Objective: The purpose of the study is to further examine the effectiveness of computerized working memory intervention among Chinese population.
Method: In comparing the performance of experimental group with those of control group, General Linear Model Analysis (repeated measures) was applied to neurological and behavioral measures obtained for working memory, response inhibition, and inattention and hyperactive symptoms.
Results: For experimental group that received high-intensity training in school setting, there was a significant improvement in working memory reflected in neuropsychological measures as well as parent-rated behavioral measures as compared with the control group.
Conclusion: Our results generally supported the effectiveness of group-based computerized training. It might be served as a cost-effective intervention in semistructured settings, with high-intensity training and minimal therapist involvement.

This mini-review explores sexual dimorphism in the ventral midline thalamus, focusing on the reuniens nucleus and its role in behavioral functions. Traditionally linked to tasks such as working memory, cognitive flexibility, fear generalization, and memory consolidation, most studies have been conducted in male rodents. Research comparing the effects of ventral midline thalamus manipulations between female and male rodents is limited.

Visual working memory (VWM) is a core cognitive system enabling us to select and briefly store relevant visual information. We recently observed that more salient items were recalled more precisely from VWM and demonstrated that these effects of salience resisted manipulations of reward, probability, and selection history. Here, we investigated whether and how salience interacts with shifts of attention induced by pre- and retrocueing.

Visual working memory (VWM) is a capacity-limited cognitive system that is utilized for enabling goal-directed actions. When sampling items for VWM storage, however, observers are often exposed to other items that are not selected for imminent action (hereafter: "prospective items"). Here, we asked whether such exposure leads to memory buildup of these prospective items, facilitating subsequent VWM encoding for imminent action.

Time is a central dimension against which perception, action, and cognition play out. From anticipating when future events will happen to recalling how long ago previous events occurred, humans and animals are exquisitely sensitive to temporal structure. Empirical evidence seems to suggest that estimating time prospectively (i.

Objective: Cognitive deficits are one of the most debilitating comorbidities in epilepsy and other neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental brain disorders. Current diagnostic and therapeutic options are limited and lack objective measures of the underlying neural activities. In this study, electrophysiological biomarkers that reflect cognitive functions in clinically validated batteries were determined to aid diagnosis and treatment in specific brain regions.
