Cognitive Declines Precede and Predict Functional Declines in Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease
OBJECTIVE To investigate the temporal ordering of cognitive and functional declines separately in older adults with or without Alzheimer's disease (AD). DESIGN AND SETTING A community-based longitudinal study of aging and dementia in Northern Manhattan (Washington Heights/Hamilton Heights Inwood Columbia Aging Project) and a multicenter, clinic-based longitudinal study of prevalent AD at Colu...
متن کاملTwo-sex matrix models in assessing population viability: when do male dynamics matter?
1. While most demographic population models used in conservation rely on female vital rates, recent empirical evidence suggests that male dynamics should be included in population models used for assessing extinction risk. 2. Using California sea lions Zalophus californianus as an applied example, we demonstrate that there are situations in which two-sex models are more appropriate than the com...
متن کاملCovert shifts of attention precede involuntary eye movements.
There is considerable evidence that covert visual attention precedes voluntary eye movements to an intended location. What happens to covert attention when an involuntary saccadic eye movement is made? In agreement with other researchers, we found that attention and voluntary eye movements are tightly coupled in such a way that attention always shifts to the intended location before the eyes be...
متن کاملAmphibian Population Declines : Evolutionary Considerations
May 2007 / Vol. 57 No. 5 • BioScience 437 L losses in biodiversity are being documented around the world in almost all classes of plants and animals (Lawton and May 1995). Although the exact number of species being lost is unknown, some researchers estimate that the rate of extinction is greater than any known in the last 100,000 years (Wilson 1992). This biodiversity crisis is exemplified by t...
متن کاملDo shark declines create fear-released systems?
We illustrate the theoretical plausibility that fishery removal of sharks can indirectly alter predation pressure on different fish species via the behavioural responses of mesoconsumers released from predator intimidation. Our dynamic state variable model of foraging decisions by harbour seals, a mesopredator, predicted indirect effects of the removal of Pacific sleeper sharks on two species c...
