Nonexercise Equations for Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Older Adults using Body Roundness Index and Waist Circumference
Wednesday, December 24, 2025
Hayley Chappell
CONCLUSIONS: Equations using WC and BRI perform better for estimating CRF than equations using body mass index and resting heart rate in an inactive older adult population. These equations could be used to screen participants during study enrollment when specific estimates of CRF are desired for the study sample. However, these equations should be validated for use in clinical populations to stratify disease risk.
Potential Mechanisms of Influence Between Spiritual Practices and Cognitive Health: A Systematic Review and Conceptual Model
Wednesday, December 24, 2025
Katherine Carroll Britt
Background/Objectives: This systematic review summarizes the evidence regarding potential mechanisms underlying the relationship between spiritual practices and cognitive health in adults. The review was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Methods: An extensive search of six electronic databases (i.e., PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, Sociological Abstracts, ATLA, CINAHL) was conducted using keywords related to spiritual...
Reward-specific learning parameters change across normative adolescent development and are blunted in youth with high risk for depression
Monday, December 22, 2025
Holly Sullivan-Toole
CONCLUSIONS: The observed developmental changes in traditional and computational metrics are largely consistent with the optimization of learning from rewards across adolescence. Further, the observed developmental changes in specifically reward-related computational parameters are consistent with heightened adolescent reward system plasticity. Additionally, there was support for our hypothesis that maternal history of depression may exert a unique effect on learning from rewards specifically,...
Sex Specific Threshold Effects of Prenatal Stress on Striatal Microglia and Relevant Behaviors in Mice
Sunday, December 21, 2025
Sara V Maurer
CONCLUSIONS: High and immune stress affected adult striatal-dependent behavior, exceeding the threshold necessary for persistent impacts mostly in males, but all stress models affected embryonic microglia, suggesting a lower threshold for early neuroimmune impacts. Distinct severities and aspects of prenatal stress may therefore underlie different NDD-relevant outcomes.
Reconstructing Psychopathology: A Data-Driven Reorganization of the Symptoms in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
Friday, December 19, 2025
Miriam K Forbes
In this study, we reduced the DSM-5 to its constituent symptoms and reorganized them based on patterns of covariation in individuals' (n = 14,762) self-reported experiences of the symptoms to form an empirically derived hierarchical framework of clinical phenomena. Specifically, we used the points of agreement among hierarchical principal components analyses and hierarchical clustering, as well as between the randomly split primary (n = 11,762) and hold-out (n = 3,000) samples, to identify the...
Electrodermal reactivity in an aversive countdown task: Concurrent and prospective relations with triarchic psychopathy traits and antisocial behavior outcomes in a child-aged sample
Friday, December 19, 2025
Bridget M Bertoldi
INTRODUCTION: Considerable evidence exists for reduced electrodermal reactivity to aversive cues/events in high-psychopathic individuals, but most research of this kind has employed adult samples and cross-sectional designs. The current study examined skin conductance (SC) activation during anticipation of and in response to a noise stressor in a sample of 9-10 year old children in relation to constituent traits of psychopathy described by the triarchic model (i.e., boldness, disinhibition,...
Creation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Curriculum for Required Medical School Psychiatry Rotation
Friday, December 19, 2025
Gerard Ondrey
CONCLUSIONS: The DEI curriculum integrated into the University of Minnesota third-year psychiatry clerkship was well received by students, with positive feedback about the curriculum and an increased ability to work with psychiatric patients from diverse backgrounds.
Intersectional pain disparities and resilience in veterans with chronic pain
Monday, December 15, 2025
Mackenzie L Shanahan
CONCLUSIONS: Findings highlight the robust connection between race and pain. They also suggest that socioeconomic and rural and pain disparities may be less prevalent in Veterans. Resilience may be a modifiable factor that can improve pain outcomes in Black patients. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
Health Care Journeys of Veterans With Gulf War Illness
Friday, December 12, 2025
Katharine Bloeser
CONCLUSIONS: Findings point to the need to shift care for Veterans with GWI, and similar conditions, away from overly focusing on individual symptoms. Instead, primary care clinicians need training and support, potentially from tertiary care experts, to develop and implement holistic care plans that recognize GWI as a complex chronic condition.
Changing rural-urban and racial patterns in VA tele-mental health use among women Veterans, 2019-2022
Thursday, December 11, 2025
Michelle A Mengeling
CONCLUSIONS: SVT-MH use among women veterans increased substantially during the study period, with rural-urban gaps narrowing over time. These findings suggest SVT-MH differences may shift rapidly based on infrastructure, outreach, and policy implementation. Ongoing monitoring and tailored strategies are needed to ensure fair access to SVT-MH for all veterans, especially for AIAN and rural women veterans.
The legal intersection of psychosis and substance use: A mixed methods investigation of settled insanity
Monday, December 8, 2025
Ciera Arnett
CONCLUSIONS: The legal doctrine of settled insanity does not map well onto clinical reality and complicates the intersection of intoxication and mental illness by prompting insoluble questions about the etiology of mental illness. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) activation reduced mania-relevant hyperexploration and risky decision-making in dopamine transporter knockdown mice
Friday, December 5, 2025
Tarannum Yumi Munir
CONCLUSIONS: These findings support the potential for TAAR1 agonists as novel treatments for hyperactivity and risky decision-making in BD, and suggest an inverted U-shaped relationship between dopamine tone and decision-making optimization.
Preventive Dental Visits Among Older Adults With Mental Health Conditions: A Retrospective Cohort Study From a Dental School Setting
Thursday, December 4, 2025
Katie McAllister
CONCLUSION: In this sample of older adults with self-reported mental health condition, about one-third had at least one annual preventive dental visit during the observation period. Receiving care from faculty members was significantly associated with increased odds of attending annual preventive dental visits.
Structural brain abnormalities and aggression in schizophrenia: mega-analysis of data from 2095 patients and 2861 healthy controls via the ENIGMA consortium
Wednesday, December 3, 2025
Jelle Lamsma
It is hypothesised that structural brain abnormalities in individuals with schizophrenia are associated with aggressive behaviour, but this has not been tested directly. We pooled magnetic resonance imaging and clinical data from 2095 patients and 2861 healthy control subjects across 20 sites of the ENIGMA-Schizophrenia Working Group. Using normative modelling, we quantified individual-level deviations from controls (z-scores) for global and regional grey matter volume and white matter...
