Dissociation of perceptual and motor inhibition processes through the use of novel computerized conflict tasks.

Efficient behavioral functioning requires early perceptual inhibition of irrelevant stimuli and later motor inhibition of inappropriate responses. The Perceptual and Motor Conflict Tasks were developed to differentially assess perceptual and motor ...

Clinical validity of the Chinese version of Mattis Dementia Rating Scale in differentiating dementia of Alzheimers type in Hong Kong.

The present study aimed to examine the clinical validity and applicability of the Chinese version of Mattis Dementia Rating Scale (CDRS) for elderly Chinese individuals. The scale was found to have good reliability with internal consistency ranging from ...

A consideration of neuropsychologically normal schizophrenia.

Neuropsychological deficits are considered by many to be core features of schizophrenia. However, about 20% of patients with schizophrenia appear to have normal neuropsychological function. This study investigates this subgroup by comparing a ...

Is there disproportionate impairment in semantic or phonemic fluency in schizophrenia?

Phonemic and semantic fluency involve the capacity to generate words beginning with particular letters or belonging to particular categories, respectively. The former has been associated with frontal lobe function and the latter with temporoparietal ...

Frontal-striatal circuit functions: context, sequence, and consequence.

The exact role of the basal ganglia in both the motor and non-motor domains has proven elusive since it is virtually impossible to refer to its function in isolation of cortical, and especially frontal cortical circuits. The result is that we often speak ...

Neural correlates of clinical symptoms and cognitive dysfunctions in obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Although results from neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies have postulated the involvement of the frontal lobe and the subcortical brain regions in the pathophysiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), neuroimaging studies have provided ...

Cognitive function and acute care utilization.

OBJECTIVES: Little is known about variation in cognitive function across the aged population, or how use and costs of health care vary with cognitive impairment. This study was designed to create a typology of cognitive function in a nationally ...

A distinct neurocognitive phenotype in female fragile-X premutation carriers assessed with visual attention tasks.

Premature ovarian failure (POF) and underlying hormonal changes are recognized as a distinct phenotype in female fragile-X premutation carriers. Neurocognitive deficits, in particular mental retardation, are associated with the full mutation in males and ...

Sex-related impairment of memory for emotional events with beta-adrenergic blockade.

On the basis of recent evidence indicating a sex-related lateralization of amygdala function in memory for emotional events, together with substantial evidence suggesting hemispheric specialization in processing global (central) versus local (detail) ...

Verbal learning and memory in schizophrenic and Parkinsons disease patients.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the neurofunctional substrate of verbal learning and memory impairments in schizophrenic patients. In this pilot study, our aim was to compare the memory disturbance of schizophrenic patients to the ...
