概括
创伤性脑损伤 (TBI) 导致长期的认知和福祉缺陷,特别影响中年成年人的口头记忆. 这些影响不会随着年龄的增长而恶化,这挑战了关于TBI加剧衰老的先前假设.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 心理学 心理学 心理学
背景情况:
- 创伤性脑损伤 (TBI) 对衰老认知的长期影响受到辩论.
- 对TBI对衰老的影响的受控研究有限.
- 了解TBI对整个生命周期的认知和福祉的影响至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 研究中年和老年人中中度至重度TBI对认知和福祉的长期影响.
- 将TBI患者的认知功能和福祉与非TBI对照组进行比较.
- 探索TBI后年龄,认知和福祉之间的关系.
主要方法:
- 一项横截面研究,将143名中度至重度TBI (≥40岁,受伤后6-33年) 的参与者与71名非TBI对照进行比较.
- 排除具有混杂性并发症的参与者.
- 进行神经心理测试和健康测试 (情绪困扰,睡眠,HRQoL).
主要成果:
- 老年和TBI都独立地与多个领域的认知能力低下有关.
- 与对照人群相比,TBI患者在中年 (40-60岁) 时表现出明显较差的语言学习和记忆.
- 在TBI和老年成人 (70s-90s) 的对照组之间没有发现显著的口头记忆差异.
- 在所有年龄段,TBI组报告了更高的情绪困扰,更差的睡眠质量和更低的身体HRQoL.
- 在TBI组中,较差的身体HRQoL与较差的认知相关.
结论:
- 中度至严重的TBI会导致认知和福祉的持续长期损害.
- 与对照人群相比,中年成人TBI后的口头学习和记忆缺陷更为明显.
- 创伤损伤对认知和福祉的影响似乎不会被自然衰老过程加剧.
- 针对中年患有TBI的成年人的口头记忆的干预措施很重要.
- 对所有TBI患者来说,对认知,福祉和活动参与的长期支持至关重要.

Cognitive Development During Adulthood
22
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,...

Traumatic Memory
46
Emotionally traumatic events often lead to memories that are exceptionally vivid and enduring, sometimes persisting with remarkable clarity throughout an individual's life. A classic example of this phenomenon is a person who survives a car accident. Even years later, they may recall every detail of the event with startling accuracy — the screeching of the tires, the jarring impact, and the acrid smell of burning rubber. Such vividness contrasts sharply with how an individual...

Long-term Depression
2.4K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Higher Mental Functions of Brain: Learning and Memory
519
Memory is one of the most vital higher mental functions of the brain. Memory is closely related to learning because it enables us to retain information and experiences from our past to use them in our present life. It also helps us to remember facts, events, and skills, such as riding a bike or swimming. There are two types of memory — declarative memory, which involves memorizing facts or events, and procedural memory, which enables us to remember how to do something like writing or...

Amnesia
75
Amnesia is a condition marked by long-term memory loss, which impairs the ability to recall past events or create new memories.
The severity and duration of memory loss vary depending on the type and underlying cause. Amnesia is classified into two main types: retrograde and anterograde.
Retrograde amnesia is marked by the loss of memories formed before the onset of the condition. Patients may recall distant past events but often forget those occurring shortly before the incident.
Anterograde...
