Turkish Title : Evaluation of the Coexistence of Attention‑Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Anxiety Disorder Symptoms
Zengin Eroğlu Meliha,Gözde Luş Melek
JNBS, 2022, 9(2), p:39-45
Aim: Attention‑deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and its etiology
of it has not been fully elucidated yet. We tried to evaluate the familial aspects of anxiety disorders and
ADHD in this study. Materials and Methods: Our study group comprised 128 parents aged between
24 and 60 years (114 mothers and 14 fathers) of 128 children with diagnosis of ADHD (n = 47), anxiety
disorders (n = 30), and ADHD + anxiety disorders (n = 51) who had been evaluated by the department
of child and adolescent psychiatry. Findings of anxiety disorders and ADHD were evaluated in
accordance with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual‑V Criteria. Beck Anxiety Inventory, Wender Utah
Rating Scale (WURS), and Turgay’s Adult Attention‑Deficit Disorder (ADD)/ADHD Diagnosis and
Evaluation Scale were applied to parents. Results: Anxiety levels, WURS, and Turgay’s Adult ADD/
ADHD Diagnosis and Evaluation Scale points did not be differentiated between groups. 16.7% (n = 5)
of ADHD + anxiety, 6.4% of ADHD (n = 3), and 9.8% (n = 5) of anxiety group of parents were
high‑degree ADD/ADHD (+). Conclusion: Our study results show that there are some familial features
of ADHD and anxiety disorders. Considering the relationship between these two disorders during the
psychiatric care of children as well as their parents is deeply important for clinicians.

Mental Health Status of Caregivers of Persons with Neurological Disability
Turkish Title : Mental Health Status of Caregivers of Persons with Neurological Disability
Pallerla Srikanth,Parthasarathy Nirmala Berigai
JNBS, 2022, 9(2), p:46-50
Introduction: Neurological conditions have a long‑term impact on the individual and their family
and also affect one’s general and mental health. Materials and Methods: This cross‑sectional
study aimed to assess the psychological morbidity among 50 primary caregivers of persons with
a neurological disability and was conducted using a self‑reporting questionnaire. Results: Most
of them were female (64.0%), and predominantly, the caregiver was mother (50.0%). Most of the
caregivers have reported felt nervous, tense, or worried during hospitalization (76.0%); felt unhappy
during caregiving (86.0%); and faced difficulty to enjoy daily activities (74.0%). In addition to that,
(98.0%) caregiver’s have reported that their day to day work suffered, (70.0%) were unable to play a
usual part in life. Conclusion: The study would highlight the need for screening the mental health of
the caregivers of persons with neurological disabilities.

The Effects of Flavonoids in Curcumin on Neurobehavioral Deficits in Insulin‑resistant Rats
Turkish Title : The Effects of Flavonoids in Curcumin on Neurobehavioral Deficits in Insulin‑resistant Rats
Abiodun Mohammed Abdullahi,Busayo Akinola Oluwole
JNBS, 2022, 9(2), p:51-57
Background: Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for dementia, particularly Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
In a Wistar rat model, we studied Alzheimer‑like symptoms using a high‑fat diet (HFD) and
streptozotocin (STZ) to replicate insulin resistance and the resulting neurobehavioral abnormalities.
Curcumin, a flavonoid in turmeric, was studied for its potential therapeutic effects. Aim: This
study sought to look at the exploratory, discriminatory, and spatial cognitive indices in rats.
Materials and Methods: Thirty‑six male Wistar rats were randomized into six groups and given
the following treatments: olive oil only for control; curcumin only for the curcumin group; HFD
and three doses STZ for the diabetic rats; HFD, three doses STZ, and concurrent treatment with
curcumin for the protective group; pretreatment with curcumin, then HFD and three doses STZ for
a preventive group; and HFD, three doses STZ, and curcumin for a therapeutic group. Subsequently,
line and center line crossing frequency assessed rats’ exploratory activities; rearing frequency data
assessed novel environment behavior. The novel object recognition test and Morris water maze test
assessed discrimination and spatial memory. Data were analyzed using one‑way analysis of variance
and Tukey’s post hoc test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Our findings
revealed that insulin resistance prolonged escape latency of untreated diabetic rats; contrariwise,
curcumin significantly reduced escape latency, increased difference score in novel object
recognition paradigm, and increased explorative activities. Conclusion: Oral curcumin improves
exploratory activity, discriminating memory, and spatial memory in male Wistar rats with AD‑like
neurobehavioral impairments. Patients with neurobehavioral abnormalities and comorbid insulin
resistance may benefit from the flavonoids in curcumin.

