Organizational Structure Reduces Processing Load in the Prefrontal Cortex During Discourse Processing of Written Text: Implications for High-Level Reading Issues After TBI

TL;DR: Cortical activation patterns of unimpaired readers as they are presented with discourse that is varied in terms of structural organization are described and the results suggest reading discourse with less structure is associated with increased cortical activity as compared to read discourse with more traditional structural cues.

Substituting dietary monounsaturated fat for saturated fat is associated with increased daily physical activity and resting energy expenditure

TL;DR: The replacement of dietary PA with OA was associated with increased physical activity and REE and less anger and besides presumed effects on mitochondrial function (increased REE), the dietary PA:OA ratio appears to affect behavior.

Cognitive complaints are associated with smaller right medial temporal gray-matter volume in younger postmenopausal women

TL;DR: The findings of the present study indicate that the level of reported cognitive complaints in postmenopausal women may be associated with reduced gray-matter volume which may beassociated with cortical changes that may increase risk of future cognitive decline.

Dopamine-dependent cognitive processes after menopause: the relationship between COMT genotype, estradiol, and working memory

TL;DR: The data indicate that after menopause COMT genotype and potentially the meno-related changes to the dopaminergic system are not related to cognition, as there appear to be differences in this relationship for premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
