“…In comparison to HC and naMCI, participants with aMCI were less accurate in recognizing the emotion of all categories of presented facial stimuli ( McCade et al, 2018 ). The result of poorer performance in emotion recognition among individuals with aMCI has been replicated in another independent study introducing a computer-based emotion recognition test for older adults (HC = 69; AD = 84; and aMCI = 59), where the processing speed score from the Affect-GRADIOR test has been reported to slightly improve the predictive power of the MMSE ( García-Casal et al, 2019 ; for an excellent review on emotion recognition and processing in MCI patients refer to Morellini et al, 2022 ).…”

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), representing the ‘transitional zone’ between normal cognition and dementia, has become a novel topic in clinical research. Although early detection is crucial, it remains logistically challenging at the same time. While traditional pen-and-paper tests require in-depth training to ensure standardized administration and accurate interpretation of findings, significant technological advancements are leading to the development of procedures for the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and facilitating the diagnostic process. Some of the diagnostic protocols, however, show significant limitations that hamper their widespread adoption. Concerns about the social and economic implications of the increasing incidence of AD underline the need for reliable, non-invasive, cost-effective, and timely cognitive scoring methodologies. For instance, modern clinical studies report significant oculomotor impairments among patients with MCI, who perform poorly in visual paired-comparison tasks by ascribing less attentional resources to novel stimuli. To accelerate the Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia 2017–2025, this work provides an overview of research on saccadic and exploratory eye-movement deficits among older adults with MCI. The review protocol was drafted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Electronic databases were systematically searched to identify peer-reviewed articles published between 2017 and 2022 that examined visual processing in older adults with MCI and reported gaze parameters as potential biomarkers. Moreover, following the contemporary trend for remote healthcare technologies, we reviewed studies that implemented non-commercial eye-tracking instrumentation in order to detect information processing impairments among the MCI population. Based on the gathered literature, eye-tracking-based paradigms may ameliorate the screening limitations of traditional cognitive assessments and contribute to early AD detection. However, in order to translate the findings pertaining to abnormal gaze behavior into clinical applications, it is imperative to conduct longitudinal investigations in both laboratory-based and ecologically valid settings.

“…For instance, individuals with AD display impaired identification of negative facial emotions, inconsistent emotional memory benefit ( Brueckner and Moritz, 2009 ; Klein-Koerkamp et al, 2012 ; Mistridis et al, 2013 ; Cárdenas et al, 2021 ), and inconsistent positivity effect ( Goodkind et al, 2015 ; Zhang et al, 2015 ). People with MCI exhibit impaired negative emotion recognition in people with MCI ( Elferink et al, 2015 ; Morellini et al, 2022 ); and those with SCD show altered facial emotion processing( Perez et al, 2022 ) and emotion dysregulation ( Mah et al, 2021 ). Further, anxiety represents a risk factor of cognitive decline in the elderly ( Pietrzak et al, 2012 ; Santabárbara et al, 2020 ; Gracia-García et al, 2023 ).…”

IntroductionOlder adults experience less anxiety. We examined how memory of negative emotional images varied with age and may reflect age-related differences in anxiety.MethodsFifty-one adults, age 22-80 years, underwent imaging with a memory task where negative and neutral images were displayed pseudo-randomly. They were queried post-scan about the images inter-mixed with an equal number of images never displayed. Sensitivity (d’) and reporting bias (Z-score of false alarm rate; Z[FAR]) were quantified with signal detection theory.ResultsAge was negatively correlated with both Spielberg State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) state score and d’ (negative – neutral) and positively with Z[FAR] (negative – neutral). However, STAI score and d’ or Z[FAR] (negative – neutral) were not significantly correlated. In whole-brain regression, STAI score was correlated with higher activity of the right middle/superior temporal gyri/temporal parietal junction (MTG/STG/TPJ) for “negative correct – incorrect” – “neutral correct – incorrect” trials. Further, the MTG/STG/TPJ activity (β) was also negatively correlated with age. Mediation analyses supported a complete mediation model of age → less anxiety → less MTG/STG/TPJ β.DiscussionTogether, the findings demonstrated age-related changes in negative emotional memory and how age-related reduction in anxiety is reflected in diminished temporoparietal cortical activities during encoding of negative emotional memory.

“…prevalence in MCI as past literature have suggested that these impairments are correlated with isolation, difficulties in interpersonal relationships, higher levels of depression (Chiu et al, 2006;Liu et al, 2022), and psychological and behavior disturbances (Shimokawa et al, 2001). However, these associations remain unclear as a recent systematic review found conflicts between the literature -some studies reported emotion-specific impairments in MCI individuals, whilst others did not find any differences between MCI and normal controls (Morellini et al, 2022).…”

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) have been extensively studied in dementia than its prodromal stage, known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A scientometric study on BPSD in MCI would be valuable in synthesizing the existing body of research and provide insights into the trends, networks, and influencers within this area. We searched for related literature in the Web of Science database and extracted complete text and citation records of each publication. The primary objective was to map the research evolution of BPSD in MCI and highlight dominant research themes. The secondary objective was to identify research network characteristics (authors, journals, countries, and institutions) and abundances. A total of 12,369 studies published between 1980 to 2022 were included in the analysis. We found 51 distinct clusters from the co-cited reference network that were highly credible with significant modularity (Q = 0.856) and silhouette scores (S = 0.932). Five major research domains were identified: symptoms, diagnosis, brain substrates, biochemical pathways, and interventions. Within recent years, the research focus in this area is on gut microbiota, e-health, COVID-19, cognition, and delirium. Collectively, findings from this scientometric analysis can help clarify the scope and direction of future research and clinical practices.
