Age-Related Neurodegeneration and Memory Loss in Down Syndrome

Down syndrome (DS) is a condition where a complete or segmental chromosome 21 trisomy causes variable intellectual disability, and progressive memory loss and neurodegeneration with age. Many research groups have examined development of the brain in DS individuals, but studies on age-related changes should also be considered, with the increased lifespan observed in DS. DS leads to pathological ...

Evaluation of self-esteem in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder based on event-related potential

Background: Self-esteem, the value we place on ourselves, has been associated with effects on health, and life satisfaction. Many studies reported that children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) suffer from low self-esteem has been associated with negative life outcomes.

Event-related Evoked Potential in Young Adults

P3 component of event related potential reflects memory and decision making processes. It has been applied as an index of information processing in a wide variety of normal and cognitive impaired subjects. Scalp P3 was elicited in· 24 male neurologically and audiologically normal young subjects of 17-20 years (Av. ·17.7) of age. Standard auditory 'Oddball' paradigm involving simple discriminati...
