Neuroplasticity-based computerized cognitive remediation for treatment resistant geriatric depression
Executive dysfunction (ED) in geriatric depression (GD) is common, predicts poor clinical outcomes and often persists despite remission of symptoms. Here we develop a neuroplasticity-based computerized cognitive remediation-geriatric depression treatment (nCCR-GD) to target ED in GD. Our assumption is that remediation of these deficits may modulate the underlying brain network abnormalities sha...
متن کاملEnhancing Neuroplasticity to Augment Cognitive Remediation in Schizophrenia
There is a burgeoning need for innovative treatment strategies to improve the cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. Cognitive remediation (CR) is effective at the group level, but the variability in treatment response is large. Given that CR may depend on intact neuroplasticity to produce cognitive gains, it is reasonable to combine it with strategies that harness patients' neuroplastic potentia...

متن کاملCombining computerized social cognitive training with neuroplasticity-based auditory training in schizophrenia.
OBJECTIVE Social cognitive deficits are an important treatment target in schizophrenia, but it is unclear to what degree they require specialized interventions and which specific components of behavioral interventions are effective. In this pilot study, we explored the effects of a novel computerized neuroplasticity-based auditory training delivered in conjunction with computerized social cogni...
متن کاملEvidence-based pharmacologic interventions for geriatric depression.
Geriatric depression is a growing public health problem [1,2]. The estimated prevalence of geriatric major depression in the general population is 1% to 2% [3,4]. Depressive symptoms not meeting the criteria for major depression occur in approximately 15% of older adults [5]. The prevalence of major depression in community-dwelling older adults is 1% to 3%, but the prevalence is at least 10% to...
