There are currently stimuli with published norms available to study several psychological aspects of language and visual cognitions. Norms represent valuable information that can be used as experimental variables or systematically controlled limit their potential influence on another manipulation. The present work proposes 480 photo have been normalized for name, category, familiarity, complexity, object agreement, viewpoint manipulability. Stimuli also in grayscale, blurred, scrambled,...
A multistudy analysis of positron emission tomography data identified three right prefrontal and two left cortical sites, as well a region in the anterior cingulate gyrus, where neuronal activity is correlated with maintenance episodic memory retrieval mode (REMO), basic necessary condition remembering past experiences. The sites were near frontal pole [Brodmann's area (BA) 10], operculum (BA 47/45), lateral dorsal 8/9). homotopical opercular sites. same kinds REMO not observed any other...
Brain imaging studies of major depressive disorder have shown alterations in the brain regions typically involved episodic memory, including prefrontal cortex and medial temporal areas. Some linked memory performance to treatment response. In this study, we sought identify whose activity, measured during encoding pictures, predicted symptomatic improvement after 8 weeks citalopram treatment.We included 20 unmedicated depressed patients. These patients performed an recognition task functional...
There is growing recognition that connectome architecture shapes cortical and subcortical gray matter atrophy across a spectrum of neurological psychiatric diseases. Whether connectivity contributes to tissue volume loss in schizophrenia the same manner remains unknown.Here, we relate patients with patterns structural functional connectivity. Gray deformation was estimated sample 133 individuals chronic (48 women, mean age 34.7 ± 12.9 years) 113 control subjects (64 23.5 8.4 years)....
Cognitive inhibition deficits have previously been found in suicide attempters. This study examined the neural basis for these depressed patients with and without a history of suicidal behavior.Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure brain activation during Go/No-Go response task 25 unmedicated middle-aged attempters, 22 patient controls no personal or family behavior, 27 healthy controls. Whole-brain analyses were conducted SPM12.Suicide attempters exhibited an elevated...
Article AbstractObjective: Functional recovery remains the primary goal following treatment of a psychotic disorder, especially after first episode. Evidence regarding relative contributions predictors functional outcome, including symptoms and cognition, equivocal. The objective study was to determine contribution in particular verbal memory, symptomatic remission social occupational functioning while controlling for established large sample patients presenting with episode schizophrenia...
Abstract Background Although persistent negative symptoms (PNS) are known to contribute significantly poor functional outcome, they remain poorly understood. We examined the heuristic value of various PNS definitions and their respective prevalence in patients with first episode psychosis (FEP). also contrasted those Proxy for Deficit Syndrome (PDS) identify deficit syndrome (DS) same FEP cohort. Methods One hundred fifty-eight were separated into non-PNS groups based on ratings from Scale...
