The neural and computational bases of semantic cognition.

Nature reviews. Neuroscience
Semantic cognition refers to our ability to use, manipulate and generalize knowledge that is acquired over the lifespan to support innumerable verbal and non-verbal behaviours. This Review summarizes key findings and issues arising from a decade of r...

A Robotic Coach Architecture for Elder Care (ROCARE) Based on Multi-User Engagement Models.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The aging population with its concomitant medical conditions, physical and cognitive impairments, at a time of strained resources, establishes the urgent need to explore advanced technologies that may enhance function and quality of life. Recently, r...

Cognitive Test Scores in UK Biobank: Data Reduction in 480,416 Participants and Longitudinal Stability in 20,346 Participants.

PloS one
UK Biobank includes 502,649 middle- and older-aged adults from the general population who have undergone detailed phenotypic assessment. The majority of participants completed tests of cognitive functioning, and on average four years later a sub-grou...

Cognitively impaired elderly exhibit insulin resistance and no memory improvement with infused insulin.

Neurobiology of aging
Insulin resistance is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), although its role in AD etiology is unclear. We assessed insulin resistance using fasting and insulin-stimulated measures in 51 elderly subjects with no dementia (ND; n = 37) and with ...

Lokomat training in vascular dementia: motor improvement and beyond!

Aging clinical and experimental research
Vascular dementia (VaD) is a general term describing problems with reasoning, planning, judgment, memory, and other thought processes caused by brain damage from impaired blood flow to the brain. Cognitive rehabilitation and physical therapy are the ...

Predictors of schizophrenia spectrum disorders in early-onset first episodes of psychosis: a support vector machine model.

European child & adolescent psychiatry
Identifying early-onset schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) at a very early stage remains challenging. To assess the diagnostic predictive value of multiple types of data at the emergence of early-onset first-episode psychosis (FEP), various suppo...

The first step in using a robot in brain injury rehabilitation: patients' and health-care professionals' perspective.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: To evaluate the usability of a mobile telepresence robot (MTR) in a hospital training apartment (HTA). The MTR was manoeuvred remotely and was used for communication when assessing independent living skills, and for security monitoring of co...

Using a Social Robot to Engage Older Adults Living in Residential Care Homes in Cognitive Training: Preliminary Results from the SHAPES Project.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The employment of socially assistive robotics (SAR) is increasingly being considered a credible solution to support healthcare systems in dealing with an aging society. In this contribution, we explore the experience of older adults (n = 11) living i...

Identification and evaluation of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia using "Machine learning".

Psychiatria Danubina
BACKGROUND: Schizophrenia can be interpreted as a pathology involving the neocortex whose cognitive dysfunctions represent a central and persistent characteristic of the disease, as well as one of the more important symptoms in relation to the impair...

Principi di farmacodinamica e farmacocinetica nello switch tra antipsicotici: focus su cariprazina.

Rivista di psichiatria
Cariprazina {RGH-188; trans-N- [4- [2- [4- (2,3-diclorofenil) piperazin-1-il] etil] cicloesil] -N_, N_-dimetilurea cloridrato} è un antipsicotico atipico di nuova generazione, con un originale profilo farmacodinamico e farmacocinetico. Cariprazina ha...
