Nursing home residents with Huntington's disease: Heterogeneity in characteristics and functioning
CONCLUSIONS: The population of HD patients in NHs is heterogeneous in terms of patient and disease characteristics, and functioning. As a consequence, care needs are complex leading to implications for the required expertise of staff to provide adequate care and treatment.PMID:37269816 | DOI:10.1016/j.bandc.2023.106002 (Source: Brain and Cognition)

A bibliometric analysis of cerebral microbleeds and cognitive impairment
CONCLUSION: This bibliometric analysis reveals a strong link between CMBs and cognitive impairment-related diseases and that specific brain networks were affected by CMBs. This provides further insights into the possible mechanisms and causes of CMBs and cognitive impairment. The direct and indirect damage (such as oxidative stress and neuroinflammation) to the brain caused by CMBs, destruction of the frontal-subcortical circuits, elevated Cystatin C levels, and iron deposition are involved in the occurrence and development of cognitive impairment. CMBs may be a potential marker for detecting, quantifying, and predicting c...

Monocular eye patching modulates reorienting of covert attention in patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery stroke
Brain Cogn. 2023 May 28;169:106000. doi: 10.1016/j.bandc.2023.106000. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUnilateral brain lesions can lead to impaired contralesional attention and reduced ipsilesional and enhanced contralesional superior colliculus (SC) activity. We aimed to investigate whether modulation of SC activation via monocular eye patching can improve contralesional attention. Twenty left-hemispheric (LH) and 20 right-hemispheric (RH) patients with an acute or subacute middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke completed an endogenous version of the Posner cueing task twice, while the left or right eye was covered with an eye...

Reliability of self-reported dispositional mindfulness scales and their association with working memory performance and functional connectivity
Brain Cogn. 2023 May 23;169:106001. doi: 10.1016/j.bandc.2023.106001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe systematically investigated the link between trait mindfulness scores and functional connectivity (FC) features or behavioral data, to emphasize the importance of the reliability of self-report mindfulness scores. Sixty healthy young male participants underwent two functional MRI runs with three mindfulness or mind-wandering task blocks with an N-back task (NBT) block. The data from 49 participants (age: 23.3 ± 2.8) for whom two sets of the self-reported Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and NBT performance we...

Reliability and stability of oddball P300 amplitude in older adults: The role of stimulus sequence effects
Brain Cogn. 2023 May 19;169:105998. doi: 10.1016/j.bandc.2023.105998. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe P300 may be an individual difference marker of neuro-cognitive function, which due to age-related cognitive decline may be particularly useful in older adults. Recently, we reported effects of the local stimulus sequence in an oddball task (i.e., the number of non-targets that preceded a target) on P300 amplitude in young and older adults. The same older adults completed a second session of the task 4-8 months after the first session. Here, we examined the effect of the stimulus sequence on the between- and within-sessio...
