Response Guided Errorless Learning with Normal Elderly
… errorless learning of a perceptual motor task in normal elderly. It provides normative data for a study with stroke patients using this technique for cognitive rehabilitation. While errorless learning has been shown to be more effective on most tasks than trial and error learning for people with …

Driving performance in mild dementia
… demented subjects was compared to that of 18 normal elderly and 18 mid-age controls. Driving tasks were grouped according to a three-level hierarchical model that characterizes driving as a problem solving skill involving (a) low-level vehicle control skills, (b) intermediate level manoeuvring …

Proteomic-based Signature of Brain-related Proteins as Novel Candidate Biomarkers for Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis
… levels are changed relative to cognitively normal elderly. There is a need for novel disease-specific biomarkers that will capture disease more accurately and at an earlier stage, predict disease severity, and be used in research and clinical trial settings for patients’ enrichment and …

Learning classification models of cognitive conditions from subtle behaviors in the digital Clock Drawing Test
… 50 years as a screening tool to differentiate normal elderly individuals from those with cognitive impairment, and has proven useful in helping to diagnose dementias, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other conditions. A group of hospitals and clinics have been administering …

Evaluation of Cerebral Lateral Ventricular Enlargement Derived from Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Candidate Biomarker of Alzheimer Disease Progression in Vivo
… and determine group-wise differences between normal elderly controls (NEC) and subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD and (3) determine the number of subjects necessary to detect a 20 percent change from the natural history of ventricular enlargement with respect to genotype. …

Depression in Elderly Men following Transurethral Prostatectom
… concerned with the problem of depression among elderly patients following surgery. The purpose of the study was to find out if older men following transurethral prostatectomy experienced a higher level of depression than normal elderly people in the general population. An attempt was made in the …

Memory Change and Cognitive Function among the Elderly
… yet little is known regarding what constitutes "normal" memory test performance in individuals over the age of 74. In this study, forgetting rates for verbal and nonverbal material from the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R) were examined in groups of older healthy individuals aged 50-74 and …

Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers in the Evaluation and Treatment of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is characterized by slowly progressive gait disturbance, cognitive impairment and urinary incontinence. It is a well-known potentially reversible cause of dementia by the shunt operation. However, it is not simple to select candidates for the shunt operation due …

The Master Synaptic Regulator: Activity Regulated Cytoskeleton Associated Protein, Arc, in Normal Aging and Diseases with Cognitive Impairment
… can be found in brains of cognitively normal elderly individuals. Together with the fact that synaptic activity is altered during aging and markedly deteriorated in AD, we therefore hypothesize that altered basal and activity-driven Arc expression contribute to deleterious synaptic …
