Long-term Depression01:03

Long-term Depression

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists

Cognitive enhancers, also known as "smart drugs," are substances used to enhance memory, mental alertness, and concentration. These can be natural or synthetic and improve cognition in conditions like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Some common examples include caffeine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, modafinil, arecoline, donepezil, vortioxetine, and piracetam. These enhancers work on the principle of synaptic plasticity and altered circuit function. They...

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation. For...
Cognitivism01:17

Cognitivism

Cognitive psychology emerged as a significant field in the mid-20th century. It focused on understanding humans' internal mental processes. This approach emphasizes how people perceive, remember, think, and solve problems—elements critical to human cognition.
Previously dominated by behaviorism, which prioritized observable behaviors and largely ignored mental processes, psychology transformed in the 1950s. Cognitive psychologists argue that understanding how we think and process information is...
Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders01:24

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders

Treatment approaches for psychological disorders fall into three main categories: psychological, biological, and sociocultural. Each approach targets different aspects of mental health, requiring varying levels of education and training.
Psychological therapies focus on modifying emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through talking, interpreting, listening, rewarding, challenging, and modeling. Clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers commonly practice psychotherapy. Clinical...
Psychosurgery01:30

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry Education
  • Geriatric Psychiatry

Background:

  • Major neurocognitive disorders (NCDs) represent a growing public health concern.
  • There is a recognized shortage of healthcare providers specializing in NCDs.
  • Current educational strategies for NCDs in psychiatry are not well-defined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of education on major neurocognitive disorders in psychiatry.
  • To identify factors influencing career choices in NCD patient care.
  • To assess educational interventions addressing provider shortages for major NCDs.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review using the Arksey and O'Malley framework.
  • Inclusion of 28 studies on education in geriatric psychiatry, neuropsychiatry, and NCDs.
  • Analysis of learner groups including medical students, residents, and psychiatrists.

Main Results:

  • Positive clinical experiences and effective mentorship influence career choices in geriatric psychiatry.
  • Major NCD topics are taught in most psychiatry rotations and considered important by residency directors.
  • Interventions increase student comfort but not necessarily practice interest; research on resident education is lacking.

Conclusions:

  • Existing research on geriatric and neuropsychiatry education is present.
  • Further research is required to specifically evaluate the education of medical students and psychiatry residents on major neurocognitive disorders.
