Cognitive studies on Parkinson's disease (PD) reveal abnormal semantic processing. Most research, however, fails to indicate which conceptual properties are most affected and capture patients' neurocognitive profiles. Here, we asked persons with PD, healthy controls, and individuals with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD, as a disease control group) to read concepts (e.

Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia globally, with the thalamus identified as a key area affected by the disease, particularly the 'limbic thalamus.'
- The study utilized advanced segmentation methods to analyze thalamic atrophy in early-onset AD (EOAD) and late-onset AD (LOAD), comparing it to healthy control groups through MRI scans of 88 AD patients and 58 controls.
- Results indicated significant thalamic atrophy in both EOAD and LOAD, with specific patterns of atrophy linked to cognitive deficits, suggesting that thalamic nuclei may be uniquely impacted based on the age of onset and related to various brain regions and cognitive functions.

Background: Dysexecutive syndrome is a prominent and functionally significant cognitive feature of schizophrenia. This study assesses and correlates executive function (EF) deficits and dysexecutive behavior (DB) in first-episode schizophrenia (FES) patients and healthy participants.
Methods: We evaluated 22 FES patients (aged 17-29 years, history of single episode of schizophrenia, treated with atypical antipsychotics) and 20 controls matched for gender, age, and education.

Classic physical interventions for cervical dystonia (CD) have focused on treating motor components or, on motor components and relaxation programs. However, no CD treatment study has focused on a relaxation program alone. We developed a pilot study to assess whether a therapy completely based on a relaxation program could improve the physical and mental symptomatologies of patients with CD.

In Chile, more than 180 thousand people (1% of the population) have some form of dementia. The figure should increase to approximately 600,000 (3% of Chileans) by 2050. This disease poses major challenges to the society.
