Decision-making deficits reflected by risky decisions in gambling tasks have been associated with frontal lobe dysfunctions various neurologic and psychiatric populations. The question remains whether decision-making impairments are related to executive functions. authors developed a new task, the Game of Dice Task, explicit stable rules for reinforcement punishment, investigate relations between functions risk-taking behavior an situation. A sample 35 alcoholic Korsakoff patients healthy...
Abstract Background New evidence suggests Toxoplasma gondii infection may have inflammatory and neurocognitive effects. Among people with HIV (PWH) immunosuppression, T. can reactivate causing significant morbidity. We aimed to identify the prevalence risk factors for among a geographically defined cohort of PWH.Figure 1:The proportion seropositive seronegative tests at Southern Alberta Clinic Methods The (SAC) provides centralized care all PWH in southern Alberta. SAC is linked...
The literature portrays patients with alexithymia as unusual and difficult to treat; research date has not clarified the nature of this condition. This study addressed associations between constructs relevant clinical intervention, namely attachment, quality object relations, emotion regulation, defense style, personality disorder, treatment outcome. Fifty-one admitted an intensive group-oriented day program were recruited. Prior therapy, administered self-report structured interview...
Learning through reward is central to adaptive behavior. Indeed, items are remembered better if they experienced while participants expect a reward, and people can deliberately prioritize memory for high- over low-valued items. Do advantages high-valued only emerge after deliberate prioritization in encoding? Or, do reward-based enhancements also apply unrewarded tests implicit memory? First, we tested high-value advantage implicit- explicit-tests (Experiment 1). Participants first learned...
HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) is a common neurological among HIV-infected patients despite the availability of combination antiretroviral therapy. Host-encoded microRNAs (miRNA) regulate both host and viral gene expression contributing to HAND pathogenesis can also serve as disease biomarkers. Herein, plasma miRNA profiles were investigated in HIV/AIDS with HAND.Discovery Validation Cohorts comprising studied that included without (non-HAND). Plasma levels measured by array...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Deep gray matter iron accumulation is increasingly recognized in association with multiple sclerosis and can be measured vivo MR imaging. The cognitive implications of this pathology are not well-understood, especially vis-à-vis deep atrophy. Our aim was to investigate the relationships between cognition MS by using 2 imaging–based iron-susceptibility measures. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> Forty patients (relapsing-remitting, <i>n</i> = 16; progressive, 24) 27...
Alexithymia refers to difficulties in identifying, differentiating, and describing feelings. This personality trait is highly prevalent many psychiatric conditions may drive associated social-emotional problems, including the ability decode emotions faces. study probed alexithymic problems with identifying clear ambiguous blends of faces their underlying visual attention patterns. Using Toronto Scale-20, students high alexithymia (HA, n = 73) or low (LA, 76) were enrolled this study....
Excessive alcohol consumption is assumed to promote cognitive decline, eventually increasing the risk of dementia. However, little known about time course functions in patients with chronic alcoholic Korsakoff syndrome (KS). Therefore, we assessed neuropsychological performance 20 detoxified KS inpatients at 1 (T1) a follow-up after two years (T2). The tests verbal and visual short- long-term memory, working basic executive functions, language, general knowledge, visual-spatial abilities....
