The pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) is considered to be a key node in the cognitive control of actions that require rapid updating, inhibition, or switching, as well working memory. It now recognized pre-SMA part "cognitive control" network involving inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and subcortical regions, such striatum subthalamic nucleus. However, two important questions remain addressed. First, it not clear if main role lies inhibition switching actions. From imaging evidence, right...
The main objective of this research is to explore which factors best predict the occurrence burden on primary caregivers children with cerebral palsy (CP). Understanding these enables identification those at risk having their physical and psychological health adversely affected, implementation intervention strategies reduce negative impact caring parents chronic medical conditions. study sample consisted a total 62 (89% women) aged between 30 54 years (Mean = 41.98, SD 5.64). CP affected...
Theta burst stimulation (TBS) protocols hold high promise in neuropsychological rehabilitation. Nevertheless, their ability to either decrease (continuous, cTBS) or increase (intermittent, iTBS) cortical excitability areas other than the primary motor cortex, and consistency modulating human behaviors with clinically relevant tasks remain be fully established. The behavioral effects of TBS over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) are particularly interesting given its involvement working...
Preparatory control in task-switching has been suggested to rely upon a set of distributed regions within frontoparietal network, with frontal and parietal cortical areas cooperating implement switch-specific preparation processes. Although recent causal evidence using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have generally supported this model, alternative results from both functional neuroimaging neurophysiological studies questioned the role cortices. The aim present study was clarify...
Summary Objective Abdominal fat ultrasound (US) is a simple clinical tool that may allow measures of depots not visible using common dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DEXA) or computerized tomography (CT) imaging. The aim this study was to validate the technique, give superficial and profound subcutaneous , preperitoneal omental perirenal (retroperitoneal) correlate them with MS markers. Methods Sequential US these five abdominal layers were done at 397 adults. Blood pressure (BP), body mass...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain technique able to modulate cortical excitability. This modulation may influence areas and networks responsible for specific cognitive processes, the repetition of induced temporary changes can produce long-lasting effects. TMS effectiveness be enhanced when used in conjunction with training focused on functions. Playing video games an optimal since it involves different components high levels engagement motivation. The goal this...
Abstract Background Although δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main cannabinoid from cannabis plant, is responsible for psychotomimetic effects of cannabis, cannabidiol (CBD), second most abundant in does not show any effect. Cannabidiol has even been proposed to be antipsychotic and counteract some THC. The aim this study was test potential antipsychotomimetic CBD. Method Eighteen members a social club were tested subjective under different full-spectrum extracts containing either THC,...
Abstract Objective Alzheimer’s disease is a major health problem in our society. To date, pharmacological treatments have obtained poor results and there growing interest finding non-pharmacological interventions for this disease. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) non-invasive technique that able to induce changes brain activity long-term modifications impaired neural networks, becoming promising clinical intervention. Our goal study the benefit of individualized TMS targeting based on...
While social cognition is shown to be impaired in several mental disorders, the effects of cannabis on are still not clear. Past studies have used multifaceted empathy test (MET) study cognition. This aims validity MET Spanish version and evaluate use
Cannabis is being legalized for medical and recreational purposes all around the world. However, understanding of psychological effects cannabis still limited, it has been previously linked to mental disorders such as schizophrenia. Lately, new scales have created adapted measure its effects. The aim this study create Spanish versions some these test their psychometric characteristics. One hundred sixteen participants were recruited from Social Clubs (CSC) in Barcelona, Spain. Participants...
To highlight the effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as therapeutic tool in rehabilitation neglect.The benefits TMS different neurological disorders, such epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, stroke or dementias, are increasingly evident. For many years clinical research has been conducted to develop new and effective strategies for neglect, being repetitive an important this regard. The positive outcomes treatment neglect based on noninvasive brain have demonstrated by...
Background: Social cognition abilities such as empathy and the Theory of Mind (ToM) have been shown to be impaired in neuropsychiatric conditions psychotic, autistic, bipolar disorders. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) seems play a role social behavior emotional processing while it also those showing impairments. Main plant cannabinoids delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabidiol (CBD) modulate ECS and, due their opposite effects, proposed both cause treatment for neuropsychiatric-related...

The objective is to present a website designed improve the quality of life caregivers children with cerebral palsy and show data concerning its usefulness. was developed in accordance scientific literature about caregivers’ burden. We organized around different sections (e.g. family communication, learning relax) social support forums. interactive features site were accommodate needs enable them choose pathways according their own individual needs. Participants 10 who took part pilot study...
