Executive functions and memory strategies in healthy individuals with high and ...
Cunha, Maria João; Rocha, Vanessa; Vázquez-Justo, Enrique; Paúl, Núria; Maestú, Fernando; Palmeira, Lara; Fernandes, Sara M.Objective: In this study, we aim to explore differences in executive functions, mem- ory, and memory strategies, between healthy individuals with high and low levels of Cognitive Reserve (CR). Method: A total of 70 participants underwent neuropsychological assessment, 36 females and 34 males, aged between 50 and 85 years. The instruments administered were BSI, MoCA, QRC, LMS I and II (EMW-III), DMS (WAIS – III)...
Effects of aging on memory strategies: A validation of the Portuguese version o...
Vázquez-Justo, Enrique; Pereira, Carolina; Silva, Ana; Paul, Nuria; Yuberoc, Raquel; Maestú, Fernando; Araújo, Alexandra M.; Fernandes, Sara M.Objective: Previous literature has shown that executive functions (EF) are related to performance in memory tasks. The fact that there are no psychometric tests that evaluate these two constructs simultaneously led a group of researchers to develop the Test of Memory Strategies (TSM). Given the potential importance of this instrument for neuropsychological evaluation, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the psy...
The brain of binge drinkers at rest: alterations in theta and beta oscillations...
López-Caneda, Eduardo; Cadaveira, Fernando; Correas, Angeles; Crego, Alberto; Maestú, Fernando; Rodríguez Holguín, SocorroBackground: Previous studies have reported anomalous resting brain activity in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of alcoholics, often reflected as increased power in the beta and theta frequency bands. The effects of binge drinking, the most common pattern of excessive alcohol consumption during adolescence and youth, on brain activity at rest is still poorly known. In this study, we sought to assess the pattern o...
Binge drinking affects brain oscillations linked to motor inhibition and execution
López-Caneda, Eduardo; Rodríguez Holguín, Socorro; Correas, Ángeles; Carbia, Carina; González-Villar, Alberto; Maestú, Fernando; Cadaveira, FernandoNeurofunctional studies have shown that binge drinking patterns of alcohol consumption during adolescence and youth are associated with anomalies in brain functioning. Recent evidence suggests that event-related oscillations may be an appropriate index of neurofunctional damage associated with alcoholism. However, there is no study to date that has evaluated the effects of binge drinking on oscillatory brain re...
Contributos da magnetoencefalografia para o estudo da Doença de Alzheimer
Maestú, Fernando; Vázquez-Justo, Enrique; Fernandes, Sara M.A magnetoencefalografia é uma técnica de neuroimagem funcional que permite descrever os padrões espacio-temporais da actividade cerebral relacionada com diferentes processos cognitivos básicos [...].
