neurological health of our children at epidemic proportions, and we dont know (or dont acknowledge) how and why." He added: "If you havent been paying attention, you may be in for a shock in the next few years. One scenario is that civilization collapses under the weight of our autistic future. Drastic measures are required: some will quibble, some will act."
	Comment:	Some rare studies suggest vaccination issues, others suggest pollution, fungi, or other environmental causes, not simply genetic. And some say a lot of it is just a made up diagnosis to make teaching the more active kids easier.

PRIME NUTRITION PSYCHOLOGY
Ps395-010	Magnesium Puts Psychiatric Drugs to Shame for Depression
	Quote:	While research into natural alternatives for depression is growing daily GreenMedInfo.coms Depression database contains 647 studies on over 100 natural substances that have been studied to prevent or treat depression it is rare to find quality human clinical research on the topic published in well-respected journals. Thats why a powerful study published in PLOS One titled, "Role of magnesium supplementation in the treatment of depression: A randomized clinical trial," is so promising. Not only is magnesium safe, affordable, and easily accessible, but according to this recent study, effective in treating mild-to moderate symptoms of depression.
	Comment:	Zinc does it for Anorexia/Bulimia according to Dr. Cathcart.

	Quote:	Depression may change which emotional faces children notice most, but the pattern appears to depend on family history. Children at higher familial risk became increasingly focused on sad faces, while lower-risk children with rising symptoms paid less attention to happy ones.

	Quote:	A massive MRI study found that Alzheimers disease, mild cognitive impairment, psychiatric disorders, and addiction are associated with distinct patterns of accelerated brain aging. The strongest effects appeared in Alzheimers and mild cognitive impairment, while ADHD and autism showed no significant overall difference.

Zeg39-1065	Can Humor Treat Depression?
	Quote:	Stage-Dependent Efficacy: Humor-based interventions are largely ineffective and potentially harmful during acute, severe depression, but yield strong therapeutic benefits for individuals in partial remission or with mild symptoms by bolstering psychological resilience. Gelotophobia and Anxiety Risks: Individuals experiencing depression are significantly more prone to gelotophobia (the fear of being laughed at), meaning attempts to cheer them up forcefully can be misinterpreted as mockery, provoking severe anxiety. Distraction Outperforms Self-Targeted Humor: While lighthearted humor that distracts from distress provides a safe emotional buffer, attempting to laugh at ones own depression or consuming dark internet memes can reinforce rumination and entrench negative cognitive patterns.
	Comment:	I often laugh at the predicaments Ive gotten myself into. And then try to resolve them. I have found that laughter often invites people to become friends and helpers.
