Functional brain network efficiency predicts intelligence.
The neuronal causes of individual differences in mental abilities such as intelligence are complex and profoundly important. Understanding these abilities has the potential to facilitate their enhancement. The purpose of this study was to identify the functional brain network characteristics and their relation to psychometric intelligence. In particular, we examined whether the functional netwo...
متن کاملOdor identification deficit predicts clinical conversion from mild cognitive impairment to dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between olfactory and cognitive functions in subjects affected by mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to investigate whether olfactory deficits might reflect the likelihood of conversion from MCI to dementia. In this longitudinal study conducted on a sample of MCI outpatients, CA-SIT Smell Identification Test was administered to 88 MCI subje...
متن کاملIncreased tau protein differentiates mild cognitive impairment from geriatric depression and predicts conversion to dementia.
Significantly increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) total tau (t-tau) and phosphorylated at threonine 181 tau (p-tau) levels were frequently found in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who have an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Though MCI often overlaps with depressive symptoms making early diagnosis difficult, to date no CSF marker has been probed to support th...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Anosognosia predicts default mode network hypometabolism and clinical progression to dementia
OBJECTIVE To identify the pathophysiologic mechanisms and clinical significance of anosognosia for cognitive decline in mild cognitive impairment. METHODS We stratified 468 patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment into intact and impaired awareness groups, determined by the discrepancy between the patient and the informant score on the Everyday Cognition questionnaire. Voxel-based lin...
