Drugs April 1, 2026 Martha S. Rosenthal
This chapter examines the pharmacology, effects, and history of stimulants, focusing on cocaine, amphetamines, MDMA, and other related substances. Cocaine plays a significant role as a medical marvel and recreational drug, available in forms such as powder and crack, which differ in potency and methods of use. Amphetamines, initially praised for their therapeutic benefits, gain attention for...

Ketamine is a well-established anesthetic agent that is gaining increasing recognition for its diverse therapeutic applications, including the management of chronic pain, refractory status epilepticus, major depressive disorder, and suicidality. Although it has been used clinically since the 1960s, multiple clinical trials with ketamine and esketamine in adults and pediatric populations are...
Cureus April 1, 2026 Pouya Azar, James Wong, Mohammadali Nikoo et al.
Developing and evaluating non-pharmacological treatments is critical for optimizing pain management and reducing dependence on opioids, as well as mitigating opioid-induced adverse effects. One promising approach involves the use of virtual reality (VR)- and augmented reality (AR)-guided mindfulness techniques. We examined the clinical utility of the Mindfulness app on the Apple Vision Pro...
Journal of Analytical Psychology April 1, 2026 Kan Chen, Xiao You
Abstract This study explores spiritual experiences in online video games and dreams from the perspective of analytical psychology, focusing on how such experiences activate the archetype of initiation in adolescents. Method: The present study adopted a Jungian psychological perspective to analyse symbols and psychological processes emerging in dreams that occurred after interaction with video...

Serotonin transporter gene polymorphism is important in the regulation of the serotoninergic system that affects mood and the regulation of emotions and behavior. In this study, 128 channel electroencephalogram recordings were performed, and buccal epithelium samples were obtained from 53 volunteers (32 females). La , Lg , and S alleles were identified by polymerase chain reaction. The aim of...
International Journal of Versatile Research and Analysis April 1, 2026 Le Hong Linh, Nguyen Thi Nhien Trang
The discussion of ethics, emotional health and meaningful work has never been so urgent in a fast-moving economic transformation and growing pressures of professional life in modern Vietnam. Drawing on the ancient lineages of Theravāda and Mahāyāna Buddhism, Vietnamese Buddhism provides a rich and ambivalent site by which to engage with these foundational questions through the synthesis of...
Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being April 1, 2026 Petra Jansen, Sabine Hoja, Lea Cassar et al.
These days, students experience a significant amount of stress at university. According to the planetary health concept, internal transformative qualities, such as connectedness, may be essential for enhancing individual well-being and promoting sustainable behaviour. This randomised controlled study investigated whether online mindfulness training can enhance well-being and connectedness. One...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) April 1, 2026 Thomas A. Ryan 8 citations preprint
The engineering of consciousness preservation (whether through whole-brain emulation, cryonic revival, or brain-computer interfaces) proceeds largely without reference to theories of consciousness. This is a remarkable omission. The choice of what must be preserved in a brain depends entirely on what generates consciousness, and the major theories disagree on this question by many orders of...
Trends in Cognitive Sciences April 1, 2026 Ned Block
Computational functionalism claims that executing certain computations is sufficient for consciousness, regardless of the physical mechanisms implementing those computations. This view neglects a compelling alternative: that subcomputational biological mechanisms, which realize computational processes, are necessary for consciousness. By contrasting computational roles with their...
Entropy (Basel, Switzerland) April 1, 2026 Kelvin J. McQueen, Ian T. Durham, Markus P Müller
Could there be quantum superpositions of conscious states, as suggested by the Wigner's friend thought experiment? Mathematical theories of consciousness, notably integrated information theory (IIT), make this question more precise by associating physical systems with both quantitative amounts of consciousness and structural characterizations of conscious states. Motivated by a recent proposal...
