Cognitive Neuroscience Methods in Enhancing Health Literacy

A Madness to the Methods in Cognitive Neuroscience?

Since Paul Broca, the relationship between mind and brain has been the central preoccupation of cognitive neuroscience. In the 19th century, recognition that mental faculties might be understood by observations of individuals with brain damage led to vigorous debates about the properties of mind. By the end of the First World War, neurologists had outlined basic frameworks for the neural organi...

The Challenges of Cognitive Neuroscience in the 21st Century

DT-MRI Tractography and its Application in Cognitive Neuroscience

Recent advancement of MRI techniques and development of new methods of image analysis have allowed us to study large neural tracts within the human brain. This is based on the principle of diffusion tensor MRI that is similar to that of diffusion-weighted imaging but takes magnitude and direction of the diffusion of water into account. Using this technique we have been able to define large neur...

Health Literacy in Periodontal Patients

Introduction: health literacy is a fundamental part of the healing promotion. The aim of this study was to evaluate periodontal health literacy among patients. Materials and methods: 296 patients attending periodontal clinic who were above 16 years old participated in this study. Gathering data was based on screening questions on a 5-point Likert scale. After completion questionnaire, data was...
