"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step": An Asian American perspective on mentoring in neuropsychology.

Objective: The Asian Neuropsychological Association (ANA) is a recently established cultural identity-based organization with the mission to ensure accessibility and provision of culturally sensitive neuropsychological services for individuals of Asian descent. One of ANA's programmatic goals has been to foster a pipeline of neuropsychologists through mentoring and networking. In this paper, we aim to understand the historical context as well as unique considerations that are relevant for mentoring in the Asian American community.

Longitudinal cognitive follow-up in low grade gliomas.

Background In patients with low-grade glioma (LGG), the tumor and its treatment with conformal radiation therapy (RT) and chemotherapy can disrupt cognitive function. However, the contribution of disease and treatment to long-term cognitive outcome remains to be elucidated. In this study, we performed longitudinal cognitive follow-up in a subgroup of patients who received RT, chemotherapy, or no treatment.

Differential prefrontal cortex activation during inhibitory control in adolescents with and without childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

The authors examined inhibitory control processes in 8 adolescents diagnosed with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) during childhood and in 8 adolescent control participants using functional MRI with the Stimulus and Response Conflict Tasks (K. W. Nassauer & J.

The relationship of behavioral inhibition to executive functions in young adults.

Barkley's hybrid model of executive functions (EFs) predicts that individuals with deficient inhibitory control should show impairment of EFs. Thirty-eight nonreferred young adults were administered tests of EFs and four laboratory measures of inhibitory control: Stop Signal (SS), Go No-Go, Competing Motor Program (CMP), and Stroop Color-Word tests. Behavioral ratings of impulsivity were collected using the Barratt Impulsivity Scale-11 (BIS-11).

Response inhibition in adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder during childhood: an event-related FMRI study.

Objective: Frontostriatal neural abnormalities have been implicated in the response inhibition impairments that are characteristic of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, reports of such abnormalities in adolescents are inconsistent. The present study used behavioral and functional neuroimaging techniques to examine inhibitory control processes in adolescents who had been diagnosed with ADHD during childhood.
