..The imaging data confirmed that the activity of the cerebellum is associated with judging spatial orientation. The theoretical and clinical implications of the findings are discussed...

..The pattern of imaging data obtained resembled the pattern of data observed in immature brains attempting to exercise cognitive control of behavior. Further theoretical and clinical implications of the findings are discussed...

..Very few studies have examined the comprehensive profile of prose memory deficits that challenges people with PD...

..In conjunction with earlier imaging findings, these three studies suggest that the prefrontal parietal network provides a robust neuroanatomical foundation upon which future dissimulation research may build...

..These results may have important implications for rehabilitation of verbal declarative memory deficits in schizophrenia...

..The findings suggested a higher level of neural activity in the right prefrontal and left inferior parietal regions during response regulation for the older adults than for the younger adults...

..Our findings suggest the importance of mental health aftercare in the post-epidemic period of disease epidemics...

..The findings of this study reveal the effect of valence on the neural activity associated with deception. Furthermore, the data also help to illustrate the complexity of the neural mechanisms underlying deception...

..The findings of this study provide insights into the cognitive processes underlying the interpersonal difficulties experienced by people in a sad mood, which may be predisposing factors in the development of clinical depression...

..These results are consistent with the value-based decision-making model and offer insights into the possible neural mechanisms underlying the different risk-taking attitudes of men and women...

..The results suggest that deception, in terms of feigning memory impairment, is not only more cognitively demanding than making unintentional errors but also utilizes different cognitive processes...

..Findings of this study suggest that when making risky decisions, there may be possible neuropsychological mechanisms underlying the change in impulsive and risk-taking behaviors during the course of natural ageing...

..While spouse abuse research has almost exclusively adopted a social perspective, an increasing body of imaging research is documenting neural contributions to violence...

..The results seem to suggest that attention functions may be differentially enhanced after exposing to the electromagnetic field emitted by mobile phones. Furthermore, this transient facilitation effect might be dose dependent...

..These findings supported the photon-count hypothesis and refuted the proposed photoperiod, melatonin, and phase-shifting models of SAD...

..The effect of these factors on the cognitive functioning of people with epilepsy is reviewed and discussed. Future directions of studies on this topic are also discussed...

..The purpose of this study was to provide a quantitative review of previous studies on this issue...

..This suggests that the generalizability of findings in regard to neural correlates of facial emotion recognition should consider the gender of the subjects...

..This suggests that the equivalent construct of the Trail Making and Color Trails Tests can only be examined and established within specific age and education parameters...

..The roles of these activations in response inhibition were discussed...

..Heroin use has been associated with increased impulsive behaviour. This study examined the lasting effect of heroin use on impulse control in a group of ex-heroin addicts...

..Furthermore, mastery of a language loaded on temporal sequencing like English may give an advantage in the completion of trail making tasks...

..This does not support the orthographic variation hypothesis and suggests that Chinese orthography does not generate a greater Stroop effect than English orthography...

..Our findings suggest that patients with schizophrenia in remission may still suffer from impairment of certain aspects of emotion recognition...

..The findings suggest that the neural substrates of comprehension of cognitive and affective information associated with risk-taking decision making may vary according to the impulsiveness among healthy individuals...

..These observations indicate that specific frontal and subcortical regions take part in attention orientation toward negative-affect information...

..In addition, visual organization also positively predicted FEI in these patients. Implications are discussed in terms of the neural substrates underlying ER...

..Our findings support this previous research by indicating that the major attentional deficit in schizophrenic patients is in a network that includes the anterior cingulate...

..These results indicate that the patterns of neural activation associated with language tasks are strongly influenced by education. Education appears to have enhanced cognitive processing efficiency in language tasks...

..These deficits cannot be explained by clinical or demographic variables. CONCLUSIONS: These findings further support the speculation of a verbal-non-verbal distinction for cognitive deficits in patients with MS in Hong Kong...

..Our findings supported our initial hypothesis that normal ageing does have a negative impact on confrontational naming. The decline in naming ability with ageing may be multifactorial...

..These findings suggested that impaired social cues recognition in people with schizophrenia may be a possible explanation for their impaired social functioning...

..e. an inhibition effect of punishment, reduced sensitivity to punishment but increased sensitivity to reward. The orbitofrontal areas play an important role in risk-taking decision-making processes...

..For classification accuracy, using the cut-off score criterion seemed more effective than using the below-chance criterion or response time. Implications for relying on chance criterion to identify deception are discussed...

....

..In order to provide empirical support for this practice, we examined the influence of different mood states on risk-taking tendencies that govern one's decision during critical life decisions...

..quot; Furthermore, measures of verbal and visual memory, switching attention, and verbal fluency may be particularly useful for differentiating abstinent ecstasy users from non-users...

..In this study, we used voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to explore the structural correlates of attention biases towards depression-related stimuli...

..Nevertheless, these findings may suggest that patients with paranoid and nonparanoid schizophrenia may have different profiles with respect to their performances on measures of attention...

..CONCLUSIONS: The findings provide further support for the role of sub-cortical brain structures (and the damage thereof) as well as probable frontal-limbic neural networks in recognizing basic emotions...

..This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of the Chinese version of Cognistat for patients with stroke in a Chinese community...

..Dipole analysis further supports that N400 and P600 (or long latency P300) can be respectively regarded as part of the generic 'imagery network' and as modality-specific processes of imagery...

..Longitudinal studies on patients with subcortical brain damage should be conducted to examine how cognitive reorganization post-stroke would affect emotion recognition...
