This pilot study investigated neural correlates of visual working memory using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in seven patients more than one decade after neonatal arterial switch operation for surgical correction of d-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA, aged 10-18 years, 1 female). Compared with age and sex matched healthy controls patients showed similar visual working memory performance and a smaller increase in brain activity in the posterior parietal cortex with higher visual working memory load. These findings suggest that patients exhibit altered neural activity within a network that is known to support visuospatial memory and cognition.

Characteristics of Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Cannulation in Older Japanese Inpatients.

J Infus Nurs

December 2024

Author Affiliations: Faculty of Nursing, Department of Nursing, Josai International University, Chiba, Japan (Mss Kitada and Tateno; Drs Ninomiya and Kabashim); Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Department of Medical Pharmacy, Josai International University, Chiba, Japan (Dr Yamamura); Behavioral Science, Graduate School of Medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Toyama, Toyama, Japan (Dr Hori).

Age-related physiological changes affect various aspects of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) cannulation. However, the characteristics of PIVCs, especially in older patients, have been poorly investigated. In the current cross-sectional observational study, PIVC sizes, PIVC sites, the number of attempts until successful insertion, and the degree of venodilation upon insertion among hospital inpatients aged ≥65 years were investigated, along with measurements of the vessel diameter and depth using ultrasound.

Persistent effects of salience in visual working memory: Limits of cue-driven guidance.

J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform

January 2025

Faculte de Psychologie et des Sciences de l'Education, Universite de Geneve.

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.

Latent memory traces for prospective items in visual working memory.

J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform

January 2025

Department of Experimental Psychology, Helmholtz Institute, Utrecht University.

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.
