Consumption of peanut products improves memory and stress response in healthy adults from the ARISTOTLE study: A 6-month randomized controlled trial
The study aims to evaluate the effect of regular consumption of peanut products on cognitive functions and stress response in healthy young adults
Sex differences in neurocognitive and psychosocial functioning in bipolar disorder
The aim of the present study was to examine the role of sex differences in neurocognitive performance and psychosocial functioning in a large sample of euthymic patients suffering from BD.
Longitudinal study in adolescent anorexia nervosa: evaluation of cortico-striatal and default mode network resting-state brain circuits
Anorexia nervosa (AN) typically emerges in adolescence. The cortico-striatal system (CSTS) and the default mode network (DMN) are brain circuits with a crucial development during this period. These circuits underlie cognitive functions that are impaired in AN, such as cognitive flexibility and inhibition, among others.
Spanish normative studies (NEURONORMA-Plus project): norms for the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, the Modified Taylor Complex Figure, and the Ruff-Light Trail Learning Test
The present study aims to provide norms and age-, education-, and sex-adjusted data for the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), the Modified Taylor Complex Figure (MTCF), and the Ruff-Light Trail Learning Test (RULIT) as part of the NEURONORMA-Plus project.
Associations Between Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Cardiovascular Risk, and Cognition Are Mediated by Structural Brain Health in Midlife
Background Evidence in older adults suggests that higher cardiorespiratory fitness and lower cardiovascular risk are associated with greater cognition. However, given that changes in the brain that lead to cognitive decline begin decades before the onset of symptoms, understanding the mechanisms by which modifiable cardiovascular factors are associated with brain health in midlife is critical and can lead to the development of strategies to promote and maintain brain health as we age.
Cognitive and Affective Empathy in Huntington’s Disease
The objective of the study is to explore the cognitive and affective empathy disturbances and related behavioral and neural correlates in HD
Improving autobiographical memory in Alzheimer’s disease by transcranial alternating current stimulation
The study reviews the latest evidence from animal models, studies in humans using electrophysiology, experimental memory paradigms, and non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), in the form of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), suggesting that the altered activity in networks that contribute to the autobiographical memory (ABM) deficits may be modifiable
Cognitive clusters in first-episode psychosis
The aim of this study was to identify cognitive subgroups over time and to compare their sociodemographic, clinical and functional profiles.
The association between air pollutants and hippocampal volume from magnetic resonance imaging: A systematic review and meta-analysis
A hallmark of neurodegeneration and an important diagnostic biomarker is volume reduction of a key brain structure, the hippocampus. We aimed to investigate the possibility that outdoor air nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter with diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) and ≤10 μm (PM10) adversely affect hippocampal volume, through a meta-analysis.
Evaluación neuropsicológica de la emoción y la motivación
L’Editorial Síntesis ha publicat el llibre Evaluación neuropsicológica de la emoción y la motivación, editat per Rubén Sanz Blasco i José María Ruiz-Sánchez de León. Les alteracions emocionals i motivacionals són inherents a qualsevol dany cerebral o patologia neurodegenerativa i influeixen d’una manera decisiva en el procés d’avaluació i intervenció neuropsicològica. No obstant això, en […]
