11 paź 2021 · We found encouraging evidence supporting the potential effect of NIBS in improving memory performance, and reducing the perception of self-perceived memory decline in SCD. Yet, the high heterogeneity of stimulation protocols in the different studies prevent the issuing of clear-cut recommendations for implementation in a clinical setting.
7 mar 2018 · An updated schematic representation of the potential mechanisms involved in enhancing memory functions by deep brain stimulation. Stimulation of a target area within the memory circuit (e.g. fornix) can modulate the hippocampus through synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis, volume increase, and increased acetylcholine release
When the question of possible cognitive decline arises, international guidelines recommend a multifaceted approach to rule out potentially reversible conditions before diagnosing neurodegeneration. 1 Blood tests, neuroimaging, and analysis of cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers are common first steps. Importantly, although those tests assist with ...
Brain Health Assessment (BHA). The BHA is a 10-minute 4-task battery developed and validated for the detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild dementia. The battery is examiner-administered and features automated scoring and interpretation of results in an integrated report.
28 cze 2012 · Abstract. Background. Approximately 35 million people world-wide have Alzheimer’s disease and this is projected to nearly double by 2030.
In the 25 studies, with 1893 participants, reporting the widely used MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) test for cognitive function in dementia, there was moderate-quality evidence of a clinically important difference of 1.99 points between CS and controls (95% CI: 1.24, 2.74).
25 paź 2021 · To protect against cognitive decline, an intervention should improve abilities associated with greater cognitive reserve, including executive functioning (managing conflicting information) and working memory. Therefore, we selected three tests as outcome measures in a preregistered clinical trial: N-back, Simon Task, and the Color-Word ...
