Disassociation of verbal learning and hippocampal volume in type 2 diabetes and major depression
ConclusionsThe relationship between hippocampal volume and performance on the California Verbal Learning Test is decoupled in subjects with type 2 diabetes and major depression and this decoupling may contribute to poor verbal learning and memory performance in this study population.

UK medical teaching about ageing is improving but there is still work to be done: the Second National Survey of Undergraduate Teaching in Ageing and Geriatric Medicine
Conclusions: there was an improvement in teaching and assessment of learning outcomes in ageing and geriatric medicine for UK undergraduates between 2008 and 2013. However, further work is needed to increase the amount of teaching time devoted to ageing and to improve teaching around elder abuse and the domains of health used in CGA.

Design considerations for a theory-driven exergame-based rehabilitation program to improve walking of persons with stroke
Abstract Virtual rehabilitation approaches for promoting motor recovery has attracted considerable attention in recent years. It appears to be a useful tool to provide beneficial and motivational rehabilitation conditions. Following a stroke, hemiparesis is one of the most disabling impairments and, therefore, many affected people often show substantial deficits in walking abilities. Hence, one of the major goals of stroke rehabilitation is to improve patients' gait characteristics and hence to regain their highest possible level of walking ability. Because previous studies indicate a relationship between walking ...

Vision and proprioception in action monitoring by young and older adults.
This study investigated the individual's capability to discriminate the directions of seen cursor motions and felt hand movements under a visuo-motor rotation paradigm and its age-related variation. Young and older participants performed 3-stroke arm movements on a digitizing tablet without seeing their arm. The visual feedback of the second stroke was rotated randomly by various angles ranging from -30° to 30° and displayed on a monitor. Older adults were poorer in discrimination than young adults. In both age groups, the felt hand direction was shifted toward the seen cursor direction (i.e., visual capture) by approxi...
