Cognitive symptoms are common in Parkinson's Disease (PD), and digital interventions like telerehabilitation other an accessible way to manage these symptoms. This study aimed assess the effectiveness of a Home-Based Computerized Training (HB-CCT) program individuals with PD using pilot randomized cross-over design. Twenty-five participants (mean age 69.32 ± 7.21 years, mean MDS-UPDRS III 33.76 14.25) mild cognitive impairment were enrolled. They underwent neuropsychological assessments at...
Abstract Pareidolia refers to the perception of ambiguous sensory patterns as carrying a specific meaning. In its most common form, pareidolia involves human-like facial features, where random objects or are illusionary recognized faces. The current study investigated neurophysiological correlates face via transcranial alternating stimulation (tACS). tACS was delivered at gamma (40 Hz) frequency over critical nodes “face perception” network (i.e., right lateral occipito-temporal and left...
Face Recognition Ability (FRA) varies widely throughout the population. Previous research highlights a positive relationship between self-perceived and objectively measured FRA in healthy population, suggesting that people do have insight into their FRA. Given this has not been investigated Italian samples yet, main aim of present work was to develop an translation Prosopagnosia Index-20 (PI-20), self-report measure FRA, investigate PI-20 performances objective assessment given by Cambridge...
<title>Abstract</title> Frontostriatal degeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with language deficits, which can be identified using natural processing, a remarkable tool for digital phenotyping. Current evidence limited linguistic coverage and mostly blind to the disorder’s cognitive phenotypes. We validated an AI-driven approach capture markers of PD without mild impairment (PD-MCI, PD-nMCI) relative healthy controls (HCs). Analyzing connected speech samples participants, we...
Containing aggressive behavior is an ongoing challenge in modern society. Aggressiveness a multi-level construct that can be driven by emotions (reactive aggression) or "cold-blooded" and goal-directed (proactive). Aggressive could arise because of misjudgment others' intentions follow frontal brain lesions leading to reduction impulse control emotion regulation. In the last few years, interventional basic research studies adopting Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) have significantly...
Wernicke–Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS) is a severe neurological disorder resulting from thiamine deficiency, commonly associated with alcohol consumption but also stemming dietary imbalances or other clinical conditions. Cognitive deficits, affecting memory and executive functions, pose serious concern, partial recovery often not complete. A 28-year-old woman underwent surgery for acute necrotizing hemorrhagic pancreatitis, leading to admission post-acute intensive treatment due prolonged bed...
