Brief Computer-Based Information Processing Measures are Linked to White Matter Integrity in Pediatric-Onset Multiple Sclerosis
Background and Purpose: Pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) is a demyelinating disorder with unique clinical challenges. A brief computer-administered cognitive screening battery measuring processing speed (Cogstate) and the Brief International Cognitive Assessment in MS (BICAMS) detect cognitive […]
Exercise effects on cognitive functioning in young adults with first-episode psychosis: FitForLife
Background Exercise has mood-enhancing effects and can improve cognitive functioning, but the effects in first-episode psychosis (FEP) remain understudied. We examined the feasibility and cognitive effects of exercise in FEP. Method Multi-center, open-label intervention study. Ninety-one […]
Monitoring cognitive change in multiple sclerosis using a computerized cognitive battery
Background Cognitive monitoring that can detect short-term change in multiple sclerosis is challenging. Computerized cognitive batteries such as the CogState Brief Battery can rapidly assess commonly affected cognitive domains. Objectives The purpose of this study was […]
Selenium Status Is Not Associated with Cognitive Performance: A Cross-Sectional Study in 154 Older Australian Adults
Selenium was suggested to play a role in modulating cognitive performance and dementia risk. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the association between selenium status and cognitive performance, as well as inflammatory and neurotrophic markers in […]
Necessity of technicians for computerized neuropsychological assessment devices in multiple sclerosis
Objective Determine the influence of technician supervision on computer-administered cognitive tests in multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods Eighty MS patients underwent assessment using the CogState Brief Battery (CSBB) and the Cleveland Clinic Cognitive Battery (C3B). Each was […]
