    Abstract In the context of discovery of synaptic autoantibodies in patients with encephalitis, autoimmune psychosis with acute encephalopathy and psychosis as the main symptom has been proposed on the basis of those autoantibodies. Correspondingly, autoantibody-related mechanisms have also been proposed in schizophrenia. This paper outlines the relationship between schizophrenia and autoimmune psychosis by describing the relationship between synaptic autoantibodies and schizophrenia and our findings regarding anti-NCAM1 autoantibodies in schizophrenia.

    Abstract Introduction: Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a crucial symptom that diminishes the quality of life. The primary causes of EDS are central hypersomnia, including narcolepsy type 1 (NT1), type 2 (NT2), and idiopathic hypersomnia (IH). EDS is often associated with other psychiatric disorders, particularly attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) is the standard assessment tool for EDS. Although the MSLT yields numerous parameters, most are not employed in clinical practice. In this study, we leveraged novel MSLT parameters to discern central hypersomnia and ADHD presence. Our analysis focused on sleep latency variability and employed cluster analysis to identify unique temporal patterns.
    Methods: We examined the MSLT data from 333 patients; of these, 200 (aged 14-54, mean: 24.9 ± 8.1, years; 114 females) met the inclusion criteria comprising comprehensive data an Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) below 5, and no prior diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome. We employed a time-course cluster approach that specifically targeted sleep latency variability during the MSLT.
    Results: Considering both multiple clustering quality evaluations and the study's objectives, we identified 9 distinct clusters. Clusters 1 and 3 predominantly had MSLT-positive results; Cluster 2 was entirely MSLT-positive; Clusters 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 were mainly MSLT-negative; and Cluster 7 had mixed results. The diagnosis of hypersomnia varied notably among Clusters 1, 2, 3, and 7, with Cluster 2 demonstrating a pronounced tendency towards NT1 and NT2 diagnoses (p < 0.005). However, no significant correlation was observed between ADHD diagnoses and specific sleep latency patterns in any cluster.
    Conclusions: Our study highlights the value of time-course clustering in understanding sleep latency patterns of patients with central hypersomnia.

    Abstract Although mitigating burnout has long been a pressing issue in healthcare, recent global disasters, including the COVID-19 pandemic and wars, have exacerbated this problem. Medical professionals are frequently exposed to diverse job-induced distress; furthermore, the importance of people's sense of coherence (SOC) over work has been addressed to better deal with burnout. However, the neural mechanisms underlying SOC in medical professionals are not sufficiently investigated. In this study, the intrinsic fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) were measured as an indicator of regional brain spontaneous activity using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging in registered nurses. The associations between participants' SOC levels and the fALFF values within brain regions were subsequently explored. The SOC scale scores were positively correlated with fALFF values in the right superior frontal gyrus (SFG) and the left inferior parietal lobule. Furthermore, the SOC levels of the participants mediated the link between their fALFF values in the right SFG and the depersonalization dimension of burnout. The results deepened the understanding of the counter role of SOC on burnout in medical professionals and may provide practical insights for developing efficient interventions.

    Abstract Background: Evidence regarding the effectiveness of melatonin receptor agonists in treating delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSWPD) remains limited. This study aimed to determine the optimal dose of ramelteon, a melatonin receptor agonist, for the better treatment adherence of DSWPD.
    Methods: The patients who were diagnosed definitely as having DSWPD by board-certified physicians specialized in sleep medicine and started to receive strategically timed ramelteon medications after the diagnosis were included. Data on the initial ramelteon dose and follow-up duration (up to 24 months) were collected retrospectively. Patients with treatment discontinuation, changes in ramelteon dose, or the addition of other sleep-related medications were considered dropouts. Kaplan-Meier estimates, log-rank tests, and Cox regression analyses were performed.
    Results: Overall, 373 patients were analyzed. The findings revealed that the 2 mg dose of ramelteon was associated with a lower dropout rate compared to the other doses (8 mg, 4 mg, and 1 mg). The dropout rate for the 2 mg group was estimated to have a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.5762 when compared with the 8 mg dose group. Sex did not reveal a significant HR, whereas older age exhibited a small but significant HR (0.9858).
    Conclusion: For achieving better adherence, a dosing regimen of strategically timed 2 mg ramelteon may be the best for the treatment of DSWPD. The therapeutic dose window for better adherence seems to center approximately 2 mg of ramelteon. Furthermore, caution should be exercised when treating younger patients to prevent dropouts.

