The vision for the special issue in Brain and Cognition is rooted in the need to bring to the foreground the state of scientific knowledge in research and clinical neuroimaging ethics. To this end, the issue highlights a broad range of relatively unexplored ethical challenges in functional neuroimaging with MR, alone or in combination with other neuroimaging modalities, from imaging the central...

BACKGROUND One of the components of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) is the request to write a sentence. We investigated the relationship between the characteristics of the written sentence of the MMSE and the cognitive and affective status of elderly patients. METHODS The characteristics of the sentence were compared to the total MMSE score, sociodemographic characteristics, tests ev...

Objective:Screening of healthy elderly persons for cognitive impairment is a worthwhile strategy for detecting cognitive impairment at the earliest possible stage. Simple,reliable tests are needed to evaluate cognitive function. We aimed to measure cognitive function with a new computerized assessment software program, the Higher Brain Functional Balancer (HBFB), in healthy elderly subjects. Th...

BACKGROUND Previous studies found effect modification of associations between traffic-related air pollution and cardiovascular outcomes by polymorphisms in the hemochromatosis gene (HFE). As traffic-related air pollution may impact cognition through effects on cardiovascular health or through mechanisms which may also influence cardiovascular outcomes, we hypothesized that HFE polymorphisms wou...
