Predicting the time of conversion to MCI in the elderly: role of verbal expression and learning.
28 Sep 2009 
BACKGROUND: Increasing awareness that minimal or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in the elderly may be a precursor of dementia has led to an increase in the number of people attending memory clinics. We aimed to develop a way of predicting the ...

23 Sep 2009 The authors investigated the association of white matter lesions and lacunar infarcts with cognitive performance and whether brain atrophy mediates these associations. Within the Second Manifestations of Arterial Disease-Magnetic Resonance study ...

22 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Reliable data on the prevalence and predictors of post-stroke dementia are needed to inform patients and carers, plan services and clinical trials, ascertain the overall burden of stroke, and understand its causes. However, published ...

Tracking the emergence of conceptual knowledge during human decision making.
22 Sep 2009 Concepts lie at the very heart of intelligence, providing organizing principles with which to comprehend the world. Surprisingly little, however, is understood about how we acquire and deploy concepts. Here, we show that a functionally coupled ...

Spatial attention decorrelates intrinsic activity fluctuations in macaque area V4.
22 Sep 2009 Attention typically amplifies neuronal responses evoked by task-relevant stimuli while attenuating responses to task-irrelevant distracters. In this context, visual distracters constitute an external source of noise that is diminished to improve ...

The neurobiology of decision: consensus and controversy.
22 Sep 2009 We review and synthesize recent neurophysiological studies of decision making in humans and nonhuman primates. From these studies, the basic outline of the neurobiological mechanism for primate choice is beginning to emerge. The identified mechanism ...

Testosterone and unconscious positive priming increase human motivation separately.
21 Sep 2009 Clinical observations suggest that testosterone generates unconscious broad-spectrum motivations to act. It has also been suggested that subliminal positive-priming techniques also unconsciously enhances motivation for action. This ...

Cognitive change effects in a semantic, a numeric, and a figure inference task.
21 Sep 2009 Event-related potentials were recorded to examine the electrophysiologic correlates of the evaluation of possible answers provided during a semantic, a numeric, and a figure inference task. We examined two conditions: the probe stimulus given was ...

Left parietal cortex is modulated by amount of recollected verbal information.
21 Sep 2009 In two earlier experiments, we reported that left parietal cortex activity covaried with the amount of pictorial information recollected. The present experiment addressed the question whether our earlier results would generalize to verbal materials. ...
