Among clinical symptoms of MMA, cognitive aspects are acknowledged but not well-characterized, and their proper neuropsychological assessment has never been standardized. We conducted a systematic review to investigate the characteristics of cognitive deficits in non-revascularized adults MMD patients, as well as the main neuropsychological tests used for their evaluation. The literature search was performed by two independent reviewers across three different databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus. Quality assessment was independently performed by two reviewers through the Johanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools. Data on sample size, patients' demographics, age at diagnosis, clinical and radiological characteristics of MMD, administered neuropsychological tests, prevalence of cognitive impairment (CI), and altered cognitive domains were extracted. The literature search allowed the inclusion of 12 papers, confirming the limited literature on this topic. The prevalence of CI ranged from 23 to 92% across studies. Executive functions, especially processing speed and cognitive flexibility, followed by memory skills appeared to be the most affected cognitive domains. Conversely, other cognitive functions have been less investigated. The most commonly used neuropsychological tests were the Trail Making Test, the Digit Span test, and Verbal Fluency.

However, it has not been systematically investigated how SC and social behavior relate to each other, over all neurodegenerative patient groups. A systematic search was performed in the PubMed and PsycINFO databases from inception and extraction up to September 5th, 2023. Analyzing 21 studies, including assessment of the relationship between SC and social behavior with performance-based measures for SC and proxy ratings of social behavior, little evidence was found for a consistent association between SC impairments and social behavior. Weak associations were identified between better emotion recognition and fewer behavioral symptoms r = -.23 CI [-0.42, -0.02] and better emotion recognition and less apathy symptoms r = -.24 CI [-0.46, 0.01]. Disinhibition was more frequently associated with SC aspects than agitation or irritability. Furthermore, affective theory of mind (ToM) was more often associated with social behavior than cognitive ToM. However, the heterogeneity between studies with regard to what aspects of SC and social behavior were measured and with what instruments, and the low number of studies, limit definitive conclusions.

A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, PSYCINFO, EMBASE, CINHALPlus, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science identified peer-reviewed studies published in English on adults aged 16 and above with an ABI diagnosis. Studies were included if they used a validated depression measure, had at least three assessment points, and applied group-based trajectory modelling. Exclusion criteria included studies focusing on neurodegenerative or neurodevelopmental disorders, or solely on treatments. The methodological quality was assessed using Joanna Briggs' critical appraisal tool. The review synthesised data from ten studies involving 13,205 participants (average age 51.38 years, 55.86% male). Four depressive symptom trajectory groups were identified with varying prevalence: stable low (68%), persistent high (13%), increasing (20%), and decreasing (11%). Several key predictors including sex, age, injury severity, and education emerged as significant predictors of group membership in the persistent high, increasing, and decreasing depressive groups. However, variability in study methodologies and sample compositions posed challenges to direct comparison. Nonetheless, the review underscores the importance of long-term monitoring and the development of tailored interventions, as depression can manifest or intensify years post-injury.

This systematic review aimed to provide a critical appraisal of existing group psychosocial interventions in neurorehabilitation, meta-analyse their efficacy, and explore the contribution of group process to outcomes. Eligible studies were published in English-language peer-reviewed journals and recruited adults with acquired brain injury in receipt of group psychosocial interventions.

Within an innovative approach, this article aims to reconsider the autobiographical recall deficits observed in AD according to the embodied approach to cognition, in order to promote the development of embodied interventions aimed at reducing the difficulties of patients with AD. To this end, we propose two preliminary models: the first concerning autobiographical recall disorders in AD according to the embodied approach to cognition, and the second concerning the management of autobiographical recall disorders in AD according to the embodied approach to cognition.
