EEG Spectral Power Changes in Patients With Dysexecutive Syndrome Following Cognitive Intervention.

Background: Acquired brain injury (ABI) leads to cognitive deficiencies, alteration of brain activity associated with an increase in slow-wave (delta and theta bands) power, and reduced fast-wave (alpha, beta, and gamma bands) power. To compensate for the cognitive deficits that impact autonomy and quality of life, patients in a chronic phase can benefit from cognitive intervention.

Objective: This study explores the effects of cognitive intervention on brain activity, measured by electroencephalography (EEG), and on executive functioning, assessed by the Test of Attentional Performance (TAP) battery.

IGF2R circular RNA hsa_circ_0131235 expression in the middle temporal cortex is associated with AD pathology.

Objective: To identify circular RNAs as candidates for differential expression in the middle temporal (MT) cortex in a well-characterized cohort with contrasting Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology and cognition. Top screen candidates were assessed for proof of circularity and then quantified by qPCR in a larger number of samples.

Methods: An initial RNA sequencing screen was performed on n = 20 frozen human tissue samples.

Some events that we can forget about can still have an impact on elderly people's health. Asking about patients' feelings and past experiences during such conditions may help them express their feelings, and they may ask for psychological help.