    Abstract Theory of mind (ToM), which is the ability to infer and reason about others' mental states, plays a key role in successful social interactions. Previous studies have shown that cognitive flexibility (CF), which refers to the ability to adequately switch between different perspectives, is linked to ToM performance in a variety of experimental tasks. However, the mechanisms of the association between CF and ToM is still largely unknown. Here, we investigated the relation of CF with neural activity during ToM processing in 26 healthy male adults using a functional magnetic resonance imaging task of moving shapes in social patterns. The CF abilities were estimated using the self-report Cognitive Flexibility Scale. Diverse brain areas, including the middle frontal gyrus (MFG), inferior frontal gyrus, amygdala, precuneus, and temporoparietal junction (TPJ), were activated during ToM processing. In these areas, individual differences in CF abilities were associated with the strength of neural activity in the right MFG and TPJ. These findings highlight the notion that cognitive ability to switch between different perspectives according to a changing environment is crucial for the attribution of mental state to others, and suggest that the right MFG and TPJ are deserving of further examination for the development of new therapies to improve social cognition in clinical populations.

    Abstract Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo GTP biosynthesis pathway. Recent studies suggest that IMPDH2, an isoform of IMPDH, can localize to specific subcellular compartments under certain conditions and regulate site-specific GTP availability and small GTPase activity in invasive cancer cells. However, it is unclear whether IMPDH2 plays a site-specific regulatory role in subcellular functions in healthy cells. In this study, we focused on brain cells and examined the localization pattern of IMPDH2. We discovered that IMPDH2 forms localized spots in the astrocytes of the adult mouse hippocampus. Further analysis of spot distribution in primary astrocyte cultures revealed that IMPDH2 spots are predominantly localized on branching sites and distal ends of astrocyte stem processes. Our findings suggest a potential unidentified role for IMPDH2 and GTP synthesis specifically at specialized nodes of astrocyte branches.

    Abstract Positron emission tomography studies investigating dopamine release by drug or reward demonstrated blunted dopamine release in relation to addiction to psychostimulants such as cocaine and amphetamine. However, recent studies reported that nicotine and gambling addiction showed opposite results. Several factors such as illness stage or neurotoxicity of substances could be considered for this discrepancy. Behavioral addiction such as gambling disorder is a good target of neuroimaging because it is free from overt neurotoxicity. However, even in gambling disorder, the results of fMRI studies investigating neural response to reward are mixed. Neuroimaging together with taking the various backgrounds of patients into account should contribute not only to a better understanding of the neurobiology of addiction but also to the development of more effective and individually tailored treatment strategies for addiction.

    Abstract Many people have difficulty empathizing with others who have dissimilar characteristics, such as physical disabilities. We hypothesized that people with no disabilities imitating the movements of individuals with disabilities could improve the empathic capacity toward their difficulties. To evaluate this hypothesis, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure the neural activity patterns of 26 healthy participants while they felt the difficulties of individuals with hemiplegia by adopting their perspective. The participants initially either imitated or observed hemiplegic hand movements shown in video clips. Subsequently, the videos were rewatched and their difficulties were rated. Analysis of the subjective rating scores indicated that after imitating the hemiplegic movements, the participants felt into the difficulties of hemiplegia better than if they simply observed them. The cross-validation approach of multivoxel pattern analyses demonstrated that the information regarding the effect of imitation on empathizing with the difficulties was represented in specific activation patterns of brain regions involved in the mirror neuron system and cognitive empathy by comparing to other conditions that did not contain the information. The cross-classification approach detected distinct activation patterns in the brain regions involved in affective and cognitive empathy, commonly while imitating the hemiplegic movements and subsequently feeling them. This indicated that the common representation related to these two types of empathy existed between imitating and feeling the hemiplegic movements. Furthermore, representational similarity analysis revealed that activity patterns in the anterior cingulate cortex linked to affective empathy tuned to the subjective assessment of hemiplegic movements. Our findings indicate that imitating the movements of individuals with hemiplegia triggered the affective empathic response and improved the cognitive empathic response toward them. The affective empathic response also linked the subjective assessment to the difficulties of hemiplegia, which was especially modulated by the experience of imitation. Imitating the movements of individuals with disabilities likely encourages empathic capacity from both affective and cognitive aspects, resulting in people with no disabilities precisely feeling what they are feeling.

    Abstract Occupational burnout has become a pervasive problem, especially among medical professionals who are highly vulnerable to burnout. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical professionals have faced greater levels of stress. It is critical to increase our understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms of burnout among medical professionals for the benefit of healthcare systems. Therefore, in this study, we investigated structural brain correlates of burnout severity in medical professionals using a voxel-based morphometric technique. Nurses in active service underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging. Two core dimensions of burnout, namely, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, were assessed using self-reported psychological questionnaires. Levels of emotional exhaustion were found to be negatively correlated with gray matter (GM) volumes in the bilateral ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and left insula. Moreover, levels of depersonalization were negatively correlated with GM volumes in the left vmPFC and left thalamus. Altogether, these findings contribute to a better understanding of the neural mechanisms of burnout and may provide helpful insights for developing effective interventions for medical professionals.
