EFFICACY OF REPETITIVE TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION/TRANSCRANIAL DIRECT CURRENT STIMULATION IN COGNITIVE NEUROREHABILITATION
2008
Summary: Cognitive deficits are a common consequence of neurologic disease, in particular, of traumatic brain injury, stroke, and neurodegenerative disorders, and there is evidence that specific cognitive training may be effective in cognitive rehabilitation. Several investigations emphasize the fact that interacting with cortical activity, by means of cortical stimulation, can positively affect the short-term cognitive performance and improve the rehabilitation potential of neurologic patients. In this respect, preliminary evidence suggests that cortical stimulation may play a role in treating aphasia, unilateral neglect, and other cognitive disorders. Several possible mechanisms can accou…
Enhancing memory performance with rTMS in healthy subjects and individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment: the role of the right dorsolateral prefron…
2012
A debated question in the literature is the degree of anatomical and functional lateralization of the executive control processes subserved by the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during recognition memory retrieval. We investigated if transient inhibition and excitation of the left and right DLPFC at retrieval by means of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) modulate recognition memory performance in 100 healthy controls (HCs) and in 8 patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Recognition memory tasks of faces, buildings and words were used in different experiments. rTMS-inhibition of the right DLPFC enhanced recognition memory of verbal and non verbal material in…
The Lègami/Legàmi Service—An Experience of Psychological Intervention in Maternal and Child Care during COVID-19
2021
This study provides a descriptive analysis of the Lègami/Legàmi service, a free psychological support service in maternal and childcare, offered through the internet and by telephone that was initiated by the Italian Society of Pediatric Psychology (S.I.P.Ped.) during the COVID-19 medical emergency as an act of solidarity, first independently, and then in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Health. This paper presents findings related to the “universe” of people who called the toll-free service, from the sociocultural characteristics of the users to the information collected by the professionals during the psychological pathways until human satisfaction was achieved. We provide a ret…

Asu izjūtu meklēšana un mentālā noturība skrējēju grupā
2021
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot atbildes uz diviem pētījuma jautājumiem par to vai pastāv saistība starp asu izjūtu meklēšanu un mentālo noturību skrējēju grupā, kā arī vai pastāv atšķirības starp šiem rādītājiem dažādās skrējēju grupās. Pētījumā piedalījās 217 respondenti vecumā no 13 – 78 gadiem, kuri nodarbojas ar dažādu distanču skriešanu, dažādā regularitātē. Dati tika iegūti no 113 sievietēm (52,53%) un 104 vīriešiem (47,93%). Tika radītas apakšgrupas, kas sastāv no respondentiem, kuri vismaz vienu reizi mūžā ir noskrējuši ultramaratonu 42km < (n=97) un respondenti, kuri to nav izdarījuši ≤ 42km (n=120). Kā arī apakšgrupas, kurās garākā noskrietā distance bija ≤ 18 km (n=33) un garākā…
Approaching the comprehension of cognition in the old age: Study of its associated factors from a gender perspective
2023
Entre las 10 causas globales de muerte, la Organización Mundial de la Salud sitúa la demencia en séptimo lugar a nivel mundial, y en segundo lugar en los países de renta alta. Aparte de las implicaciones económicas de la demencia, el deterioro cognitivo en general supone un obstáculo para la calidad de vida de las personas con demencia. Las intervenciones en el estilo de vida pueden ser una estrategia eficaz para posponer la aparición de la demencia. Vivir un mayor número de años sin demencia supondría un aumento de la esperanza de vida saludable de la población. Dado que la demencia es la última etapa del deterioro cognitivo y que la demencia es normativa del proceso de envejecimiento, una…
Cognitive dysfunction in patients with cerebral microbleeds on T2*-weighted gradient-echo MRI
2004
Gradient echo T2*-weighted MRI has high sensitivity in detecting cerebral microbleeds, which appear as small dot-like hypointense lesions. Microbleeds are strongly associated with intracerebral haemorrhage, hypertension, lacunar stroke and ischaemic small vessel disease, and have generated interest as a marker of bleeding-prone microangiopathy. Microbleeds have generally been considered to be clinically silent; however, since they are located in widespread cortical and basal ganglia regions and are histologically characterized by tissue damage, we hypothesized that they would cause cognitive dysfunction. We therefore studied patients with microbleeds (n = 25) and a non-microbleed control gr…
L’impacte social de la mobilitat humana. Una visió no dicotòmica del canvi cultural i individual
2014
Aquest article reflexiona sobre el balanc de costos/beneficis en les societats, tant emissores de poblacio com receptores, i en les persones que les componen. Es treballa en tot moment des de la doble perspectiva grupal/individual. Es descriu el proces dinamic de canvi i l’impacte del canvi cultural i individual produit per l’aculturacio. Tot aco esguitat per algunes reflexions sorgides d’una societat nomada com la nostra.
