BACKGROUND: Evaluating eye movements in Parkinson's disease (PD) provides valuable insights into the underlying pathophysiological changes. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to investigate the relationship between monoaminergic degeneration and ocular motor abnormalities in de novo PD. METHODS: Drug-naive PD patients who underwent N-(3-[18 F]fluoropropyl)-2-carbomethoxy-3-(4-iodophenyl) nortropane positron emission tomography scans and video-oculography at diagnosis were eligible...

OBJECTIVE: We examined the influence of acculturation on Generation Z (i.e., persons born between 1997-2004) adults' cognition. METHODS: The sample consisted of 15 low-acculturated, 47 moderately-acculturated, and 28 high-acculturated Mexican participants residing in Mexico with a mean age of 20.86 (SD = 1.63). All participants completed the Word Accentuation Test, all the subtests of the Stroop Color Word Test (SCWT), Boston Naming Test, Phonemic Fluency Test (i...

OBJECTIVE: The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (RCFT) is a widely administered neuropsychological instrument. The clinical utility of using the RCFT to assist with interpretation of cognitive profiles has been well-documented; however, the utility of Spanish-language administrations is less well-known. One common adaptation for patients with lower educational attainment is the use of a simpler, semi-complex figure. These adaptations are notable for differences in administration (i...

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the influence of depression on cognition in a healthy Mexican Spanish speaking population. METHODS: The sample consisted of 41 Mexican adolescents all residing in Mexico with a mean age of 18.59 (SD = 0.50). They were divided into two depression groups: normal symptoms of depression (NSD; n = 26) and abnormal symptoms of depression (ASD; n = 15). Participants completed the Word Accentuation Test, all the subtests of the Stroop Color Word Test (SCWT), Boston Naming Test, Phonemic Fluency Test (i...

BACKGROUND: People with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) experience a loss of cognitive functions, whose mechanism is characterized by aberrant structure‒function (SC-FC) coupling and topological attributes of multiple networks. This study aimed to reveal the network-level SC-FC coupling and internal topological changes triggered by computerized cognitive training (CCT) to explain the therapeutic effects of this training in individuals with MCI. METHODS: In this randomized block experiment, we recruited 60 MCI individuals and randomly divided them into an 8-week multidomain CCT group and a health education control group...

INTRODUCTION: The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (RCFT) is one of the most commonly used neuropsychological tests in Sweden and Norway. However, no publications provide normative data for this population. The objective of this study was to present demographically adjusted norms for a Swedish and Norwegian population and to evaluate these in an independent comparison group. METHODS: The RCFT was administrated to 344 healthy controls recruited from the Swedish Gothenburg MCI study, the Norwegian Dementia Disease Initiation study, and the Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage Study...

We investigate the role of neuropsychological tests, including the learning potential, in predicting amyloid-beta positron emission tomography (Aβ-PET) status in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). This cross-sectional study included 64 patients with aMCI (31 Aβ-PET (-) and 33 (+)) who visited a memory impairment clinic at Pusan National University Hospital between 2014 and 2019. Patients underwent Aβ-PET scans using 18F-florbetaben and the Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery...

OBJECTIVE: Working memory (WM) deficits have frequently been linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Despite previous studies suggested its high heritability, its genetic basis, especially in ADHD, remains unclear. The current study aimed to comprehensively explore the genetic basis of visual-spatial working memory (VSWM) in ADHD using wide-ranging genetic analyses. METHODS: The current study recruited a cohort consisted of 802 ADHD individuals, all met DSM-IV ADHD diagnostic criteria...

BACKGROUND: The Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT) has been widely used to evaluate the neurocognitive functions in various clinical groups with a broad range of ages. However, despite its usefulness, the scoring method is as complex as the figure. Such a complicated scoring system can lead to the risk of reducing the extent of agreement among raters. Although several attempts have been made to use RCFT in clinical settings in a digitalized format, little attention has been given to develop direct automatic scoring that is comparable to experienced psychologists...

BACKGROUND: Sociodemographic effects (i.e., age, gender, education) have been shown to influence neuropsychological test scores. The current retrospective, quasi-epidemiological work provides age-, gender- and education-corrected clinical norms for five common cognitive assessments. METHODS: In total, test scores of 4968 patients from the University Hospital of Cologne (Department of Neurology), recruited between 2009 and 2020, were analyzed retrospectively. Conducted tests were the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), F-A-S Test (FAS), Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCFT) and Trail Making Test, Part A and B (TMT-A/-B)...

