概括
脑血管反应率 (CVR) 在轻度认知障碍 (MCI) 患者中较低,表明潜在的脑血管问题. 较低的CVR与记忆,处理速度和执行功能的认知功能较差相关.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
背景情况:
- 脑血管健康对于衰老中的认知功能至关重要.
- 大脑血管活性 (CVR) 在正常和病态衰老中下降,可能导致认知能力下降.
- 了解CVR提供了对认知健康和神经退行症的见解.
研究的目的:
- 在轻度认知障碍 (MCI) 现型中使用先进的MRI调查CVR.
- 为了比较遗忘记性MCI (aMCI),非遗忘记性MCI (naMCI) 和老年人对照中的CVR.
主要方法:
- 在41名参与者 (20对照组,11aMCI,10mMCI) 中,使用多频段多回声屏息任务功能性MRI评估CVR.
- 所有参与者都进行了神经心理测试.
- 统计分析包括t测试,ANOVA/ANCOVA和CVR和认知指标之间的部分相关性.
主要成果:
- 与对照组相比,aMCI和mMCI组的CVR显著较低.
- naMCI显示了aMCI和对照之间的中间CVR模式.
- 特定大脑区域的CVR与处理速度,执行功能和记忆有正相关.
结论:
- 与对照组相比,MCI表型存在区域CVR差异.
- aMCI可能表现出比MAMCI更低的CVR.
- 在MCI表型中,脑血管异常被建议.

Cognitive Development During Adulthood
160
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,...

Cognitive Enhancers: Cholinesterase Inhibitors and NMDA Receptor Antagonists
159
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.
