[In the Laboratory of Systems Neuroscience of the Institute of Experimental Medicine, our main objective is the better understanding of the brain mechanisms of cognitive functions. We investigate the nervous system basis of learning, memory, attention and decision-making not only in normal conditions but also in pathological ones, especially concerning the neurodegenerative dementias such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Our main profile is conducting animal studies, but we carry out human research too in collaboration with clinical partners. We analyse multichannel, i.e. multidimensional electrophysiological signals using both classical and modern statistical methods and new and powerful machine learning algorithms.
This study presents the activity of our team, while focusing on artificial intelligence applications.

[This opinion for starting a debate reviews the evidence available about specific cardiovascular prevention strategies. It draws attention to the documented limitations of preventive screenings, and the proven effectiveness of lifestyle interventions in confirmed cases. It highlights the fact that the efficient support of lifestyle changing as a preventive strategy should be more emphasized since controlling the 21st century’s civilizational diseases decisive in terms of public health can only be achieved by a balanced activity.]

Atrial fibrilla- tion diagnosed after stroke (AFDAS) is a new term used for AF resulting from autonomic dysregulation. It is associated with a lower stroke recurrence compared to patients with known AF before a stroke (KAF). The aim of the study was to explore the characteristics and mortality rates in AFDAS patients. 134 ischemic stroke patients (66.1±14.2 years old, n=73 male) were consecutively included in the study.
Clinical Neuroscience
Stigma is a widespread phenomenon in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and has been shown to affect the quality of life of individuals. This study aims to assess the level of stigma and identify the factors contributing to stigma in patients with PD in Turkey. A total of 142 patients diagno¬sed with PD between June 2022 and March 2023 were included in the study. Sociodemographic data were collected using a sociodemographic information form.
Clinical Neuroscience
Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, frequently result in mood disorders among affected individuals. It is established that neuropathic pain arising from traumatic neuropathies is also linked to mood disorders. This study investigates the influence of neuropathic pain on the development of mood disorders in earthquake survivors with peripheral nerve injuries, following the earthquake centered in Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023.

[The purpose of the study is to find correlations between sarcopenia, falls, falls and social isolation in the elderly population.
This study chose a genre of literature review, in which seven articles were analyzed.
Weakness, falls and social isolation are closely related, which is also supported by statistical calculations.
The results of the literature review will help all professionals working in the care of the elderly to understand how different geriatric complex conditions are related to each other.]

[Pain intensity is the most frequently assessed health domain in clinical studies among patients with low-back pain. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Numeric rating scale (NRS) have been the mostly used measurement tools for pain intensity. We proposed to correlate these instruments to a generic health-related quality of life measurement tool in order to show the scale with superior clinical relevance.
We used cross-sectional, convenience sampling. 120 patients with chronic low-back pain administered the 29-item Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Profile with NRS included, and the VAS scale in the National Institute of Mental Health, Neurology and Neurosurgery. We determined the correlation between PROMIS domain T-scores and VAS and NRS scores.
We performed Spearman rank correlation test to calculate the correlation coefficient. We found VAS scales measuring pain had weak to moderate correlations with all PROMIS health domains (r = 0.24–0.55). Therefore, we compared correlation of PROMIS domain scores with PROMIS pain intensity numeric rating scale and VAS scales. PROMIS domains had moderate to strong correlations with pain intensity scale (r = 0.45–0.71). PROMIS physical function short form [r = –0.65, 95% CI (–0.75) – (–0.55)] and PROMIS pain interference short form (r = 0.71, 95% CI 0.63 – 0.79) had the strongest correlation with pain intensity item.
NRS has showed greater correlation with PROMIS domain T-scores than VAS scale. This may prove that NRS has greater connection to another health domains, thus it correlated more to health-related quality of life than visual scale. We recommend NRS to use in further clinical studies conducted among patients with low-back pain.]
