This program presents a standardized and systematic protocol for evaluating intrinsic capacity, the main core of healthy aging, encompassing six cardinal domains, namely, locomotion, cognition, vitality, visual and auditory acuity and mental health (Cesari et al., 2018; Rojano I Luque et al., ...
Since all reference centres have auditory brainstem responses (ABR) equipment, which includes a cVEMP module, the implementation of the vestibular screening is practically feasible on a large scale. After confirmation of the hearing loss, the vestibular screening is scheduled at the age of 6 months...
We compared echolocation skills in a real world environment for three groups: blind children, blind adults and sighted adults. The test encompassed detection of obstacles at ranges from 1 to 3 meters in a padded and empty room. We also compared the accuracy of recognition of the same scenes u...
or both. To test this question, we measured behavioral performance and cue-elicited neural changes in the electroencephalogram as participants (N = 19) performed a task in which a spatially non-predictive auditory cue preceded a visual target. Critically, this cue was either presented at a ...
test that is as objective as any other biologic test with which I’m familiar. There is no difference being detected between two alternatives - what’s being tested is the threshold of a biologic response to a single stimulus. The only device under test is the auditory system of the ...
The following anomalies are checked and compared between grades and years; overweight, systolic murmurs, hernias, alterations of the tonsils and lymph glands, deviations of the vertebral column, genital anomalies in boys, age of puberty, troubles in visual and auditory acuity (the last being ...

To assess short-term spatial working memory, mice were subjected to the Y-maze test. Memory performance of mice in the JM-1232(−) group was indistinguishable in adulthood from those in the control group (Fig. 4a). By contrast, mice in the propofol group made fewer correct choices (i...
