Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists

671
Cognitive enhancers, also known as "smart drugs," are substances used to enhance memory, mental alertness, and concentration. These can be natural or synthetic and improve cognition in conditions like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. Some common examples include caffeine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, modafinil, arecoline, donepezil, vortioxetine, and piracetam. These enhancers work on the principle of synaptic plasticity and altered circuit function.

Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

935
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Cognitive impairment is common after stroke, particularly in women and older adults. Factors like stroke severity and reduced functional ability significantly increase the risk of cognitive deficits, impacting recovery and quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Clinical Neurology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Cognitive impairment frequently complicates stroke recovery.
  • Identifying associated factors is crucial for risk stratification in stroke survivors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate cognitive outcomes in stroke outpatients.
  • To examine links between clinical/demographic variables, vascular risk factors, depression, and functional ability.
  • To characterize the neuropsychological profile of stroke patients.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study design was employed.
  • Participants with first-ever ischemic stroke (6-10 months prior) underwent neuropsychological assessment.
  • Screening for depressive symptoms and functional ability was conducted.

Main Results:

  • Cognitive impairment showed significant associations with female gender, older age, stroke severity, and functional ability.
  • The cognitive impairment group displayed widespread deficits in attention, visuospatial organization, verbal functions, and verbal memory compared to controls.

Conclusions:

  • High prevalence of cognitive impairment post-stroke, especially in women and older individuals.
  • Severe stroke and poor functional ability are linked to increased cognitive impairment.
  • Affected cognitive domains can hinder recovery, independence, and quality of life.
