Executive n-back tasks for the neuropsychological assessment of working memory
(Elsevier, 2015)
Working memory (WM) has been defined as a cerebral function which allows us to maintain and manipulate information “online”. One of the most widely used paradigms to assess WM is the n-back test. Despite its extensive ...

Chronic adult-onset of growth hormone/IGF-I hypersecretion improves cognitive functions and LTP and promotes neuronal differentiation in adult rats
(Wiley, 2020)
Aim Besides their metabolic and endocrine functions, the growth hormone (GH) and its mediated factor, the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), have been implicated in different brain functions, including neurogenesis. ...

Genetic factors influencing frontostriatal dysfunction and the development of dementia in Parkinson's disease
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
The dual syndrome hypothesis for cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) establishes a dichotomy between a frontrostriatal dopamine-mediated syndrome, which leads to executive deficits, and a posterior cortical ...

Trait- and state-dependent cortical inhibitory deficits in bipolar disorder
(Wiley, 2016)
Objectives Euthymic patients with bipolar disorder (BD) have deficits in cortical inhibition. However, whether cortical inhibitory deficits are trait- or state-dependent impairments is not yet known and their relationship ...
