Brain structure, working memory and response inhibition in childhood leukemia survivors
INTRODUCTION Survival rates for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) approach 95%. At the same time, there is growing concern that chemotherapy causes alterations in brain development and cognitive abilities. We performed MRI measurements of white and gray matter volume to explore how variation in brain structure may be related to cognitive abilities in ALL survivors and healthy con...
متن کاملDevelopmental fractionation of working memory and response inhibition during childhood.
The lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) plays a major role in both working memory (WM) and response inhibition (RI), which are fundamental for various cognitive abilities. We explored the relationship between these LPFC functions during childhood development by examining the performance of two groups of children in visuospatial and auditory WM tasks and a go/no-go RI task. In the younger children ...

Background: The increasing incidence of overweight or obesity is a significant health problem. Hence, this study aims to investigate attention inhibition and memory function in obese and normal women. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted from 2017 to 2018 in Ahvaz. A sample of 200 women referred to sports clubs was selected by the convenience sampling method. The tools ...
متن کاملNeural Underpinnings of Working Memory in Adult Survivors of Childhood Brain Tumors.
Adult survivors of childhood brain tumors are at risk for cognitive performance deficits that require the core cognitive skill of working memory. Our goal was to examine the neural mechanisms underlying working memory performance in survivors. We studied the working memory of adult survivors of pediatric posterior fossa brain tumors using a letter n-back paradigm with varying cognitive workload...
