Cognition and Cognitive Reserve.

Cognition is a mental process that provides the ability to think, know, and learn. Though cognitive skills are necessary to do daily tasks and activities, cognitive aging causes changes in various cognitive functions. Cognitive abilities that are preserved and strengthened by experience can be kept as a reserve and utilized when necessary.

The Modularity of Dysgraphia.

Research regarding dysgraphia, an impairment in writing, is attaining more attention in recent times. The existing studies on dysgraphia draw insights from cognitive, behavioural, neurological, and genetic fields of knowledge. However, these multiple studies on dysgraphia fail to illustrate how these cognitive, behavioural, neurological, and genetic systems interact and intersect in dysgraphia.

A Slip Between the Brain and the Lip: Working Memory and Cognitive-Communication Disorders.

The relationship between working memory and speech has been a topic of intense research interest and investigation for many years. Memory studies have found that the active processing of working memory is required for language comprehension and speech production. Though there are studies that discuss the capacity of working memory, the processing of verbal stimuli into verbal memory remains unclear.

Receive, Retain and Retrieve: Psychological and Neurobiological Perspectives on Memory Retrieval.

Memory and learning are interdependent processes that involve encoding, storage, and retrieval. Especially memory retrieval is a fundamental cognitive ability to recall memory traces and update stored memory with new information. For effective memory retrieval and learning, the memory must be stabilized from short-term memory to long-term memory.

A systematic review of associations between genetic polymorphism and dyslexia in the Indian population.

There is growing interest in understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying dyslexia. Accordingly, the literature on dyslexia is replete with shreds of evidence linking genes and their genetic markers with dyslexia among different populations. Even though genetic inquiries into dyslexia in the Asian population has gained interest in recent years, very little is known about the genes and their polymorphisms associated with dyslexia in the Indian population.
