Reversion From Mild Cognitive Impairment To Normal Cognition: False-Positive Error Or True Restoration Thanks To Cognitive Control Ability?

Purpose: Relatively little attention has been paid to the meaning of reversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to cognitively normal (CN), compared to MCI progression studies. The purpose of the study was to investigate the characteristics contributing to reversion from MCI to CN and to identify the associated factors with such reversion.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively identified 200 individuals who initially diagnosed as MCI and completed the second visit from the National Research Center for Dementia (NRCD) registry in Korea.

Rapid consolidation of motor memory in the vestibuloocular reflex.

Motor memory is relatively labile immediately after learning but can become more stable through consolidation. We investigated consolidation of motor memory in the vestibuloocular reflex (VOR). Cats viewed the world through telescopic lenses during 60 min of passive rotation.

The site of a motor memory shifts with consolidation.

The basis for the consolidation of memory is a controversial topic, particularly in the case of motor memory. One view is that motor memory is transferred, partially or completely, to a new location during the consolidation process ("systems consolidation"). We investigated this possibility in a primitive motor system, the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR).
