Neuropsychological function in female victims of intimate partner violence with and without posttraumatic stress disorder.

BACKGROUND: Various aspects of neuropsychologic function have been reported to be abnormal in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); however, the majority of these data come from studies of seriously ill, treatment-seeking samples with ...

31P-spectroscopy of frontal lobe in schizophrenia: alterations in phospholipid and high-energy phosphate metabolism.

Studies using 31P-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) reported on abnormalities in frontal lobe metabolism in schizophrenia. The most consistent findings were a reduction in the resonances of phosphomonoesters (PME) and/or increased phosphodiesters ...

Positive and negative thought disorder and psychopathology in childhood among subjects with adulthood schizophrenia.

The New York High-Risk Project (NYHRP) is a longitudinal study of offspring of parents with schizophrenia or affective disorder and normal controls. Neuropsychological deficits had been observed at about age 9 in subjects with adulthood schizophrenia. We ...

State-related and item-related neural correlates of successful memory encoding.

Neuroimaging studies show that the efficacy of long-term memory encoding of a stimulus is indexed by transient neural activity elicited by that stimulus. Here, we show that successful memory encoding is also indexed by neural activity that is tonically ...

Alterations in brain activation during cholinergic enhancement with rivastigmine in Alzheimers disease.

BACKGROUND: Rivastigmine enhances cholinergic activity and has been shown in clinical trials to decrease the rate of deterioration in Alzheimers disease. It remains unclear where in the brain it exerts its effect. Functional magnetic resonance imaging ...

Control of language use: cognitive modeling of the hemodynamics of Stroop task performance.

The control of language use has in its simplest form perhaps been most intensively studied using the color-word Stroop task. The authors review chronometric and neuroimaging evidence on Stroop task performance to evaluate two prominent, implemented ...

Neuropsychological functioning in children with DSM-IV combined type Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the global cognitive functioning and frontal lobe functioning of children with and without DSM-IV combined type Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). METHOD: Participants were 6 to 10 year old, clinic-referred children ...

Frontal and parietal lobe activation during transitive inference in humans.

Cortical areas engaged in knowledge manipulation during reasoning were identified with functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) while participants performed transitive inference (TI) on an ordered list of 11 items (e.g. if A < B and B < C, then A < ...

A computational approach to control in complex cognition.

Cognitive deficits associated with dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) damage are often most apparent in higher cognitive tasks that involve problem solving and managing multiple goals. However, computational models of prefrontal deficits on such ...

Sex differences in young children who meet criteria for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Examined sex differences in a mostly clinic-referred sample of 127 children (22 girls, 105 boys) who met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; [DSM-IV], American Psychiatric Association, 1994) criteria for attention deficit ...
