The neuropsychiatric sequelae of traumatic brain injury are effects on complex aspect of cognition, emotion and behavior. They include problems with attention and arousal, concentration, executive function, intellectual changes, memory inpairments, personality changes, affective disorders, anxiety disorders, psychosis, apathy, aggression, and irritability. There are many useful therapeutic approaches available for people who have been brain injuries. Although a multifactioral, multidisciplinary, collaborative approach to treatment is proposed, for purposes of exposition the author have divided treatment into psychopharmacological, cognitive, behavioral, psychological, and social interventions.

목적 : 대표적인 motor neuron disease(MND)이면서 가장 치명적인 신경퇴행성 질환인 ALS의 발생 양상과 한방치료효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 방법: 상지대학교 부속 한방병원에 래원한 ALS 환자들의 성별, 연령, 발병일, 발병양상, 래원 당시의 병태양상 등을 분석하였고, 이 중 3개월 이상 입원치료를 통하여 치료과정 평가가 가능하였던 18명의 환자들의 치료 전과 치료 후의 변화양상을 평가하였다. 결과 : 외국의 보고에 비하여 여성 환자가 많았고 발병 연령도 유의하게 낮았으며 상지에서 최초의 증상이 발현되는 비율이 상대적으로 높았다. Bulbar From의 비율도 높았고, 대부분의 환자가 여성인 것도 특이하였다. 환자들이 생각하는 질병의 발생원인 중 약 80%가 stress나 정신적 충격 등을 지적하여 정신적 불안상태가 유관함을 추정할 수 있었다. 한방치료가 ALS를 호전시키지는 못하였으나 진행을 억제하였고, 국소적인 주소증을 완화시키며 심리적 안정 상태를 유지하는데 도움이 된다고 평가되었다.

This paper first reviewed the definition, criteria, and neurological theories concerning the etiology of AD/HD, and the empirical studies dealing with the comorbidity of AD/HD with other psychiatric disorders. Secondly, results of studies using various neuropsychological tests for assessing the cognitive and behavioral problems in AD/HD children were examined, which suggest the possibility that dysfunction may exist in neural pathways involving many areas of the brain in AD/HD. However, because most of neuropsychological test used in Korea for ADHD children had been developed abroad, further study involving AD/HD, normal control, and other psychiatric control groups is needed to obtain developmental norms for interpreting the results, and to make more accurate diagnosis, and to clarify comorbidity of AD/HD with other disorders.

실세계에서 일어나는 문제는 매우 복잡하고 다양하기 때문에 예측하기가 어렵고 다양한 상황들이 발생한다. 특히, 소비자의 구매에 따르는 행동을 분석하고 소비자의 다양한 기호를 예측하기 위해서는 구매자의 심리적 요인과 내적 요인이 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. 이러한 요인들은 직접적인 정보 처리가 어렵기 때문에 정보의 불확실성을 취급하는 기술이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 상품 구매에 따르는 소비자의 구매행동 패턴을 분석하기 위해 판매자의 노하우와 소비자의 구매의식을 조사하여 이 데이터를 바탕으로 베이지안 네트워크를 구성하고 구매패턴을 분류하는 방법을 제안하였다. 특히, 베이지안 네트워크를 이용하여 불필요한 속성을 가진 데이터를 제거한 후 코호넨의 SOM을 이용하여 소비자의 구매 패턴을 분류하도록 하였다.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of Mindfulness & Loving Beingness (M&L) psychotherapy combined with traditional Korean medicine in treating acute sleep disorders in patients hospitalized following traffic accidents. Methods: We applied traditional Korean medicine treatments in conjunction with various mindfulness meditation techniques from M&L therapy, including Resource Mindfulness and Nourishment Brief Therapy. This study was conducted on three patients who reported acute sleep disorder symptoms on the first day of hospitalization following a traffic accident. The effectiveness of these interventions was assessed using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5-K), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). Results: ISI and PCL-5-K scores showed significant improvements after treatment, indicating reduced sleep disturbances and stress symptoms. Additionally, EQ-5D and PGIC scores were enhanced, reflecting an overall improvement in quality of life. Conclusions: This study suggests that integrating M&L therapy with traditional Korean medicine could significantly improve symptoms in patients with acute sleep disorders following traffic accidents.

