Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of computer-based stimulation programs in the correction of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients with ischemic heart disease in remote period after coronary artery bypass surgery.
Material And Methods: The study involved 74 patients. All patients underwent a drug therapy and the rehabilitation course using computer-based stimulation programs (1 time per day for 20 minutes during10 days). Coronary artery bypass surgery was performed for all patients. Patients were examined before operation, after 6 and 12 months.
Results: The significant improvement of higher cortical functions assessed with the FAB scale, the Schulte test, associated thinking test, ten-word retrieval test at the first attempt, the Clock drawing test) was revealed in the group using computer-based stimulation programs in comparison with the control group.
Conclusion: It is found that rehabilitation course using computer-based stimulation programs in patients with ischemic heart disease after coronary artery bypass surgery is the effective method of cognitive function correction.

Accessibility to developmental interventions for children and adolescents could be increased through virtual, at-home delivery of training programs. Virtual childhood training programs and their effects on cognitive outcomes have not been well studied. To that end, this study examined the effects of the at-home Brain Balance® (BB) program on the cognitive task performance of children and adolescents with baseline developmental and attentional difficulties.

Motor rehabilitation in patients with facial disorders, such as facial paralysis (FP), has faced challenges in maintaining the patients' engagement and motivation in the intensive and repetitive execution of the exercises. To assist in the facial rehabilitation process, gamified tools (GTs) have been proposed to promote stimulation and engagement in affected patients. This study provides a comprehensive review on the use of GTs to aid facial rehabilitation, with the aim of investigating the potential of such computer-based tools to motivate facial mime exercises.

Introduction: One of the challenges in directional deep brain stimulation (DBS) is to determine the orientation of implanted electrodes relative to targeted regions. Post-operative images must be aligned with a model of the implanted lead, usually a computer-based model provided by the manufacturer. This paper shows that models can alternatively be obtained by capturing images of individual leads using micro-CT, a high-resolution CT technique.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often causes persistent deficits in cognitive flexibility and information updating. Cognitive flexibility refers to the brain's ability to adjust its thinking and behavior in response to changing circumstances, whereas information updating is the process of incorporating new facts into current knowledge. Both cognitive flexibility and information updating are critical components of executive function, and their impairment can have a major influence on a person's capacity to operate independently and adjust to life's problems following a TBI.

Introduction: Intravenous lidocaine is increasingly used as a nonopioid analgesic, but how it acts in the brain is incompletely understood. We conducted a functional MRI study of pain response, resting connectivity, and cognitive task performance in volunteers to elucidate the effects of lidocaine at the brain-systems level.
Methods: We enrolled 27 adults (age 22-55 yr) in this single-arm, open-label study.
