Although Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a well-recognized risk factor for dementia, the neural mechanisms that underlie cognitive impairment in T2DM remain unclear. This study uses resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine attention network alterations in T2DM and their relationships to impaired cognitive performance. Data-driven independent component analysis wa...

PURPOSE Driving is a meaningful occupation which is ascribed to functional independence in schizophrenia. Although it is estimated that individuals with schizophrenia have two times more traffic accidents, little research has been done in this field. Present research explores differences in mental status, visual working memory and visual organization between drivers and non-drivers with schizop...

In the PAQUID (Personnes Agées Quid) study, the authors prospectively examined flavonoid intake in relation to cognitive function and decline among subjects aged 65 years or older. A total of 1,640 subjects free from dementia at baseline in 1990 and with reliable dietary assessment were reexamined four times over a 10-year period. Cognitive functioning was assessed through three psychometric te...

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...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND To examine the effects of a multicomponent exercise program on the cognitive function of older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). METHODS DESIGN Twelve months, randomized controlled trial; SETTING Community center in Japan; PARTICIPANTS Fifty older adults (27 men) with aMCI ranging in age from 65 to 93 years (mean age, 75 years); INTERVENT...

The objective of the study was to study the effects of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors on cognition in patients with schizophrenia. We conducted a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of galantamine as adjunctive treatment to conventional antipsychotic drugs on 24 patients with schizophrenia. The 24 patients had been stabilized on conventional antipsychotic drugs (chlorpromazine equi...

the purpose of this ex-post facto research is study about relationship between executive function and cognitive distortion on delinquent juveniles and non-delinquent juveniles in tehran. statistical sample are 62 delinquent juveniles selected by purposeful selection from “the center of modification and training” and 82 people of non-delinquent juveniles selected by method of random sampling fro...

OBJECTIVES Post-stroke cognitive dysfunction greatly influences patients' quality of life after stroke. However, its neurophysiological basis remains unknown. This study utilized resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the alterations in regional coherence in patients after subcortical stroke. METHODS Resting-state fMRI measurements were acquired from 16 post...

This study which included 23 experienced hearing aid users replicated several of the experiments reported in Gatehouse et al (2003, 2006) with new speech test material, language, and test procedure. The performance measure used was SNR required for 80% correct words in a sentence test. Consistent with Gatehouse et al, this study indicated that subjects showing a low score in a cognitive test (v...
