Frequency specific deficits in schizophrenia
… for understanding functional connectivity deficits and frequency specific deficits in schizophrenia. Coherence between different lobes of the brain from task related data at different frequency bands was investigated in patients with Schizophrenia (SP) and Healthy Normal Volunteers (HNV). …

An Assessment of Deficits in Simple Discrimination Following Frontal Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats: The Relative Contribution of Motor Deficits, Motivation Deficits and Neuroprotective Drug Administration
… administering a neuroprotectant could alleviate deficits in discrimination. Long-Evans rats were trained on a simple visual discrimination task and a progressive ratio schedule of reinforcement (PR). After assessing their baseline discrimination performance, motor ability and PR performance, they …

Cognitive deficits in chronic fatigue syndrome
This thesis focuses on cognition in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Many patients report difficulties such as `fuzzy' thinking, poor memory, reduced attention, and slowness of thought. Whilst much of the earlier literature presented conflicting results, more recently the theory that there is slowed …

Neural Circuitry Deficits Associated With Dysfunctional Myelin
<p>In the current study, we have generated mutant mice that lack Claudin 11 (Cldn11) tight junctions in CNS myelin sheaths. In myelin sheaths, Cldn11 forms tight junctions located along the outer and inner edges of the membrane spiral, preventing ions and small molecules from entering the …

Adult chemical dependency and childhood communication deficits
… describing their histories of communication deficits and substance abuse. Childhood histories of communication deficits were reported by 11% (N = 16) of the 148 respondents. Of those, articulation, language, and undefined communication deficits were reported at frequencies of 75% (N = 12), 6% …

Recharacterising Face Recognition Deficits in Developmental Prosopagnosia.
… advocate the use of identifying face perception deficits in DP by administering two separate tests. Finally, we come away from behavioural measures to consider more nuanced means of dissociating DP from other developmental conditions that are commonly associated with face recognition …

Phonological Working Memory Deficits in ADHD Revisited: The Role of Lower-Level Information Processing Deficits in Impaired Working Memory Performance
Working memory deficits in children with ADHD are well established; however, insufficient evidence exists concerning the degree to which lower-level cognitive processes contribute to these deficits. The current study dissociates lower level information processing abilities (i.e., visual …

Remediating Undergraduate Medical Learners with Deficits in Empathy
… processes involved in the remediation of empathy deficits in these learners. This study aims to broaden our understanding of remediating empathy in undergraduate medical students with two main objectives : 1) Generate an understanding of remediation approaches currently used by experienced medical …

Neuromuscular Deficits Associated With KMT5B Haploinsufficiency in Mice
… additional symptoms such as seizures and motor deficits. These motor deficits are characterized as hypotonia and motor delay. Kmt5b already has a known role in skeletal muscle, maintaining skeletal muscle stem cell quiescence. However, this was found only in an adult, repeated injury model. That …

Feigning Cognitive Deficits on Neuropsychological Evaluations: Multiple Detection Strategies
Individuals undergoing forensic neuropsychological evaluation frequently stand to gain in some manner if neurocognitive dysfunction is diagnosed. As a result, neuropsychologists are customarily asked to test for neurocognitive feigning during the assessment. The current study employed an analogue …
