Insight and psychosis: the next 30 years
Academic interest in the concept of insight in psychosis has increased markedly over the past 30 years, prompting this selective appraisal of the current state of the art. Considerable progress has been made in terms of measurement and confirming a number of clinical associations. More recently, the relationship between insight and involuntary treatment has been scrutinised more closely alongside the link between decision-making capacity and insight. Advances in the clinical and cognitive neurosciences have influenced conceptual development, particularly the field of ‘metacognition’. New therapies, including those that are psychologically and neurophysiologically based, are being tested as ways to enhance insight.

Acacia. Book one, The war with the Mein

Long covid: research must guide future management
Bodies including the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), the Scottish Intercollegiate guidelines network (SIGN), the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US have all attempted to operationally define persistent symptoms and disability after acute covid-19 illness.3 I think the term used by NICE—post-covid-19 syndrome—is a reasonable starting point. Because there is no accompanying positive explanation for the symptoms, this is perceived as implying, “it’s not real” or somehow worse, that “it’s all in your mind.” Emerging evidence suggests that long-covid is as likely to follow mild and even unconfirmed infection as severe illness requiring hospitalisation and respiratory support, although population-based studies on non-hospitalised cases are required to complete the picture.4 New preliminary data suggest that people admitted to hospital with covid-19 who reported long covid symptoms had made only limited improvement after a full year.5 The demographic risk factors for covid-19 illness: age, male sex, ethnic minority status, underlying medication conditions, etc., do not seem to apply to post-covid syndrome.6 This all points to the need to improve our understanding of post-covid syndrome.

Emotion-Motion Interactions in Conversion Disorder: An fMRI Study
To evaluate the neural correlates of implicit processing of negative emotions in motor conversion disorder (CD) patients.
An event related fMRI task was completed by 12 motor CD patients and 14 matched healthy controls using standardised stimuli of faces with fearful and sad emotional expressions in comparison to faces with neutral expressions. Temporal changes in the sensitivity to stimuli were also modelled and tested in the two groups.
We found increased amygdala activation to negative emotions in CD compared to healthy controls in region of interest analyses, which persisted over time consistent with previous findings using emotional paradigms. Furthermore during whole brain analyses we found significantly increased activation in CD patients in areas involved in the 'freeze response' to fear (periaqueductal grey matter), and areas involved in self-awareness and motor control (cingulate gyrus and supplementary motor area).
In contrast to healthy controls, CD patients exhibited increased response amplitude to fearful stimuli over time, suggesting abnormal emotional regulation (failure of habituation / sensitization). Patients with CD also activated midbrain and frontal structures that could reflect an abnormal behavioral-motor response to negative including threatening stimuli. This suggests a mechanism linking emotions to motor dysfunction in CD.

Drivers of AI–Sustainability: The Roles of Financial Wealth, Human Capital, and Renewable Energy
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly central to sustainable development, yet its advancement varies across G7 economies. This study employs Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR) to examine how Financial Technology (FinTech), Economic Growth (EG), Human Capital (HC), and Renewable Energy Consumption (RENC) influence AI development in G7 countries from 2000 to 2022. By analyzing heterogeneous effects across quantiles, the study captures stage-specific drivers often overlooked in average-based models. Results indicate that FinTech and human capital significantly promote AI adoption in lower and middle quantiles, enhancing digital inclusion and innovation capacity, while RENC becomes relevant primarily at advanced stages of AI adoption. Economic growth exhibits negative or inconsistent effects, suggesting that GDP expansion alone is insufficient for technological transformation without alignment to supportive policies and institutional contexts. The lack of long-run cointegration further highlights the dominance of short- and medium-term dynamics in shaping the AI–sustainability nexus. These findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, emphasizing targeted FinTech development, skill-building initiatives, and renewable-powered AI solutions to foster sustainable and inclusive AI adoption. Overall, the study demonstrates how financial, human, and environmental factors jointly drive AI development, offering a mechanism-based perspective on technology-driven sustainable development in advanced economies.
