Cognitive Dysfunction and Learning Implications in Medical Students With Depressive Symptoms: Electrophysiological Evidence From P300 Event-Related Potentials

Medical students with depressive symptoms demonstrate specific cognitive impairments and altered event-related potential markers, reflecting reduced attentional efficiency and information processing. Combining computerized neuropsychological testing with electrophysiological measures may provide a feasible screening pathway for cognitive vulnerability among medical trainees and guide the development of preventive and educational interventions within medical curricula.
