{"title":"[Memories of the Future - A Narrative Literature Review of Episodic Future Thinking].","authors":"Patricia Lajko,&nbsp;Anita Must","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>In recent years, the question of how we can grasp the ability to plan future events has come to the forefront in light of the retrieval of personal memories from the past. If episodic memory is responsible for envisioning future events, there appears to be an overlap between autobiographical memory and imagining the future. The aim of this current narrative literature review is to present existing theories and research findings, thereby facilitating the development of an organizational framework necessary for the unified investigation of future thinking. This article introduces the neural network processes underlying episodic future thinking, with particular emphasis on the significance of the hippocampus. It outlines the constructive episodic simulation hypothesis, suggesting that episodic memory and episodic future thinking largely rely on similar neural substrates and assumes that a primary function of the episodic memory system is to flexibly reorganize units of individual, contextual memories to simulate possible future events for the individual. The article presents research results related to memory deficits, as it can be presumed that impairment of autobiographical memory in psychiatric disorders also results in impaired episodic future thinking. Future-oriented thoughts serve various functions, such as decision-making, action planning, and emotional regulation. The article also delves into schema theories, as when generating episodic future thoughts, people often activate their general knowledge about their personal future before a specific event occurs. Future thinking is crucial for well-being, goal attainment, aging, optimism, and understanding clinical conditions. How people think about the future can influence their decisions. The elucidation of emotionally futureoriented thoughts, autobiographical knowledge structures, and life-history schemas plays a crucial role in the construction of episodic future thinking. Understanding the role of memory in simulating future events can be important in comprehending the constructive nature of memory and, in general, the functioning of memory systems in diseases, thereby contributing to the specific selection of treatments for these conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":39762,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychopharmacologia Hungarica","volume":"25 3","pages":"142-154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41172300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All the elements of the hypothesis are well known but, in this context, are published first. The following are the most critical aspects of the recommended chronic stress model. 1/ Stress contains both sympathetic and parasympathetic elements, but the latter predominate. 2/ The mediator of stress is carbon dioxide, the substance that can turn the psyche into soma. 3/ In humans, chronic stress is mainly social; people cause it to each other. Chronic social stress is created frequently due to deviations in civilisation, education and tolerance. 4/ The freeze response (or freezing behaviour) plays a subordinate role in the animal world; it lasts mainly for a maximum of minutes, while in humans, it dominates and can continue for decades. 5/ The decisive step of freeze is apnea, hypopnea, which occurs due to aversive psychological eff ects. After a more extended existence, mild chronic respiratory acidosis develops and most often appears in the clinical form of obstructive sleep apnea. 6/ Chronic hypercapnia can shape the metabolism into metabolic syndrome. 7/ After that, various cardiovascular and metabolic complications (hypertension, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, depression) may develop - partly due to genetic and lifestyle reasons.

(2022).","authors":"Zoltan Rihmer,&nbsp;Peter Dome,&nbsp;Cornelius Katona","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>In their recently published systematic \"umbrella\" review, Moncrieff and colleagues conclude that there is no consistent evidence that depression is caused by decreased serotonin activity in the central nervous system (CNS). However, this paper - which was extensively publicized and received a lot of attention on the social media - can cause misunderstandings, since the serotonin hypothesis of depression in its original form (i.e. reduced serotonin activity in the CNS = depression) formulated more than 50 years ago has been considered outdated for several decades. It has long been known that depression is a heterogeneous disorder not only genetically, clinically and biologically but also from a pharmacotherapeutic perspective. The decreased activity of serotonin, which undoubtedly plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of depression, is characteristic of only a subgroup of depressed subjects whose clinical picture is mostly dominated by intensified negative emotions, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, decreased appetite, self-blame and suicidality and these individuals are primarily responsive to SSRIs. By contrast, depression cases with reduced positive affects (characterized by anhedonia, anergia, inhibition and reduced cognitive functions) are mainly caused by a disturbance in the metabolism of dopamine and/or noradrenaline. These patients are primarily responsive to dual-action (e.g. SNRI) antidepressants. Results of serotonin and catecholamine (dopamine, noradrenaline) depletion studies also suggest that that the dysregulation of serotonin and dopamine/noradrenaline in the CNS is characteristic of different subgroups of depressed patients. In addition to the serotonergic, dopaminergic and noradrenergic systems, many other neurotransmitter systems (e.g. cholinergic, glutamatergic, GABAergic) and other mechanisms (e.g. neuroinfl ammation) have also been proven to play a role in the development of the disorder. Knowledge of the data presented in our publication is important since the simplistic interpretation by Moncrieffetal. of the role of serotonin in the pathogenesis of depression may undermine confidence in SSRIs in many patients.

Methods: Nationally representative adult samples derived from the National Survey on Addiction Problems in Hungary from 2015 (N=2274) and 2019 (N=1385) were used in the present study. Dichotomous items measured the disapproval of eleven forms of substance use, such as smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and different forms of illicit drug use. Results: A unidimensional measurement model of substance use disapproval was supported. Item response analyses indicated that disapproval of alcohol use and cigarette smoking had moderate discrimination capacity and were located at moderately low-moderately high levels of the substance use disapproval continuum, whereas illicit substance use forms had high-very high discrimination capacities and were ranged at low-very low levels of the disapproval spectrum. Disapproval of experimenting with heroin, ecstasy and designer stimulants had the highest information capacity in 2015, whereas in 2019 disapproval of experimenting with synthetic cannabinoids and experimenting with and using occasionally cannabis were the most informative.
