The subjective experience of patients during catatonic episodes is a relatively neglected area of research. The aims of this study were to contribute empirical data to the literature by assessing catatonic patients' subjective experiences and to explore how patients' subjective experiences vary according to their underlying medical and psychiatric conditions. All 2,281 patients admitted to an...

Introduction The continuing impact of spontaneously recalled dreams sometimes depends upon the same kind of unfolding semantic complexity that literary scholars attribute to poetic literary metaphors. Methods We present the results of two online studies of impactful dreams (i.e., nightmares, existential dreams, and transcendent dreams) that reinforce this account. Results In both Study 1 (N =...

Ten HCPC-registered counselling and clinical psychologists, practising in the UK participated in semi-structured interviews...

The Nested Cosmic Organization Hypothesis (NCOH) proposes that physical reality exhibits a hierarchy of organizational scales — from quantum and molecular systems through cells, organisms, ecosystems, planetary systems, galaxies, and the cosmic web — at which qualitatively distinct macroscopic causal and informational properties can emerge. The refined NCOH makes no claim that larger...

ABSTRACT N,N -dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is an endogenous psychedelic tryptamine that has recently emerged as a promising therapeutic candidate for acute ischemic stroke. Although DMT consistently reduces infarct size, attenuates neuroinflammation, and improves functional outcome in experimental stroke, the cellular and receptor mechanisms underlying these effects remain poorly understood....

Background Disruptions in the gut-brain-microbiota axis are increasingly linked to psychiatric disorders. While cannabinoids possess immunomodulatory and neuroprotective properties, their impact on the microbial architecture during critical neurodevelopmental periods remains poorly understood. This exploratory study investigated whether adolescent treatment with delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol...

This article examines the activation of neural networks in the brain by the meanings of consciousness and the transition to the linguistic modality. Consciousness transmits holographic semantic images to memory through the neural networks of the brain, linking them with the linguistic modality. Meanings (thoughts) activate the linguistic modality through the neural networks of the brain,...

Embodied artificial intelligence typically treats a local chassis moving through the world as the agent's body. This paper proposes Architectural Body Intelligence (ABI), which reverses this spatial relation. In ABI, sensory surfaces distributed across the floor, walls, and ceiling constitute an architectural body, while a small robot or manipulator moving within its cavity intervenes on...

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into athletic training is accelerating, yet its psychological implications for athletes remain insufficiently understood. Drawing on the transactional model of stress and the stress-buffering framework of mindfulness, this study examined whether mindfulness training can mitigate adverse psychological responses associated with AI-assisted training....
