   Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is next to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) the second most common neurodegenerative disease. PD has traditionally been characterised as a motor disorder, but more recent research has revealed that cognitive impairments are frequent. READ MORE

   Abstract : Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease. The diagnosis is based on a combination of the motor signs: tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity and postural abnormalities. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is common early in the disease and a large proportion of patients with PD develop dementia (PDD). READ MORE

5. 3. Plasticity of memory functioning : genetic predictors and brain changes

   Author : Martin Bellander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Human cognitive functions are not determined from birth, but are plastic and can be altered by environmental factors. The promising idea of a cognitive intervention that would improve memory functioning has attracted a lot of attention over the last decades. READ MORE

   Abstract : Preserved cognition is an important determinant for perceived Quality of Life (QoL) and has been found to be essential in order to translate improvements in primary symptoms following Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) into activities of daily living that drive QoL. Therefore, it is important to evaluate not only the clinical improvement, but also the cognitive impact of DBS. READ MORE
