Care tasks and impact of caring in primary family caregivers: a cross-sectional study from a nursing perspective
(Elsevier, 2021)Family caregivers of persons with dementia often experience a negative impact on their health. More studies based on nursing theories are needed to improve the provision of care -
A case study on polypharmacy and depression in a 75-year-old woman with visual deficits and charles bonnet syndrome
(MDPI, 2022)Depression is one of the most prevalent pathologies in older adults. Its diagnosis and treatment are complex due to different factors that intervene in its development and progression, including intercurrent organic ... -
Changes in brain activity related to episodic memory retrieval in adults with single domain amnestic mild cognitive impairment
(Elsevier, 2021)The present fMRI study aimed to characterize the performance and the brain activity changes related to episodic memory retrieval in adults with single domain aMCI (sdaMCI), relative to cognitively unimpaired adults. ... -
Ciencias cognitivas y educación : una propuesta de diálogo
(Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, 2021)En este trabajo se realiza una propuesta de comunicación transdisciplinar entre las ciencias cognitivas y la educación, tal y como se perfilan en el siglo XXI. En un primer lugar se contextualizan estos procesos de ... -
Cognitive control activity is modulated by the magnitude of interference and pre-activation of monitoring mechanisms
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-12-20)The Simon task is used to study interference from irrelevant spatial information. Interference is manifested by longer reaction times when the required response –based on non-spatial features- is spatially incompatible ... -
Cognitive frailty: an update
(Frontiers Media, 2021)This review article provides an update of the empirical research on cognitive fragility conducted in the last four years. The studies retrieved were classified in four different categories. The first category includes ... -
Combining a cognitive concurrent task with a motor or motor-cognitive task : which is better to differentiate levels of affectation in Parkinson’s disease?
(Hindawi, 2020)Cognitive decline usually coexists with motor impairment in PD. Multitask settings provide appropriate measures to evaluate the complex interaction between motor and cognitive impairments. The main objective was to analyze ... -
Dementia and challenging behaviors in gerontological centers : a case report
(MDPI, 2019)Among the main challenges in geriatric and gerontological centers, we consider, central, the individualized attention to those elderly persons with challenging behaviors, to the extent that it is possible to design preventive ... -
Design of optimal nonlinear network controllers for Alzheimer's disease
(PLOS, 2018-05-24)Brain stimulation can modulate the activity of neural circuits impaired by Alzheimer's disease (AD), having promising clinical benefit. However, all individuals with the same condition currently receive identical brain ... -
Design process and preliminary psychometric study of a video game to detect cognitive impairment in senior adults
(PEERJ INC, 2017)Introduction Assessment of episodic memory has been traditionally used to evaluate potential cognitive impairments in senior adults. Typically, episodic memory evaluation is based on personal interviews and pen-and-paper ... -
DNA methylation changes in fibromyalgia suggest the role of the immune-inflammatory response and central sensitization
(MDPI, 2021)Fibromyalgia (FM) has been explained as a result of gene-environment interactions. The present study aims to verify DNA methylation differences in eleven candidate genome regions previously associated to FM, evaluating ... -
DNA methylation changes in genes involved in inflammation and depression in fibromyalgia: a pilot study
(De Gruyter, 2021)Objectives: The present pilot study aims to investigate DNA methylation changes of genes related to fibromyalgia (FM) development and its main comorbid symptoms, including sleep impairment, inflammation, depression and ... -
Does empirically derived classification of individuals with subjective cognitive complaints predict dementia?
(MDPI, 2019)Background: Early identification of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in people reporting subjective cognitive complaints (SCC) and the study of progression of cognitive decline are important issues in dementia research. ... -
Dual‑task performance in old adults: cognitive, functional, psychosocial and socio‑demographic variables
(Springer, 2021)Background Dual tasking, or the ability to executing two tasks simultaneously, has been used in recent research to predict cognitive impairments, physical frailty, and has been linked with cognitive frailty in old ... -
Effects of aging and involuntary capture of attention on event-related potentials associated with the processing of and the response to a target stimulus
(Frontiers Media, 2014)The main aim of the present study was to assess whether aging modulates the effects of involuntary capture of attention by novel stimuli on performance, and on event-related potentials (ERPs) associated with target ... -
Effects of Cognitive Reserve on Cognitive Performance in a Follow-Up Study in Older Adults With Subjective Cognitive Complaints. The Role of Working Memory
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Objective: Analyze the effects of CR on cognitive performance in adults with subjective cognitive complaints at follow-up. Method: We analyzed the factorial structure of the three constructs defined in cognitive performance ... -
Effects of intensity, attention and medication on auditory‑evoked potentials in patients with fibromyalgia
(Springer Nature, 2020)Fibromyalgia (FM) has been associated to an increased processing of somatosensory stimuli, but its generalization to other sensory modalities is under discussion. To clarify this, we studied auditory event-related potentials ... -
Effects of load and maintenance duration on the time course of information encoding and retrieval in working memory: from perceptual analysis to post-categorization processes
(Frontiers Media, 2014)Working memory (WM) involves three cognitive events: information encoding, maintenance, and retrieval; these are supported by brain activity in a network of frontal, parietal and temporal regions. Manipulation of WM load ... -
El nivel de vocabulario como indicador de reserva cognitiva en la evaluación del deterioro cognitivo ligero
(Universidad de Murcia, 2014)El presente trabajo estudia el papel del vocabulario, como indicador de reserva cognitiva,en la evaluación del Deterioro Cognitivo Ligero (DCL). Participaron 326 adultos mayores de 50 años, clasificados en dos ... -
Electrophysiological Correlates of Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment in a Simon Task
(PLoS, 2013-12-05)Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) represents a prodromal stage of Alzheimer`s disease (AD), especially when additional cognitive domains are affected (Petersen et al., 2009). Thus, single-domain amnestic MCI (sdaMCI) ...
