Frontal midline theta reveals temporal dynamics of target amplification and distracter inhibition during mental set-shifting.

When humans shift between tasks, they initially show slower responses in the new task than in the previous one. Persisting attentional settings are increasingly recognized as a source for these shifting costs. However, the extent to which specific mechanisms underlying information selection and interference control contribute to this phenomenon remains less clear.

The psychosocial impact of childhood dementia on children and their parents: a systematic review.

Background: Childhood dementias are a group of rare and ultra-rare paediatric conditions clinically characterised by enduring global decline in central nervous system function, associated with a progressive loss of developmentally acquired skills, quality of life and shortened life expectancy. Traditional research, service development and advocacy efforts have been fragmented due to a focus on individual disorders, or groups classified by specific mechanisms or molecular pathogenesis. There are significant knowledge and clinician skill gaps regarding the shared psychosocial impacts of childhood dementia conditions.

The collective burden of childhood dementia: a scoping review.

Childhood dementia is a devastating and under-recognized group of disorders with a high level of unmet need. Typically monogenic in origin, this collective of individual neurodegenerative conditions are defined by a progressive impairment of neurocognitive function, presenting in childhood and adolescence. This scoping review aims to clarify definitions and conceptual boundaries of childhood dementia and quantify the collective disease burden.

Outdoor walking: Mobile EEG dataset from walking during oddball task and walking synchronization task.

This article describes a dataset from one standing and two outdoor walking tasks. Each task was performed by the same 18 participants twice, using foot accelerometers and two different EEG system configurations. The first task was a brief eyes open/eyes closed task.

Enriched environments enhance the development of explicit memory in an incidental learning task.

Learning, rendered in an implicit (unconscious) or explicit (conscious) way, is a crucial part of our daily life. Different factors, like attention or motivation, influence the transformation from implicit to explicit memory. Via virtual reality a lively and engaging surrounding can be created, whereby motivational processes are assumed to be a vital part of the transition from implicit to explicit memory.
