“…Bien que nos résultats rejoignent ceux de Garcia-Casal et al [17] avec une amélioration globale des performances de REF suite au TAR, nous notons quelques différences. Leur étude a mis en évidence une amélioration de la reconnaissance de l’expression neutre, surprise et dégoût tandis que nous avons observé une amélioration pour l’expression neutre, tristesse et peur, ces deux dernières émotions étant les plus communément altérées dans la MA [1] , [2] .…”

“…Développée pour des patients schizophrènes, le « training of affect recognition program » (TAR) a montré des résultats positifs sur la REF [16] . Le TAR a récemment été utilisé dans la MA montrant une amélioration globale la REF (en particulier surprise, dégoût et expression neutre), avec un maintien des performances post-remédiation [17] . Une autre étude a démontré que la reconnaissance de la peur peut être améliorée dans la MA lorsque l’attention est orientée sur les yeux [18] .…”

“…For example, it may lead to psycho-education being provided to the patient and their partner, and to patients being trained to better recognise emotions. 22,23 Therefore, investigating whether impaired emotion recognition indeed occurs frequently after ischemic stroke could support existing recommendations to systematically test for impairments of social cognition after ischemic stroke. 18 Moreover, little is known about the way emotion recognition is related to general cognitive functioning shortly after ischemic stroke.…”

Introduction Deficits of emotion recognition after ischemic stroke are often overlooked by clinicians, and are mostly not spontaneously reported by patients. However, impaired emotion recognition after stroke negatively affects the ability to return to work and the quality of life. It is still unknown how often impairments of emotion recognition occur shortly after ischemic stroke. We aimed to estimate the occurrence of impaired emotion recognition after ischemic stroke and to characterise these patients with impaired emotion recognition. Patients and methods Two hundred thirty patients were included, derived from a prospective study of cognitive recovery. Five weeks after ischemic stroke a neuropsychological assessment was performed, including an emotion recognition task (i.e. Ekman 60-faces test). Emotion recognition was regarded as impaired if the total score was below the fifth percentile for a large independent reference sample. Results Emotion recognition was impaired in 33.5% of patients. Patients with impaired emotion recognition were more likely to have an abnormal Montreal Cognitive Assessment during hospitalisation, and 5 weeks after their stroke, a higher proportion of them had a vascular cognitive disorder (VCD). Even 20% of patients without VCD had impaired emotion recognition. Discussion: Emotion recognition was often impaired after ischemic stroke. This is clinically relevant, since impaired emotion recognition negatively impacts social functioning. Conclusion: Even when there was no cognitive disorder in traditional cognitive domains, emotion recognition was impaired in 1 out of 5 patients. Clinicians should systematically ask patients and their caregivers about deficits in emotion recognition, and, if needed, test for these deficits.

“…In line with these results obtained in psychology-based practices, environmental enrichment in caged rats was linked to increases in steroidogenic enzyme expression associated with DHEA production, relative to unstimulated rats of the same age [ 108 ]. Indeed, enrichment therapy is already being employed to treat patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease [ 109 – 113 ], although the authors could not find data on the effect of this strategy on DHEA synthesis.…”

Central intracrine DHEA synthesis in ageing-related neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration: therapeutic potential?

It is a well-known fact that DHEA declines on ageing and that it is linked to ageing-related neurodegeneration, which is characterised by gradual cognitive decline. Although DHEA is also associated with inflammation in the periphery, the link between DHEA and neuroinflammation in this context is less clear. This review drew from different bodies of literature to provide a more comprehensive picture of peripheral vs central endocrine shifts with advanced age—specifically in terms of DHEA. From this, we have formulated the hypothesis that DHEA decline is also linked to neuroinflammation and that increased localised availability of DHEA may have both therapeutic and preventative benefit to limit neurodegeneration. We provide a comprehensive discussion of literature on the potential for extragonadal DHEA synthesis by neuroglial cells and reflect on the feasibility of therapeutic manipulation of localised, central DHEA synthesis.
