Eye contact does not facilitate detection in children with autism.

Eye contact is crucial in achieving social communication. Deviant patterns of eye contact behavior are found in individuals with autism, who suffer from severe social and communicative deficits. This study used a visual oddball paradigm to investigate ...

Cortisol response to a cognitive stress challenge in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related to childhood abuse.

Preclinical studies show that animals with a history of chronic stress exposure have increased hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis reactivity following reexposure to stress. Patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been found to have ...

Decreased platelet cytochrome c oxidase activity is accompanied by increased blood lactate concentration during exercise in patients with Alzheimer disease.

Increasing evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in the central nervous system as well as in the peripheral tissues from Alzheimers disease (AD) patients. We have recently shown that mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (COX) activity is ...

Mild cognitive impairment: prevalence and predictive validity according to current approaches.

OBJECTIVES: Mild cognitive impairment is associated with an increased risk of developing dementia. However, there is no consensus on diagnostic criteria and different concepts have rarely been evaluated in population-based samples. This paper compares ...

Early sensory information processes are enhanced on visual oddball and S1-S2 tasks in Parkinsons disease: a visual event-related potentials study.

To observe sensory and cognitive information processing in Parkinsons disease (PD), 34 PD patients and 26 controls were investigated. A visual oddball paradigm and an S1-S2 paradigm were employed to record the early (P1, N1, P2) and late (N2, P3) ...

Correlation between performance on the Continuous Performance Test and economic costs in patients with schizophrenia.

The aim of the present study was to determine whether a relationship existed between the performance on the Continuous Performance Test (CPT) and the economic costs of schizophrenic patients in Taiwan. Forty-six schizophrenic patients and their ...