BACKGROUND: There are some inconsistent findings about neurocognitive functions in schizophrenia and methamphetamine induced psychosis (MIP). This study aimed to compare these two disorders in terms of neurocognitive functions related to parietal lobe. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study in which 30 patients with schizophrenia, 30 patients with MIP, and 32 healthy individuals were compared. The two groups of patients were selected through convenience sampling from among patients hospitalized in Shahid Beheshti hospital in Kerman, Iran and healthy individuals were selected via convenience sampling from among the employees of Kerman University of Medical Sciences...

The halt of clinical activities imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic forced clinicians to find alternative strategies to provide continuity of care and services, and led to a renewed interest in use of teleneuropsychology (TNP) to remotely assess patients. Recent TNP guidelines recommend maximizing the reproduction of standard in-person assessment, particularly through videoconferences. However, consistency of the adaptations of usual cognitive tests to videoconference needs further elucidation. This review aims at critical reviewing which cognitive tests could be recommended for a remote evaluation of patients with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) among those widely recognized as reference standards...

OBJECTIVE: To compare forgetting patterns between patients with temporal lobe (TLE) and generalized (GGE) epilepsies and to assess whether recall is associated with epileptic activity. METHODS: Thirty-three patients with TLE (13 left, 17 right, 3 nonlateralized TLE), 42 patients with GGE and 57 healthy controls (HCs) were asked to recall words, verbal story material and the Rey-Osterrieth complex figure at two delays. Accelerated long-term forgetting (ALF) was defined by group performance comparable to HCs at 30 min and worse recall than HCs after 4 weeks...

On demanding visual memory tasks like the Rey Complex Figure Test and Recognition Trial (RCFT), left-handers often outperform right-handers and participants with mixed handedness. Left-handers' apparent visual memory superiority develops during late childhood and early adolescence and is established by young adulthood. Though many studies have examined RCFT performance in older adults and found that visual memory deteriorates with age, investigations of the relationship between handedness and visual memory abilities in older adults have been scarce...

To determine whether children who underwent resection of a congenital lung abnormality (CLA) are at higher risk for neurodevelopmental impairments than peers in the general population. The study population consisted of children born between 1999-2018 who underwent resection of a symptomatic CLA. Neurocognitive development (intelligence, memory, attention, visuospatial processing, executive functioning) and motor function of this population are monitored through our structured, prospective longitudinal follow-up program at the ages of 30 months, 5, 8, and 12 years...

Increased delay discounting is evident in bipolar disorder, though there is minimal research on the factors that impact delay discounting in this population. We evaluated neurocognitive correlates of delay discounting among relatively euthymic participants with bipolar disorder (N = 76) with ( n = 31) and without ( n = 45) past-year substance use disorders. There were no significant differences in the mean delay discounting value between the bipolar disorder group and the comorbid bipolar disorder and past-year substance use disorders group ( p = ...

Based on previous results the cognitive profile of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is determined by the impairment of executive and visual-spatial memory functions. The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) is a widely used tool for examining visual-spatial memory disorders. Several scoring systems can be used to evaluate the ROCF and the most widespread is the original Osterrieth evaluation system. The Boston Qualitative Scoring System (BQSS) is a new, much more detailed scoring system than the Osterrieth, which allows both quantitative and a more detailed qualitative analysis of ROCF...

PURPOSE: This study investigated the effects of an interactive multitouch game-based cognitive intervention (ICI) on cognitive function in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS: Thirty-two older adults (19 women) between 65 and 84 years of age (mean age, 74.47 ± 4.30 years) without a history of neurological disease participated. They were randomized into two groups: intervention and control. The intervention group took part in ICI sessions using HAPPYTABLE® (Spring Soft Co...

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a retrovirus known to be associated with adult T-cell lymphoma and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Previous researches and brain imaging techniques have suggested cognitive abnormalities as well as brain damage in individuals infected with this virus. Given the insufficient amount of studies on how this virus can impact the affected person's cognition, we aimed to assess and compare the cognitive abnormalities of HAM/TSP patients, asymptomatic HTLV-1 carriers, and healthy controls...

The detection of right temporal lobe dysfunction with nonverbal memory tests has remained difficult in the past. Reasons for this might be the potential influence of other biasing cognitive functions such as executive functions or the verbalisability of nonverbal material. The aim of this study was to investigate three classic nonverbal memory tests by identifying their neuroanatomical correlates with lesion-symptom mapping (LSM) and by probing their independence from verbal encoding abilities and executive functions...
