Cognitive mechanisms have been proposed to play an important role in tinnitus. In the present study, tinnitus participants were administered an emotional Stroop test via the Internet, incorporating words related to tinnitus concerns. In line with previous research using this Web-based version of the emotional Stroop test, faster color naming was demonstrated for concern-relevant words relative ...

The majority of previous neuroimaging studies have demonstrated both structural and task-related functional abnormalities in adolescents with online gaming addiction (OGA). However, few functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies focused on the regional intensity of spontaneous fluctuations in blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) during the resting state and fewer studies investigated t...

background: cognitive impairment profoundly influences on older adults’ activities and quality of life. therefore, optimizing and remediating age-associated cognitive decline have great importance. objectives: to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks (3 day /week) computer based brain training on cognitive performance in old women with mild cognitive impairment (mci). materials and methods: this rando...

background: addiction, especially addiction quitting, has been the main problem of health systems of many countries in recent years. high percentage of addiction recurrence (more than 80%) indicates that the nature and therapeutic method of addiction have not been recognized and it demands more efforts in this field. thus, the present study was conducted with an aim to examine the effect of ban...

conclusion skin test anergy is uncommon among drug users and the ppd skin test may be reliably used for the identification of latent tb infection in the population. results a total of 221 patients (216 male, mean age 43.5 ± 14.3 years) were studied. tuberculin skin test results showed that 87 subjects (39.4%) tested positive for tb reactivity. reactivity to tetanus and candida antigens were obs...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the independent contribution of change in sub-total body fat and lean mass to cognitive performance, specifically the executive processes of selective attention and conflict resolution, in community-dwelling older women. METHODS This secondary analysis included 114 women aged 65 to 75 years old. Participants were randomly allocated to once-weekly resistance training,...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The Stroop test is commonly applied in elderly subjects for the evaluation of cognitive impairment related to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related disorders. This study aimed to investigate the functional neural correlates of the Stroop performance in AD. METHODS In 136 probable AD patients and 54 cognitively normal elderly, a [(18)F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomog...

A common explanation for the interference effect in the classic visual Stroop test is that reading a word (the more automatic semantic response) must be suppressed in favor of naming the text color (the slower sensory response). Neuroimaging studies also consistently report anterior cingulate/medial frontal, lateral prefrontal, and anterior insular structures as key components of a network for ...
