[ 1 ] - O12: Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, Dozing at the Wheel and Road Safety
It has been documented that nearly 25-30% of automobile collisions are potentially associated with driving fatigue. We have little control over sleep propensity when chronically sleep-deprived or suffer from an underlying sleep insufficiency. Drowsy driving is not only a personal but also a public hazard and commercial drivers with alternate shifts are critically at risk. People on monotonous d...
[ 2 ] - Repetitive Arm Movements During Sleep: A Polysomnographic Assessment
Sleep-related movement disorders should be differentiated from parasomnias, sleep-associated behavioral disorders, and epilepsy. Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard in evaluating such disorders. Periodic leg movement disorder during sleep (PLMS), hypnic jerks, bruxism, rhythmic movement disorder, restless legs syndrome, and nocturnal leg cramps have broadly been discu...
[ 3 ] - Operationalizing Cognitive Science and Technologies’ Research and Development the “Brain and Cognition Study Group (BCSG)” Initiative from Shiraz, Iran
Recent advances in brain and cognitive science studies have revolutionized concepts in neural dynamics, regulating mechanisms, coding systems and information processing networks which govern our function and behavior. Hidden aspects of neurological and psychiatric diseases are being understood and hopes for their treatment are emerging. Although the two comprehensive mega-projects on brain mapp...

[ 7 ] - بررسی و مقایسه مؤلفه‌های زبانی کودکان 7 تا 12 سالۀ فلج مغزی با کودکان سالم با تمرکز برنقشه‌های توپوگرافیک الکتروآنسفالوگرافی کمّی
فلج مغزی یک اختلال حرکتی و وضعیتی است که در نتیجۀ یک ضایعه مغزی غیر پیش‌رونده ایجاد می‌شود و علائم آن به‌شکل آسیب‌های رشدی نمایان می‌شود. هدف پژوهش حاضر ارزیابی الگوهای الکتروفیزیولوژیک برآمده از نوار مغزی کمّی حین انجام تکلیف زبانی و گفتاری و تحلیل مقایسه‌ای مؤلفه‌های کارکرد زبانی و الگوهای فضایی مشترک استخراج‌شده بین کودکان فلج مغزی و سالم است. در این پژوهش، 17 کودک فلج مغزی و 40 کودک سالم ب...
[ 8 ] - Cortical Activity During Postural Recovery in Response to Predictable and Unpredictable Perturbations in Healthy Young and Older Adults: A Quantitative EEG Assessment
Introduction: To investigate the effects of predictable and unpredictable external perturbations on cortical activity in healthy young and older adults. Methods: Twenty healthy older and 19 healthy young adults were exposed to predictable and unpredictable external perturbations, and their cortical activity upon postural recovery was measured using a 32-channel quantitative encephalography. Th...
[ 9 ] - Evaluation of Pain Tolerance Threshold Following Anti TNF-α after Induction REM Sleep Deprivation in a Male Wistar Rat Model (In press)
Background and Aim: Tumor Necrose Factor-alpha (TNF-α) changes by REM sleep deprivation. Some believe that TNF-α is a biomarker in the deprivation of REM sleep. The patients with insomnia could be better after using Anti TNF-α or Infliximab (IFX), on the other hand, IFX effects on Patient Tolerance Threshold (PTT). Trying to manage the hospital inpatients’ pain is one of the common aims special...
[ 10 ] - Psychometric Evaluation of Self-Assessment Persian Version of Alzheimer’s Questionnaire (AQ)
Background: Mild Cognitive impairment (MCI) is a primary disorder intensifies by aging. Rapid diagnosis of MCI can prevent its progression towards the development of dementia. Thus, the present study was conducted to evaluate the psychometric features of the self-assessment Persian version of Alzheimer's questionnaire (AQ) in the elderly to detect MCI.