Swallowing disorders or dysphagia, which are difficulties with the act of swallowing, can occur at different phases such as oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal phase in the swallowing process. These disorders can be caused by structural, functional abnormalities or psychological problems. Dentists can actively provide patients suffering from dysphagia with comprehensive professional care, especially from the cognitive stage of food to the pharyngeal stage of the swallow. Many cases of dysphagia can be improved with careful managements based on dental professionals' knowledge, including meticulous evaluation of masticatory and swallowing functions, training on eating and swallowing, and fabrication of palatal or lingual augmentation prosthesis. The important thing is that prevention of these disorders through the oral health care instruction and planned follow-up dental visit at periodic intervals in order to manage the problems caused by anatomical, functional, and psychological reason.

Psychophysiologists are often interested in the EEG signals that accompany certain psychological events. When one is interested in a time series of event-related changes in EEG, one focuses on examining how the waveforms recorded at individual electrode sites vary over time across one or more experimental conditions. This is an analysis of event-related potentials (ERPs). In addition to such a classical EEG analysis in the time domain, the EEG measures can be investigated in the frequency domain. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that spectral analyses can often yield significant insight into the functional cognitive correlations of the signals. Therefore, this review paper tries to summarize essential concepts (e.g. phase-locking) and conventional methods (e.g. wavelet transformation) for understanding spectral analyses of brain oscillatory activity. Phase-coherence is also introduced in relation to functional connectivity of the brain.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the combined intervention of occupation-based intervention and computerized cognitive rehabilitation treatment affects the psychosocial function, cognitive function, and depression of stroke patients. 23 stroke patients were divided into experimental group(n=11) and a control group(n=12), and the experimental group and the control group received CoTras for 4 weeks and 30 minutes each, and additionally the experimental group received task-based intervention for 30 minutes before the start of CoTras. It was conducted 20 times for a total of 4 weeks. Self-efficacy scale, stress scale, depression scale, neurobehavioral cognitive status examination were used. As a result of the study, the experimental group showed significant improvement in improvement of self-efficacy, stress, and depression than the control group, and the experimental group showed a small effect difference in magnitude of effect from the control group in cognitive function. Based on this study, it is possible to utilize the simultaneous task-based intervention with CoTras to improve psychosocial function, depression and cognitive function in stroke patients.

This paper aims to examine how proprioception provides a sense of ownership over one's body and physical actions. Proprioception is a sense that relies on somatic interoceptors rather than exteroceptors that receive external stimuli and has epistemic importance of knowing the presence, location, and movement of bodily parts. In this paper, I will argue that Shoemaker's principle, "Immunity to Error through Misidentification (IEM)" can be applied to proprioception by focusing on one of the intrinsic features of proprioception: First-Person Perspective. I will advocate the following two arguments by defeating each of Marcel's pathological counter-examples in turn. Proprioception is infallible in that it provides a sense of ownership over one's body and physical actions. Second, proprioception is indispensable for the sense of ownership of one's body and physical actions.

Traumatic Brain Injury(TBI) of any severity can result in broad and persisting biopsychosocial sequelae. Depression after TBI occur at a greater frequency than in the general population, with estimates approaching 25% to 50% for major depression, and 155 to 30% for dysthmia. Acute onset depressions are related to lesion location and may have their etiology in biological response of the injured brain, whereas delayed onset depressions may be mediated by psychosocial factors, suggesting psychological reactions as a possible mechanism. Anxious depressions are associated with right hemisphere lesions, whereas major depressions alone are associated with left dorsolateral frontal and left basal ganglia lesions. However, there is insufficient information to postulate a specific neuroanatomic model for TBI-related depression.
