1. 26. Obsessive-compulsive disorder : novel insights on executive functions, gut microbiome, and genetics

   Författare :Long-Long Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by intrusive thoughts and images, and repetitive, time-consuming compulsions.

3. 27. Human aging, dopamine, and cognition : molecular and functional imaging of executive functions and implicit learning

   Författare :Anna Rieckmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Age-related deficits are legion in task switching, updating of information in working memory (WM) and inhibiting irrelevant information, collectively referred to as executive functions. Executive functions are tightly coupled to the dopaminergic system, and marked dopamine (DA) losses are observed across adulthood and aging. LÄS MER

4. 28. Functional communication and non-linguistic factors in severe aphasia : Associations and assessment

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aphasia; stroke; functional communication; executive function; self-efficacy; resilience; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Sammanfattning : Severe post-stroke aphasia implies impairment of the ability to speak and write, and impairments of language comprehension, severely restricting the communication of the individual. Intervention in severe aphasia often entails aiming for access to meaningful social interaction and participation, in spite of the linguistic impairments. LÄS MER

   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cognitive training; aging; old adults; executive function; life-span; individual differences; episodic memory; inhibition; shifting; updating; cognitive control; strategy training; mnemonics; predictors; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Aging, also in the absence of pathological conditions, is associated with cognitivedecline, especially in so called fluid abilities, such as episodic memory andexecutive functions. Due to an ongoing demographic shift, a larger part of thepopulation will reach higher ages, and more people will be affected by age-relatedcognitive decline. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Clarification on how cognitive, executive and emotional functioning contribute to symptom reduction or improved function in childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is needed to find additional treatment methods. The clinical utility of continuous performance test (CPT) (Conners’ CPT-II, QbTest) to complement rating scales in diagnostic assessments and treatment evaluations (QbTest) was examined using one dataset from clinical records of 118 treatment-seeking youth (ADHD, n = 80; non-ADHD, n = 38) (diagnostic) and one dataset of 56 youth treated for ADHD (treatment evaluation) (Paper I).
