Association between two distinct executive tasks in schizophrenia: a functional transcranial Doppler sonography study
BACKGROUND Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder involving impairments in executive functioning, which are important cognitive processes that can be assessed by planning tasks such as the Stockings of Cambridge (SOC), and tasks of rule learning/abstraction such as the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). We undertook this study to investigate the association between performance during separa...
متن کاملStimulus rate increases lateralisation in linguistic and non-linguistic tasks measured by functional transcranial Doppler sonography
Studies to date that have used fTCD to examine language lateralisation have predominantly used word or sentence generation tasks. Here we sought to further assess the sensitivity of fTCD to language lateralisation by using a metalinguistic task which does not involve novel speech generation: rhyme judgement in response to written words. Line array judgement was included as a non-linguistic visu...
متن کاملInvestigating language lateralization during phonological and semantic fluency tasks using functional transcranial Doppler sonography
Although there is consensus that the left hemisphere plays a critical role in language processing, some questions remain. Here we examine the influence of overt versus covert speech production on lateralization, the relationship between lateralization and behavioural measures of language performance and the strength of lateralization across the subcomponents of language. The present study used ...
متن کاملNoninvasive Determination of Language Lateralization by Functional Transcranial Doppler Sonography
Background and Purpose—Functional transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (fTCD) can assess event-related changes in cerebral blood flow velocities and, by comparison between sides, can provide a measure of hemispheric perfusional lateralization. It is easily applicable, insensitive to movement artifacts, and can be used in patients with less than perfect cooperation. In the present study we inves...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler sonography in fulminant hepatic failure.
UNLABELLED The clinical course of patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) is often worsened by the presence of cerebral edema and endocranial hypertension. In spite of the multiple studies using Transcranial Doppler Sonography (TCDS), few have shown the cerebral blood flow (CBF) pattern among patients with encephalopathy resulting from FHF. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to characterize th...
