COMMENT The research can become useful for therapeutic purposes or cognitive training. The pre-training involves an ambiguous image followed or paired with the actual original image. There is an emotion factor to consider. The ambiguous image can set up frustrati
COMMENT The AD8 can be a very useful tool for admission screening at Adult Day Health Care Centers. The strained families or caregivers could be answering reliably, since the problem brings them to the health centers for their elderly loved ones. Having administe
COMMENT Why is ventriculomegaly, the expansion of the cerebral ventricles, and cerebral volume changes part of normal aging? There can be the differentiation between normal and neurodegenerative aging. Different regions of the aging brain may suffer atrophy and l
COMMENT The age-old question of general anesthesia such as clindamycin causing shock to the autonomic nervous system by blunting it is documented. The adjustment to unconsciousness and then consciousness can produce cognitive decline. Family 0 Shock Produced by G
COMMENT The demographic study of Krister Håkansson of Växjö University, Växjö, and Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, is very interesting. The effects of pair bonding and attachment have substantial effect on hormonal induction and neuroprotection. Oxytoci
COMMENT Giovannetti et al. (2007) clarify certain performance anticipation issues in Alzheimer patients. Habituation or “environmental adaptation” improves performance in many behavioral studies. The improvement is mainly related to the desensitization to irrelev
COMMENT This work is incisive. The analysis was done on single dendritic spines of CA1 pyramidal cells in the hippocampi of water maze-trained rats versus controls. The role of CA1 pyramidal cells in reconciling local-interceptive stimuli and formation of long-te
COMMENT This paper is pointing to the inconsistencies and lack of differentiation in detecting the differences among vascular dementia, dementia, and Alzheimer lesions. There is still need for a clear differential diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s independent
COMMENT The paper by Willis et. al. is definitional, for the work differentiates the effects that different cognitive tasks have on instrumental activities of daily living. Cognitive tasks such as training for verbal episodic memory, inductive reasoning, tacting/
COMMENT Cannabinoid agonist is shown to have a thermal hyperalgesia effect in inflammatory pain involving the sensory pathways and activation of the calcineurin (Nathaniel et al., 2006). The role of sensory inhibition, anhedonia, and known effects of calcineurin
COMMENT The research is very interesting and important. In Los Angeles, California, use of medical cannabis is encountered working in the field with adolescents or young adults. There is indeed controversy since hidden side effects include perceptual and family d
COMMENT Chong and colleagues’ (1999) attribution of loss of balance due to not-so-well-understood vestibular-visual integration can be complemented with findings pertaining to the histaminergic system and the vestibule. Tighilet et al. (2006) show that the histam
COMMENT Activity level and respiration do co-vary when rodents play in an enriched environment. And Kheirandish et al. (2005) showed that hypoxia adversely affected working memory specially in male rats, and the dendritic branching and dopamine transport in the f
COMMENT Sampling and expression of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in vascular dementia (VD) brains and Alzheimer disease (AD) brains may explain the difference in learning and memory and not genetic differences, entirely. Since the effects of VD and AD on learning and m
