“…These included the Oktem Auditory Verbal Learning Test (for memory domain), Forward and Backward Digit Span (for simple and complex attention), Trail Making Test (TMT) (for executive functioning and attention), Stroop (for psychomotor speed and executive functions), Phonemic and Semantic Fluency, and Clock Drawing (CDT) (visuospatial) tests were used. All tests were standardized for Turkish; z ‐scores were used (Cangöz et al., 2006, 2013 ; Karakaş et al., 1999 ; Sezgi̇ et al., 2017 ; Tanör, 2011 ). Psinorm was used to calculate the norm values and organize the neuropsychology database (Ayhan et al., 2022 ).…”

ObjectivesThe definition and assessment methods for subjective cognitive decline (SCD) vary among studies. We aimed to investigate which features or assessment methods of SCD best predict Alzheimer's disease (AD)‐related structural atrophy patterns.MethodsWe assessed 104 individuals aged 55+ with memory complaints but normal cognitive screening. Our research questions were as follows: To improve the prediction of AD related morphological changes, (1) Would the use of a standardized cognitive screening scale be beneficial? (2) Is conducting a thorough neuropsychological evaluation necessary instead of relying solely on cognitive screening tests? (3) Should we apply SCD‐plus research criteria, and if so, which criterion would be the most effective? (4) Is it necessary to consider medical and psychiatric comorbidities, vitamin deficiencies, vascular burden on MRI, and family history? We utilized Freesurfer to analyze cortical thickness and regional brain volume meta‐scores linked to AD or predicting its development. We employed multiple linear regression models for each variable, with morphology as the dependent variable.ResultsAD‐like morphology was associated with subjective complaints in males, individuals with advanced age, and higher education. Later age of onset for complaints, complaints specifically related to memory, excessive deep white matter vascular lesions, and using medications that have negative implications for cognitive health (according to the Beers criteria) were predictive of AD‐related morphology. The subjective cognitive memory questionnaire scores were found to be a better predictor of reduced volumes than a single‐question assessment. It is important to note that not all SCD‐plus criteria were evaluated in this study, particularly the APOE genotype, amyloid, and tau status, due to resource limitations.ConclusionsThe detection of AD‐related structural changes is impacted by demographics and assessment methods. Standardizing SCD assessment methods can enhance predictive accuracy.

“…A psychologist applied the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R) ( 32 ) for the participants between the ages of 9-16 and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R) ( 33 ) for the participants after the age of 16. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans were obtained in the same week and the same psychiatrist escorted the participants until all procedures end.…”

Objective Sexual abuse (SA) is known for its effects on brain structures in adolescents. We aimed to explore if SA has any effect on limbic and prefrontal cortex (PFC) structures. We hypothesized that children with SA would have a thinner PFC with larger amygdala and hippocampus that lead to aberrations in threat detection, orientation and response circuit; that would be highly adaptive in a dangerous environment in the short term. Method We included 57 SA and 33 healthy control (HC) female participants. In addition to psychiatric evaluation, we acquired 3 T MR images from all participants. We compared prefrontal cortical thicknesses, hippocampus and amygdala volumes between groups. Results The age and education levels of study groups were matched, however, IQ scores and socioeconomic status (SES) scores of the SA group were lower than the controls. Total CTQ scores of the SA group were higher than the HC. Nevertheless, the mean value of sexual abuse scores was above the cut-off scores only for the SA participants. SA participants had larger right and left hippocampus and right amygdala volumes than the controls. SA group had reduced inferior frontal gyrus cortical thickness (T=3.5, p<0.01, cluster size=694 mm2, x=51 y=-30 z=6) than HC group. None of the structural findings were correlated with total or sexual abuse CTQ scores. Conclusion Children with SA history has structural abnormalities in threat detection, orientation and response circuit. SA victims with no psychiatric diagnosis have a high probability of psychiatric problems with a possible contribution of these aberrations. SA cases that do not have a diagnosis must not be overlooked as they may have structural changes in emotion related brain regions. Careful follow-up is needed for all of all SA cases.

“…The WAIS-R [36] has outstanding reliability values for all the subscales and the combined test scores (0,96, 0,93, and 0,97). Sezgin and colleagues [31] standardized the WAIS-R into Turkish and reported proper reliability and validity coefficients for the Turkish version. We obtained Adam's WAIS-R profile that he completed on May 28th, 2019 at the state hospital when he was diagnosed with PDD.…”

The current study is the first detailed report on a savant case in Turkey. We collected data from a 25-year-old-male savant on attention span, short-term memory, working memory, autobiographical memory, overall intelligence, reading speed, text interpretation, and advanced calendar calculation. Data collection tools included the Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (4th edition), Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised, Stanford-Binet 5 Working Memory Test and Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices for assessing general intellectual functioning; the Verbal Short-Term Memory Test for assessing memory assessment; d2 for assessing attention; a structured reading text; family interview protocols; and an individual interview protocol. The savant has a composite intellectual level of 85 and was recently diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder when he was 25 years old. He evidenced limited attention span but excellent short-term memory, working memory, autobiographical memory and calendar calculation.
