Long-term brain structural and cognitive outcomes in a low-risk preterm-born sample.

Prematurity has been related to altered brain structure and cognition, and so our aim was to describe them in the absence of major structural brain injury following low-risk preterm birth during adolescence and young adulthood. The sample consisted of 250 participants, 132 of whom were low-risk preterm (30-36 weeks' gestational age) and 118 were full-term individuals (37-42 weeks' gestational age), aged between 16 and 38 years old. All participants underwent an extensive neuropsychological assessment.

A multi-site study on sex differences in cortical thickness in non-demented Parkinson's disease.

Clinical, cognitive, and atrophy characteristics depending on sex have been previously reported in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, though sex differences in cortical gray matter measures in early drug naïve patients have been described, little is known about differences in cortical thickness (CTh) as the disease advances. Our multi-site sample comprised 211 non-demented PD patients (64.

Amygdala structure and function and its associations with social-emotional outcomes in a low-risk preterm sample.

Amygdala atypical volume development and functional connectivity (FC) at small gestational ages (GA) have been found across childhood. This adult-oriented study assesses whether altered amygdala structure and function is present following low-risk preterm birth. T1-weighted and resting-state functional MRI images of 33 low-risk preterm (30-36 weeks' GA) and 29 full-term (37-42 weeks' GA) young adults of both sexes, aged between 20 and 32 years old, were analyzed using FreeSurfer (v6.

Moderators of functional improvement after integrative cognitive remediation in schizophrenia: Toward a personalized treatment approach.

Cognitive remediation is an effective intervention for improving functional outcome in schizophrenia. However, the factors that moderate this improvement are still poorly understood. The study aimed to identify moderators of functional outcome improvement after integrative cognitive remediation (REHACOP) in schizophrenia.
