Objective To investigate the influence of the liver failing to convey and disperse on space navigation aging.Methods High and low neuroticism subjects screened by Eysenck personality questionnaire were included in liver failing to convey and disperse group and liver controlling conveyance and dispersion group,respectively.The two groups were then divided into youth and elderly groups based on age.Finally,spatial navigation task was conducted to record and analyze behavioral(reaction time and accuracy)and EEG data(amplitude and latency of P2 and N2 components)of all the four groups(30 subjects each group).Results Compared with liver controlling conveyance and dispersion group,the accuracy in subjects with liver failing to convey and disperse decreased significantly(P<0.001)and reaction time was prolonged significantly(P<0.05).The interaction effect between age and liver regulation status showed a marginal significant difference(P=0.078).The accuracy of elderly people was lower than that of youth people(P=0.002)for liver failing to convey and disperse subjects,while there was no significant difference between the two groups for subjects with liver controlling conveyance and dispersion.The P2 amplitude in the elderly group was significantly smaller than that in the youth group(P=0.027).The amplitude of P2 in group of liver failing to convey and disperse was significantly smaller than that in group of liver controlling conveyance and dispersion(P=0.042).The interaction effect of P2 amplitude between age and liver regulation status showed a marginal significance(P=0.073).For youth subjects,the P2 amplitude in group of liver controlling conveyance and dispersion was significantly larger than that in group of liver failing to convey and disperse(P=0.007),while there was no significant difference in P2 amplitude between the two groups for the elderly subjects.The N2 amplitude for tasks of allocentric frames of reference was significantly greater than that of egocentric frames of reference(P=0.024).Conclusion Liver failing to convey and disperse caused by long-term emotional disturbance accelerates spatial navigation aging,and selective attention feature inhibition disorder may be the underlying ERPs neuroelectrophysiological mechanism.

Objective To investigate the influence of the and mechanism of liver failing to convey and disperse on age-related changes in attentional search based on ERPs.Methods oddball attention search task was administrated to record and analyze behavioral and EEG data(N2pc、SPCN、N2pc-Ptc components)of 120 subjects.Results Compared with liver controlling conveyance and dispersion group,the accuracy in subjects with liver failing to convey and disperse decreased significantly(P<0.05).The elderly group had a lower accuracy(P<0.001)and a longer reaction time(P<0.001)compared to the young group.The N2pc amplitude in subjects with liver failing to convey and disperse was significantly greater than that in subjects with liver controlling conveyance and dispersion(P<0.05).The interaction effect of SPCN amplitude between age and liver failing to convey and disperse status was significant(P=0.024).And in the elderly group,SPCN amplitude in subjects with liver dysregulation was significantly smaller than that of liver controlling conveyance and dispersion(P=0.042).The N2pc-Ptc peak to peak amplitude interaction effect between age and liver regulation status was marginal significant(P=0.087),and in liver failing to convey and disperse group,N2pc-Ptc peak to peak amplitude of the elderly was significantly smaller than that of the young(P=0.008).Conclusion Attention search ability is impaired in the elderly with liver failing to convey and disperse,and the electrophysiological abnormalities,such as directed attention allocation,spatiotemporal dynamic cohesion and short-term memory maintenance,may be part of the mechanism.

The concept of "spirit" in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） aligns closely with "the liver governs the designing of strategy". By exploring the relationship between the liver and executive function decline， it is proposed that prolonged liver constraint leads to indecisiveness in strategy designing， which is the initiating factor for executive function decline； liver blood deficiency causes difficulties in executing strategy， which forms an essential foundation for the progression of executive function decline； obstruction in the "liver-du mai-brain" pathway leads to unclear strategy designing， which accelerates executive function decline. This relationship is examined from the perspectives of TCM， modern medicine， and cognitive psychology， aiming to provide insights into addressing executive function decline through treatments focused on the liver.

Objective Using event-related potentials(ERPs),to study the effect and mechanism of negative emotion accumulation hepatic insufficiency on working memory in normal people.Methods Fifty subjects in each of the emotionally stable group and emotionally unstable group were given two load tasks(0-back and 1-back)in the N-back paradigm,the reaction time and correct rate were recorded,and the ERPs components N200 and P300 were detected.The latency and amplitude of P300 were analyzed statistically.Results ①Compared with the emotionally stable group,the emotionally unstable group had a longer reaction time(P<0.05).②Compared with the emotionally stable group,the subjects in the emotionally unstable group had prolonged N200 latency,decreased P300 amplitude significantly(P<0.05),and P300 latency had a tendency to extend(P<0.1).Conclusion Long-term accumulation of negative emotions and liver failure in normal people have the performance of decreased working memory,which may be related to the reduction of attention resource allocation and the impairment of cognitive processing function.
