“…The third task was a relatively novel version of the paired-associate learning rodent touchscreen task [ 27 , 28 ], analogous to the human paired-associate learning touchscreen task [ 29 ]. This task measures hippocampal-dependent visuospatial learning and memory; a complex cognitive process that matures during early development in humans, peaking in pre-adolescence [ 30 ]. Performance on the human version of this task is progressively disrupted in schizophrenia as the illness becomes chronic [ 31 , 32 ], which parallels brain changes in the hippocampus [ 33 ].…”

Between adolescence and adulthood, the brain critically undergoes maturation and refinement of synaptic and neural circuits that shape cognitive processing. Adolescence also represents a vulnerable period for the onset of symptoms in neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders. Despite the wide use of rodent models to unravel neurobiological mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders, there is a surprising paucity of rigorous studies focusing on normal cognitive-developmental trajectories in such models. Here, we sought to behaviorally capture maturational changes in cognitive trajectories during adolescence and into adulthood in male and female mice using distinct behavioral paradigms. C57 BL/6J mice (4.5, 6, and 12 weeks of age) were assessed on three behavioral paradigms: drug-induced locomotor hyperactivity, prepulse inhibition, and a novel validated version of a visuospatial paired-associate learning touchscreen task. We show that the normal maturational trajectories of behavioral performance on these paradigms are dissociable. Responses in drug-induced locomotor hyperactivity and prepulse inhibition both displayed a ‘U-shaped’ developmental trajectory; lower during mid-adolescence relative to early adolescence and adulthood. In contrast, visuospatial learning and memory, memory retention, and response times indicative of motivational processing progressively improved with age. Our study offers a framework to investigate how insults at different developmental stages might perturb normal trajectories in cognitive development. We provide a brain maturational approach to understand resilience factors of brain plasticity in the face of adversity and to examine pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions directed at ameliorating or rescuing perturbed trajectories in neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders.

“…The processes involved in visual short-term recognition memory-related tasks are regulated by a diverse array of complex pathways in the brain and correspond strongly with the visual working memory ( Oakes et al, 2013 ). This neurological domain undergoes significant development during infancy and early childhood, accompanying improvement in both visual attention and perceptual processing ( Buss et al, 2018 , Toornstra, 2019 ). Furthermore, the visual working memory is involved with aspects of overall cognitive functioning, evidenced by its connection with intelligence and academic performance in later life ( Raghubar et al, 2010 , Bull et al, 2008 ).…”

“…This task evaluates the capacity to identify complicated visual patterns after different durations of delay between stimuli (e.g., 0, 4, or 12 s) (Cambridge Cognition Ltd., 2012 ; Toornstra et al, 2020 ). In another version of the DMS test, participants are required to respond to one of 1, 2, 4, or 8 peripheral shapes that match the one present on the center of the screen simultaneously.…”

BackgroundCognitive impairments are prevalent in patients with unipolar and bipolar depressive disorder (UDD and BDD, respectively). Considering the fact assessing cognitive functions is increasingly feasible for clinicians and researchers, targeting these problems in treatment and using them at baseline as predictors of response to treatment can be very informative.MethodIn a naturalistic, retrospective study, data from 120 patients (Mean age: 33.58) with UDD (n = 56) and BDD (n = 64) were analyzed. Patients received 20 sessions of bilateral rTMS (10 Hz over LDLPFC and 1 HZ over RDLPFC) and were assessed regarding their depressive symptoms, sustained attention, working memory, and executive functions, using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery Cambridge, at baseline and after the end of rTMS treatment course. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) and logistic regression were used as the main statistical methods to test the hypotheses.ResultsFifty-three percentage of all patients (n = 64) responded to treatment. In particular, 53.1% of UDD patients (n = 34) and 46.9% of BDD patients (n = 30) responded to treatment. Bilateral rTMS improved all cognitive functions (attention, working memory, and executive function) except for visual memory and resulted in more modulations in the working memory of UDD compared to BDD patients. More improvements in working memory were observed in responded patients and visual memory, age, and sex were determined as treatment response predictors. Working memory, visual memory, and age were identified as treatment response predictors in BDD and UDD patients, respectively.ConclusionBilateral rTMS improved cold cognition and depressive symptoms in UDD and BDD patients, possibly by altering cognitive control mechanisms (top-down), and processing negative emotional bias.
