Confabulation in Alzheimer's disease: poor encoding and retrieval of over-learned information.

29 Sep 2008 Patients who confabulate retrieve personal habits, repeated events or over-learned information and mistake them for actually experienced, specific unique events. Although some hypotheses favour a disruption of frontal/executive functions operating ... Read more...

Differential effects of high-dose magnetic seizure therapy and electroconvulsive shock on cognitive function.

6 Feb 2008 BACKGROUND: Magnetic seizure therapy (MST) is under investigation as an alternative form of convulsive therapy that induces more focal seizures and spares cortical regions involved in memory. With a newly expanded version of the Columbia University ... Read more...

Intrusions in story recall: when over-learned information interferes with episodic memory recall. Evidence from Alzheimer's disease.

15 Nov 2007 Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) suffer from distortions of memory. Among such distortions, intrusions in memory tests are frequently observed. In this study we describe the performance of a group of mild AD patients and a group of normal ... Read more...
