Cognitive reserve and individual differences in brain tumor patients

چکیده
Abstract The aim of the paper is to determine effects cognitive reserve on brain tumor patients’ functions and, specifically, if helps patients cope with negative tumors their functions. We retrospectively studied a large sample around 700 patients, diagnosed tumor. Each received an MRI examination, and performed battery tests measuring abilities before they underwent neurosurgery. To account for complexity reserve, we construct our proxy by combining three predictors performance, namely education, occupation, environment where live. Our statistical analysis controls type, side, site, size lesion, fluid intelligence quotient, age gender, in order tease out effect each these tests. Clinical neurological variables have expected find robust positive performance. Moreover, that modulates volume lesion: additional impact increase performance less severe higher reserve. also substantial differences depending cerebral hemisphere lesion occurred function considered. For several functions, stronger lesions left than whose are right hemisphere. development prevention strategies personalized rehabilitation interventions will benefit from contribution understanding role addition variables, as one factors determining individual caused tumors.

Brain and cognitive reserve.
The concept of reserve is well-recognized in medicine. Various organs of the body, for example the kidney and the liver, manifest reserve such that significant damage can occur to the organ without impacting on clinical function. The very fact that an individual can donate one kidney and yet remain healthy attests to this fact. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is generally considered to be ...
متن کاملStructural brain differences between monolingual and multilingual patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer disease: Evidence for cognitive reserve.
Two independent lines of research provide evidence that speaking more than one language may 1) contribute to increased grey matter in healthy younger and older adults and 2) delay cognitive symptoms in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer disease (AD). We examined cortical thickness and tissue density in monolingual and multilingual MCI and AD patients matched (within Diagnosis Groups) ...
متن کاملIndividual differences in cognitive flexibility.
I s it better to be flexible, or persistent? A colleague once said that the secret to success in science is perseveration (no, not mere perseverence—that wouldn’t get you very far at all). Yet we all believe that the highest levels of cognitive function are associated with extreme flexibility—the ability to juggle many things at once and not get hung up on just one. Indeed, this ability to jugg...
متن کاملIndividual differences in cognitive arithmetic.
Unities in the processes involved in solving arithmetic problems of varying operations have been suggested by studies that have used both factor-analytic and information-processing methods. We designed the present study to investigate the convergence of mental processes assessed by paper-and-pencil measures defining the Numerical Facility factor and component processes for cognitive arithmetic ...
