Neurofeedback training of executive function in autism spectrum disorder: disti...
Pereira, Daniela Jardim; Morais, Sofia; Sayal, Alexandre; Pereira, João; Meneses, Sofia; Areias, Graça; Direito, Bruno; Macedo, AntónioBackground Deficits in executive function (EF) are consistently reported in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Tailored cognitive training tools, such as neurofeedback, focused on executive function enhancement might have a significant impact on the daily life functioning of individuals with ASD. We report the first real-time fMRI neurofeedback (rt-fMRI NF) study targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex ...
Neurofeedback-dependent influence of the ventral striatum using a working memor...
Pereira, Daniela Jardim; Sayal, Alexandre; Pereira, João; Morais, Sofia; Macedo, António; Direito, Bruno; Castelo-Branco, MiguelExecutive functions and motivation have been established as key aspects for neurofeedback success. However, task-specific influence of cognitive strategies is scarcely explored. In this study, we test the ability to modulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, a strong candidate for clinical application of neurofeedback in several disorders with dysexecutive syndrome, and investigate how feedback contributes to...
Self-modulation of executive system with real-time fMRI: a neurofeedback protoc...
Pereira, Daniela JardimTese de Programa de Doutoramento em Ciências da Saúde apresentada à Faculdade de Medicina; Neurofeedback (NF) using real-time fMRI (rt-fMRI) is a technique that allows self-regulation of brain activity by providing the individual information about signal in a target brain region or network, putatively modulating specific neural substrates linked to a certain behavior or dysfunction. In this study, we focus on e...

Pereira, Daniela Jardim; Abreu, Pedro; Reis, Ana Mafalda; Seixas, Daniela; Carreiro, Inês; Cravo, Isabel; Gomes, Graça Joana da CruzMagnetic resonance imaging is recognized as the most important diagnostic test in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, differential diagnosis and evaluation of progression/therapeutic response. However, to make optimal use of magnetic resonance imaging in multiple sclerosis, the use of a standard, reproducible and comparable imaging protocol is of uttermost importance. In this context, the Portuguese Society of...

Abreu, Pedro; Pedrosa, Rui; Sá, Maria José; Cerqueira, João; Sousa, Lívia; Da Silva, Ana Martins; Pinheiro, Joaquim; De Sá, João; Batista, SóniaIntroduction: Magnetic resonance imaging is established as a recognizable tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple sclerosis patients. In the present, among multiple sclerosis centers, there are different magnetic resonance imaging sequences and protocols used to study multiple sclerosis that may hamper the optimal use of magnetic resonance imaging in multiple sclerosis. In this context, the Group of St...

Integrating pieces in autism spectrum disorders : the weak central coherence ac...
Pereira, Daniela JardimIntroduction: Autism spectrum disorders are characterized by both social and non-social im-pairments, namely a triadic core of deficits in the social, communication and behavioural do-mains along with some strengths in perceptual functioning and the manifestation of “islets of abilities”. The weak central coherence account provides an explanatory model for the islets of perceptual competence and the tendency fo...
