Filter by:The potential impact of various dietary ingredients to improve cognitive function, mood, well-being, and overall levels of affects are largely undetermined. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a combination of two dietary supplements, Scutellaria baicalensis and Acacia catech, on cognitive function, well-being, mood, cognitive interferences, and inflammation.
- Based on research showing that cognitive-motor training programs help improve cognition in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, this program uses an interactive system to combine cognitive training with exercise. - The interactive system consists of wearable sensors and has the advantage of cognitive training without space constraints, and the cognitive training program consists of a total of five developed cognitive training games. - The program is expected to improve the cognitive abilities of the elderly and improve their physical abilities.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a shift in the use of at-home spaces for work, play and research. In the current study, the feasibility of implementing an at-home cognitive training tool called NeuroTrackerX, an anaglyph version of the three-dimensional multiple object tracking (3D-MOT) software NeuroTracker was examined, and with the intent of developing an effective protocol and determining the suitability of this tool for research purposes .
This research aims to evaluate the effect of cognitive stimulation (CS) on the functioning of the prefrontal cortex (PFC), seeking an analysis of both cerebral hemodynamics in neuroplasticity and aspects related to the initiation of neurodegenerative processes. The intervention presents an individual format and the participants are elderly without or with neurocognitive disorders (NCD). Concretely, to assess the effects of individual CS on global cognition, and mood, as well as to analyze neuronal activity with oxygenation, volume and blood flow in the brain, evaluating the impact of cognitive stimulation on brain hemodynamics. Participants in the intervention group receive two 45 min-session of CS per week for 12 weeks in addition to their treatment as usual. Participants in the control group will maintain their treatment as usual.
In this research study we want to learn more about whether taking Niagen, a daily supplement containing a form of Vitamin B3, will improve cognitive function, mood, and daily activity in people with Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
This study was designed as randomized double blind placebo study to investigate the efficacy of Erinacine A-enriched Hericium erinaceus mycelia for improvement of recognition, vision, and functional MRI alterations.
HYPOTHESIS In older adults who receive a direct intervention from the perspective of occupational therapy with a "Training Program in Daily Cognition", there are greater benefits, both in the overall cognitive performance and in the levels of daily cognition, that in the older adults who receive an intervention based on a "Traditional Cognitive Stimulation Program", achieving not only an improvement or maintenance of cognitive functions, but a generalization and transfer of that improvement in their daily lives and occupational performance. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of a "Training Program in Daily Cognition" in the elderly, to improve the levels of daily cognition and global cognitive performance. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Compare the difference in levels of daily cognition between the participants of the control group who carry out a "Traditional Cognitive Stimulation Program" and the participants of the experimental group who carry out a "Training Program in Daily Cognition". Analyze if there is a difference in the levels of global cognitive performance between the participants of the control group that carry out a "Traditional Cognitive Stimulation Program" and the participants of the experimental group that carry out a "Training Program in Daily Cognition". To study the relationship between standard psychometric tests that measure cognitive performance and the ECB Daily Cognition Battery Recognition Test that measures daily cognition. Analyze if there is a relationship between age and cognitive performance and the daily cognition of the elderly. Describe the relationship between the educational level that the participants possess and the cognitive performance and their daily cognition Evaluate the impact of gender in the elderly with cognitive performance and daily cognition. Check whether or not physical activity influences the cognitive performance and daily cognition of study participants. STUDY DESIGN: Experimental, randomized, stratified, prospective, longitudinal study using a parallel scheme of fixed allocation experimental group and control group. The protocol has been authorized by the Ethics Committee of the Salamanca health area to make the project possible.
Scientific evidence regarding the effects of Brain Gym®, on people with cognitive impairment is scarce. This study aimed at comparing the effects of a program based on Brain Gym® exercises against a fitness exercise program on the cognitive function, functional independence, physical fitness and quality of life in institutionalized older adults with cognitive impairment.
This observational cohort study in healthy volunteers establishes normative data for the German version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and investigates the possible impacts of demographics on the MoCA total score.
