Cognition in Recent Suicide Attempts: Altered Executive Function
Neuropsychological alterations can lead to inaccurate perception, interpretation, and response to environmental information, which could be a risk factor for suicide.
Assessment of Neurocognitive Functions, Olfaction, Taste, Mental, and Psychosocial Health in COVID-19 in Adults: Recommendations for Harmonization of Research and Implications for Clinical Practice
To propose a set of internationally harmonized procedures and methods for assessing neurocognitive functions, smell, taste, mental, and psychosocial health, and other factors in adults formally diagnosed with COVID-19 (confirmed as SARS-CoV-2 + WHO definition).
The Effect of Mindfulness-based Programs on Cognitive Function in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Mindfulness-based programs (MBPs) are increasingly utilized to improve mental health. Interest in the putative effects of MBPs on cognitive function is also growing. This is the first meta-analysis of objective cognitive outcomes across multiple domains from randomized MBP studies of adults.
Executive Functions Influence on Memory Process in Patients with Paranoid Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorders with and without Psychotic Symptoms. A Pilot Study
The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether declarative memory deficits are related to executive function deficits (EF), since they could be a consequence of a poor organization of the material to memorize.
Sex differences in brain atrophy and cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease patients with and without probable rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder
The presence of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) contributes to increase cognitive impairment and brain atrophy in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the impact of sex is unclear. We aimed to investigate sex differences in cognition and brain atrophy in PD patients with and without probable RBD (pRBD).
Brain correlates of urban environmental exposures in cognitively unimpaired individuals at increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease: A study on Barcelona’s population
Urban environmental exposures might contribute to the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Our aim was to identify structural brain imaging correlates of urban environmental exposures in cognitively unimpaired individuals at increased risk of AD.
Group and sex differences in social cognition in bipolar disorder, schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder and healthy people
Impairment of social cognition is documented in bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder (SCH). In healthy individuals, women perform better than men in some of its sub-domains. However, in BD and SCH the results are mixed. Our aim was to compare emotion recognition, affective Theory of Mind (ToM) and first- and second-order cognitive ToM in BD, SCH and healthy subjects, and to investigate sex-related differences.
Editorial: Neuropsychological and Cognitive-Behavioral Assessment of Neurodegenerative Disease and Rehabilitation Using New Technologies and Virtual Reality
The present Research Topic “Neuropsychological and Cognitive-Behavioral Assessment of Neurodegenerative Disease and Rehabilitation Using New Technologies and Virtual Reality” includes 12 high-quality manuscripts that offer an interesting scenario on these technological advances, as well as new features and approaches for the assessment and rehabilitation of patients with neurodegenerative disorders.
Cognitive and brain cytokine profile of non-demented individuals with cerebral amyloid-beta deposition
To elucidate whether amyloid deposition is associated with neuroinflammation and cognitive deficits, we studied brain inflammatory cytokine expression and cognitive decline in non-demented elderly individuals with and without cerebral amyloid-beta deposition.
Assessing Cognitive Abilities Using the WAIS-IV: An Item Response Theory Approach
This study investigates item and scale properties of the Egyptian WAIS-IV using item response theory (IRT) models.
