SPECT brain blood flow changes with continuous ligand infusion during previously learned WCST performance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Performance of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and related brain-activation patterns reflect both task learning and execution. Normal subjects learned the WCST prior to performance during slow SPECT ligand infusion. Blood flow increased in bilateral inferior frontal, right middle and inferior parietal cortices. Activity decreased in hippocampi, temporal cortex, anterior cingulate and caudate.

Is there a cortical blood flow redistribution pattern related with perseverative error in schizophrenia?
BACKGROUND We studied relative cortical blood flow (relCBF) patterns associated to correct performance (CP) and perseverative error (PE) during Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) execution, in controls and patients with schizophrenia. SUBJECTS AND METHODS relCBF (regional cortical blood flow (rCBF) / whole cortex blood flow) of 10 well defined cortical regions was measured in 18 patients with...
متن کاملComplications after dipyridamole infusion in myocardial perfusion SPECT and correlation with homodynamic changes [Persian]
Introduction: In Iran dipyridamole is the main agent used for coronary dilatation before myocardial perfusion SPECT. This study tries to evaluate the side effects after dipyridamole infusion and its relation with hemodynamic changes. Methods: We studied 300 patients who referred to myocardial perfusion scan. The exclusion criteria were: 1) AV block degree 2 or more, 2) Asthma 3) Sick sinu...
متن کاملAssociation 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 کاملWisconsin Card Sorting Test synchronizes the prefrontal, temporal and posterior association cortex in different frequency ranges and extensions.
Current findings show some brain regions consistently related to performance of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). An increase of local cerebral blood flow or metabolic demands has been detected in those regions. Functional integration of the neuronal circuits that subserve the task performance, based upon the identification of the oscillations and their distributed cerebral sources, has n...
متن کاملCholinergic stimulation alters performance and task-specific regional cerebral blood flow during working memory.
Modulation of the cholinergic neurotransmitter system results in changes in memory performance, including working memory (WM), in animals and in patients with Alzheimer disease. To identify associated changes in the functional brain response, we studied performance measures and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using positron emission tomography (PET) in healthy subjects during performance of...
