Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia01:30

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia

116
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia indicate a reduction or absence of typical behaviors and emotional responses found in healthy individuals, while positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functioning.
Negative Symptoms
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia manifest as deficits in normal emotional and behavioral functioning, profoundly impacting daily life. Individuals with schizophrenia often display a flat affect, characterized by a near-total absence of emotional expression,...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

238
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,...

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

431
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists01:30

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists

204
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.

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview01:26

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

663
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Intellectual Disability01:29

Intellectual Disability

146
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Summary

Cognitive impairment screening in multiple sclerosis (MS) remains low, even after education. Less than half of eligible persons with MS were screened, indicating education alone is insufficient for behavior change.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuropsychology
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Cognitive impairment (CI) is a significant disability in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS).
  • Underdiagnosis of CI in PwMS is common.
  • Current guidelines recommend regular cognitive screening for PwMS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To educate clinicians on multiple sclerosis (MS) cognitive impairment guidelines.
  • To implement cognitive screening for PwMS using a validated tool.
  • To improve the detection and management of CI in PwMS.

Main Methods:

  • Staff education on 2018 National Multiple Sclerosis Society guidelines for CI.
  • Cognitive screening of PwMS using the Processing Speed Test (PST).
  • Data collection over a 3-month period from 50 eligible patients.

Main Results:

  • Only 21 (42%) of eligible PwMS underwent cognitive screening.
  • Nine (42.9%) of screened PwMS were found to have cognitive impairment.
  • Cognitive impairment correlated with employment status and age, with lower scores in older and unemployed individuals.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive screening rates in PwMS remain low despite educational interventions.
  • Education alone is insufficient to change clinical behavior regarding CI screening.
  • Alternative strategies are needed to improve cognitive screening adherence in PwMS.
