A high percentage of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients show cognitive impairments in addition to the cardinal motor symptoms. These deficits primarily concern executive functions most probably linked dysfunctions prefrontal regions due decreased dopaminergic transmission fronto-striatal loops. To investigate possible associations between decision-making and PD, we examined 20 non-demented PD healthy control subjects with a neuropsychological test battery Game Dice Task. In this computerised...
Abstract Patients with acquired chronic bilateral vestibular loss were recently found to have a significant impairment in spatial memory and navigation when tested virtual Morris water task. These deficits associated selective atrophy of the hippocampus, which suggests that also rely on input. In present study 16 patients unilateral deafferentation due acoustic neurinoma examined 5‐ 13‐yrs post‐surgery. Volumetry hippocampus was performed age‐ sex‐matched healthy controls by manually tracing...
The acquisition of special skills can induce plastic changes in the human hippocampus, a finding demonstrated expert navigators (Maguire et al. (2000) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 97:4,398-403). Conversely, patients with acquired chronic bilateral vestibular loss develop atrophy which is associated impaired spatial memory (Brandt (2005) Brain 128:2,732-741). This suggests that relies on input. In this study 21 professional dancers and slackliners were examined to assess whether balance training...
Summary Objective Standard mortality ratio for suicide in patients with epilepsy is three times higher than the general population, and such a risk remains high even after adjusting clinical socioeconomic factors. It thus important to have suitable screening instruments implement care pathways prevention every center. The aim of this study validate use Neurological Disorder Depression Inventory Epilepsy ( NDDIE ) as suicidality‐screening instrument. Methods sample included adult assessed...
We aimed to study whether previously described impairment in decision making under risky conditions patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is affected by deficits using information about potential incentives or processing feedback (in terms of fictitious gains and losses following each decision). Additionally, we studied the neural correlates explicit risk differ between PD healthy subjects. investigated ten cognitively intact twelve subjects Game Dice Task (GDT) assess making, an fMRI...

Results of MRI volumetry in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) are inconsistent. Some, but not all, studies reported decreased hippocampus, amygdala, and/or prefrontal volumes. In the current study, we used rater-independent voxel-based morphometry (VBM) 33 female BPD patients and healthy women. We measured gray matter (GM) volumes whole brain three interest (VOI), i.e., hippocampus/parahippocampal gyrus, amygdala anterior cingulate gyrus (ACC). Analyses were conducted using lifetime...
Ageing is associated with changes in cognitive functions that affect fitness to drive. However, little known about age effects on traffic sign comprehension (TSC). In this study, we assessed 37 older and 29 younger healthy drivers a standardised test comprehensive neuropsychological battery. Older showed lower TSC speed tended interpret more recent signs less accurately than drivers. Higher functioning was generally better performances both groups. drivers, related specific such as...
