Filter by:This study is being performed to generate data regarding brain vibration /oscillation differences between individuals with dementia and normal controls. The purpose of this study is to compare signal patterns generated from the impact on the scalp from these brain oscillation patterns from individuals with Alzheimer's disease, Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration, Mild Cognitive Impairment and Age-Matched Normal Controls.
Many cancer survivors experience treatment-related impairments in mental abilities such as memory, attention, and concentration (known as cognition). Research indicates that physical activity can improve cognition in healthy adults; however, little is known about whether physical activity can improve cognition among cancer survivors. This study will test whether a physical activity intervention results in improvements in cognition among breast cancer survivors, which may lead to interventions to improve cognition.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) improves the cognitive function in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a nicotine patch as a treatment for problems with attention, learning and memory in breast cancer patients who are 1-5 years post chemotherapy.
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of high and low intensity exercise for those with mild memory loss and pre-diabetes. The investigators will also examine the effects of this exercise on certain proteins and hormones in body fluids, and on brain structure and function using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recent studies indicate that exercise improves memory and thinking abilities for adults with mild memory loss OR pre-diabetes. This study examines the effects of exercise on people with mild memory loss AND pre-diabetes.
The aim of the study is to show that regular playing with the logic games developed in the framework of the M3W (Mental Wellness Toolset) project (https://m3w-project.eu/) can prevent mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. The secondary aim of the study is to find correlations between the results of the games and the standard assessments for dementia and MCI screening such as the Rey Verbal Learning Test.
The relationship among hypertension, aging and cognitive decline is complex and not completely understood. Purpose of this project will be evaluating early markers of cognitive deterioration in patients with arterial hypertension. In particular, this cross-sectional observational study will be articulated in three phases: 1. Neuropsychological evaluation of general cognitive abilities 2. Identification and measurement of specific biomarker levels 3. Correlation among hypertension, cognitive abilities and biomarkers.
The current study will test the effectiveness of a computerized cognitive training program on auditory memory and attention in patients with mild cognitive impairment. Practice effects will also be examined as a moderator of treatment response.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of Sodium Oligo-mannurarate (GV-971) in 36-week treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
The purpose of this study is to understand how elderly individuals regain their cognitive skills following general anesthesia. The investigators will compare an age stratified group of volunteers who will be evaluated with a series of cognitive tests and a functional MRI. The participants will then be administered general anesthesia for two hours. The investigators will then assess the participants using state of the art tools to determine when participants return to their cognitive baseline.
