Neurocognitive predictors of financial capacity across the dementia spectrum: Normal aging, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease.

8 Feb 2009 Financial capacity is a complex instrumental activity of daily living critical to independent functioning of older adults and sensitive to impairment in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, ...

The neuropsychological profile of a subclinical obsessive-compulsive sample.

8 Feb 2009 We investigated the neuropsychological profile of subjects in a subclinical obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) sample. Psychometrically defined subclinical obsessive-compulsive (n = 21) and control (n = 22) subjects were examined. Comprehensive ...

Further analyses of the effects of practice, dropout, sex, socio-economic advantage, and recruitment cohort differences during the University of Manchester longitudinal study of cognitive change in old age.

5 Feb 2009 A sample of 4,314 volunteers who, when first recruited, were aged from 41 to 93 years were quadrennially tested from 2 to 4 occasions during the next 4 to 20 years on the Cattell Culture Fair intelligence test, 2 tests of information-processing ...

Control of visually guided saccades in multiple sclerosis: Disruption to higher-order processes.

5 Feb 2009 Ocular motor abnormalities are a common feature of multiple sclerosis (MS), with more salient deficits reflecting tissue damage within brainstem and cerebellar circuits. However, MS may also result in disruption to higher level or cognitive control ...

Effects of stimulus-response compatibility on inhibitory processes in Parkinson's disease.

4 Feb 2009 Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative basal ganglia disorder accompanied by deficits in cognitive functions. One important executive function is the inhibition of responses. Due to basal ganglia damage, processes related to the selection ...

Unmasking word processing with ERPs: two novel linear techniques for the estimation of temporally overlapped waveforms.

3 Feb 2009 Masked priming experiments are frequently used to study automatic aspects of word processing. Direct measures of such processing obtained with functional neuroimaging techniques (ERPs, fMRI, etc.) need to isolate the neural activation related to ...

The rebirth of neuroscience in psychosomatic medicine, Part I: historical context, methods, and relevant basic science.

3 Feb 2009 Neuroscience was an integral part of psychosomatic medicine at its inception in the early 20th century. Since the mid-20th century, however, psychosomatic research has largely ignored the brain. The field of neuroscience has burgeoned in recent ...

Blue or red? Exploring the effect of color on cognitive task performances.

3 Feb 2009 Existing research reports inconsistent findings with regard to the effect of color on cognitive task performances. Some research suggests that blue or green leads to better performances than red; other studies record the opposite. Current work ...

Mental arithmetic leads to multiple discrete changes from baseline in the firing patterns of human thalamic neurons.

2 Feb 2009 Primate thalamic action potential bursts associated with low-threshold spikes (LTS) occur during waking sensory and motor activity. We now test the hypothesis that different firing and LTS burst characteristics occur during quiet wakefulness ...

Are women better mindreaders? Sex differences in neural correlates of mentalizing detected with functional MRI.

2 Feb 2009 BACKGROUND: The ability to mentalize, i.e. develop a Theory of Mind (ToM), enables us to anticipate and build a model of the thoughts, emotions and intentions of others. It has long been hypothesised that women differ from men in their mentalizing ...
