Rehabilitation activities with tablet (REACT) in Parkinson's disease.

Introduction: There is evidence to demonstrate that plasticity is "use-dependent" and that intensive practice may be necessary to modify neural organization.

Purpose: The main aim of this work is to investigate the REACT usability, an innovative app, to assist People with Parkinson Disease (PwPD) at home.

Methods: A pilot study has been conducted enrolling 20 consecutive PwPD.

Consecutive and temporally distant perseverations after right brain damage: A prospective study.

Right brain-damaged patients may show omissions and/or additional marks in target cancellation. The latter is classified as perseverative behavior and has been attributed to defective response inhibition or attentional disengagement deficit. This study aimed at (a) verifying that consecutive (immediate) and return (temporally distant) motor perseverations could be due to different mechanisms; (b) investigating the relationships among different types of perseveration (e.

Setting the midpoint of sentences: The role of the left hemisphere.

The human brain has a remarkable capacity to focus processing resources based on the features and the relevance of the task at hand. The two cerebral hemispheres contribute differentially to this capacity, with the left hemisphere linguistic and right hemisphere visuo-spatial abilities each offering unique contributions. For example, previous research has established that healthy participants set the subjective mid-point of written sentences more leftwards of center, compared to unpronounceable letter strings or simple lines.