JNBS, 2022, 9(2), p:58-67
Aim: One of the important factors that cause stress today is aimlessness. Determining the meaning
and purposes of life has an impact on both the mental and physical health of the individual. Two
types of values are mentioned as tool values and purpose values. Measuring the life goals to include
these values is seen as important for determining the life goal skills of individuals. Hence, it is aimed
to measure meaning and purpose and to measure perceptions about it. Materials and Methods: This
study aimed to carry out validity and reliability studies of the Uskudar Life Meaning and Goals
Scale (USLIFE). The sample consisted of 1026 people from Turkey. Factor analysis revealed that the
scale consists of seven factors. Results: The first factor “Abstract Meaning Skill” explains 14.59%
of the variance, the second factor “Skill to Delay of Gratification” 10.31% of the variance, the third
factor “Concrete Meaning Skill” 8.97% of the variance, the fourth factor “Internal Control Skill”
5.53% of the variance, the fifth factor “Medium‑ and Long‑Term Planning Skill” 4.60% of the
variance, the sixth factor “Belief in Death” 4.39% of the variance, and the seventh factor “Ego Ideal
Perception” explains 3.87% of the variance. The seven‑factor structure consisting of 28 items in
total explained 52.28%. In addition, seven factors confirmed the USLIFE in the confirmatory factor
analysis. Goodness‑of‑fit values were found to be acceptable. The Cronbach’s alpha value of the
scale was found to be 0.74. Conclusion: A valid and reliable scale, named “USLIFE,” has emerged.
This scale measures people’s life goals skills and is graded in the five‑point Likert type between
“completely agree” and “never agree.”

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) continues to be a serious public health problem in our country
in the world and has serious effects on the central and peripheral nervous system. HIV‑associated
dementia (HAD), which may develop due to HIV infection, causes subcortical dementia that can
progress with marked slowdown in reaction time and psychomotor speed, impaired cognitive
flexibility, emotional lability, and apathy. Neurocognitive tests are the most appropriate tools for the
neurocognitive assessment and staging of the disease. In this context, the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive
Examinations Revised (ACE‑R) test may be preferred in the neurocognitive evaluation of patients
considered to have HAD, in terms of its repeatability and easy applicability, as it allows us to
evaluate many neurocognitive functions in detail.

Over the years, there has been an increase in research on parkinsonism in basic and translational
neuroscience. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder vehemently
associated with motor function deficits and other unique features collectively called the Parkinsonian
triad, which slightly differs from other movement disorders such as Wilson’s disease, tardive
dyskinesia, chorea, and athetosis. Parkinsonian triad combines three major motor phenotypes of PD
including bradykinesia, rigidity, and resting tremors. Hence, there is a need to review motor deficits
protocols to create a set of behavioral protocols that critically address the parkinsonian triad’s
quantification in PD models. Literature search on Medline and PubMed was conducted to access
the articles on the motor function test in a rodent model of Parkinsonism. Search terms include
parkinsonism, parkinsonian triad, bradykinesia, rigidity, resting tremors, stepping test, parallel bar
test, pole test, and cylinder test. This review shows that bradykinesia characterized by difficulty in
movement initiation could be assessed using a stepping test by measuring stepping length and time
taken to initiate movement on a wooden ramp. It can also be assessed using a parallel bar test by
measuring the time taken to make 90° turn. This turning hesitation is one of the critical features of
akinesia. Rigidity is associated with an increase in muscle tone; it is assessed by using a pole test to
measure the time taken for the rodent to slide down a smooth pole. Resting tremors is an involuntary,
oscillatory movement of the distal part of the upper limb when not performing an action. It could be
graded using a cylinder test when the rodent suspends its forelimb on the air in an attempt to climb
the wall of the cylinder. In conclusion, the examinations and quantifications of the Parkinsonian triad
are required to diagnose parkinsonism in rodent models.

Turkish Title : The Mind − Brain Problem from the Perspective of Agency
A. ÇENGEL Yunus
JNBS, 2022, 9(1), p:7-16
Abstract
Aim: In this article, it is argued that the elusive mind qualifies as an active agent which works through
the brain rather than the brain creating the subjective mind or acting as the mind itself. Materials and
Methods: This article relies on observation‑based reasoned arguments and thus it is philosophical in
nature. Discussion: We seem to be living in a virtual reality interwoven of subjective experiences of
sights, sounds, tastes, smells, colors, pain, and pleasure, all rendered by the enigmatic mind. The mind
cannot be reduced to physical existence such as the sporadic electrical activity of the brain since no
electrical activity has ever produced such cohesive subjective experience, the same way that the laws
of physics cannot be reduced to matter and energy that comprise the physical existence. Conclusion:
Unlike properties, agencies differ from emergent quantities in that agencies more than passively qualify
matter; they actively control and rule matter. Agencies are characterized by causal power, and thus
the capacity to cause changes. Several agencies can be identified in nature. The agency of physics is
associated with the physical realm and is comprised of the universal laws and forces of physics. Life
qualifies as a purposive agency which is comprised of the laws and influences of life. Even quantum
fields act like virtual mechanisms and thus qualify as active agents associated with the production of
the fundamental particles of physics with a fixed set of properties out of quanta of energy.
