Individuals with 22q11.2DS tend to have executive functioning skill deficits,5 but relatively strong rote memory,26,27 and so may be well-suited to structured or repetitive tasks. Hands-on train- ing, demonstrations, and written instructions may also help patients succeed in the workforce, as ...
Adult age differences are frequently observed in the performance of memory tasks, but the changes in neural function mediating these differences are largely unknown. We used H215O positron emission tomography (PET) to measure changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) during Encoding, Baseline,...
Objective: Older adults with sleep disorders (SDs) show impaired working memory abilities, and working memory processes are closely related to the prefrontal cortex (PFC). However, the neural mechanism of working memory impairment in older adults with SD remains unclear. This study aimed to investig...
investigated the effects of E2 and hormone therapy on cognition, the cholinergic system has been implicated in many aspects of the cognitive effects shown after E2 administration including improving attention, working memory, and improved performance on effort- demanding tasks such as verbal memory. The...
Notably, the current study only included working memory and attention in the brain-cognition association analysis. Several recent studies have also documented relationships between connectome gradient and other functions. For example, a large-sample study in adults reported that the connectome gradient in...
Evaluation of spatial working memory function in children and adults with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI studies involving n-back spatial working memory (WM) tasks were conducted in adults and children...
The FAQ is a commonly used social function scale measuring the current level of performance of ten daily tasks (see Table1) that may be impaired by dementia, such as handling personal finance, shopping alone, remembering arrangements, using transport, or preparing a meal (Pfeffer, Kurosaki, Harr...
The second group consists of nine activities that required assistance or supervision for between 11% and 34% of people. These activities include: walking outdoors, orientation, making judgments, behavior, maintaining bladder function, shopping, memory, using public transportation, and seeing; The third...
The current work relied on a large sample of healthy young adults (n = 1498) who participated in a single-center fMRI study on memory where one single MRI scanner was used for brain imaging. The subjects engaged in a picture encoding task inside the MRI scanner and a subsequent free ...
that while greater connectivity of the right DLPFC predicts better memory performance, overall increased activity in the task-positive network areas requiring greater demand of cognitive control processes predicts poorer accuracy on attention and memory tasks in older adults compared to younger adults19. ...
