ConclusionThis small double‐blind study suggests that adjunctive treatment with quetiapine SR may be a useful addition to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor therapy in women with PMS/PMDD by reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.

The effects of alcohol on the recognition of facial expressions and microexpressions of emotion: enhanced recognition of disgust and contempt
ConclusionAlcohol can increase sensitivity to expressions of disgust and contempt. Such effects are not dependent on stimulus duration up to 400 ms and may reflect contextual modulation of alcohol's effects on emotion recognition. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Persistent benefits of slow titration of paroxetine in a six‐month follow‐up
ConclusionsDespite some limitations, these findings suggest that paroxetine treatment should be started at lower doses in older depressed patients and slowly up‐titrated. This strategy would allow to increase antidepressant response and the likelihood of completing treatment cycle in patients with high anxiety levels and GAD comorbidity.

Levodopa enhances explicit new‐word learning in healthy adults: a preliminary study
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that dopamine boosts initial lexical acquisition and enhances longer‐term consolidation of words learnt with semantic information, consistent with dopaminergic enhancement of semantic salience.

Reduced memory skills and increased hair cortisol levels in recent Ecstasy/MDMA users: significant but independent neurocognitive and neurohormonal deficits
ConclusionsRecreational Ecstasy is associated with increased levels of the bio‐energetic stress hormone cortisol and significant memory impairments. No significant relationship between cortisol and the cognitive deficits was observed. Ecstasy users did display evidence of a metacognitive deficit, with the strength of the correlations between objective and subjective memory performances being significantly lower in the Ecstasy users.

The use of ketamine as an antidepressant: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionsSingle ketamine infusions elicit a significant antidepressant effect from 4 h to 7 days; the small number of studies at 12–14 days post infusion failed to reach significance. Results suggest a discrepancy in peak response time depending upon primary diagnosis — 24 h for MDD and 7 days for BD. The majority of published studies have used pre–post comparison; further placebo‐controlled studies would help to clarify the effect of ketamine over time. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
