  1. Long-term, home-based transcranial direct current stimulation coupled with computerized cognitive training in frontotemporal dementia: A case report

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Journal of central nervous system disease 2024-06-03 Cognitive tests and assessment

    We present the case of a 62-year-old woman with probable behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) with cognitive/language deficits who demonstrated improved performance on cognitive/language testing and in functional tasks following long-term, home-based transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) coupled with computerized cognitive training (CCT).

  2. Effects of home-based computerized cognitive training and tai chi exercise on cognitive functions in older adults with mild cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Aging & mental health 2023-06-27 Cognitive tests and assessment

    The effects of CCT and TCE on improving global cognition and certain cognitive domains for older MCI adults may have been small but they lasted for at least 12 months.

  3. Computerized cognitive practice effects in relation to amyloid and tau in preclinical Alzheimer's disease: Results from a multi-site cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands) 2023-01-01 Cognitive tests and assessment

    Scalable cognitive paradigms that provide metrics such as the Computerized Cognitive Composite (C3) may be sensitive enough to relate to Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in the preclinical clinically unimpaired (CU) stage.

  4. Impact of Computerized Cognitive Training on Default Mode Network Connectivity in Subjects at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease: A 78-week Randomized Controlled Trial

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 79 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2023-01-01 Cognitive tests and assessment

    However, crossword puzzles might result in cognitively beneficial remodeling between the DMN and other networks in more severely impaired MCI subjects, parallel to the observed clinical benefits.

  5. A Preclinical Model of Computerized Cognitive Training: Touchscreen Cognitive Testing Enhances Cognition and Hippocampal Cellular Plasticity in Wildtype and Alzheimer's Disease Mice

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Frontiers in behavioral neuroscience 2021-12-06 Cognitive tests and assessment

    With the growing popularity of touchscreen cognitive testing in rodents, it is imperative to understand the fundamental effects exposure to this paradigm can have on the animals involved.

  6. Usefulness of CogEvo, a computerized cognitive assessment and training tool, for distinguishing patients with mild Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment from cognitively normal older people

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Geriatrics & gerontology international 2020-12-17 Cognitive tests and assessment

    These results suggest that CogEvo, a computerized cognitive assessment tool, is useful for evaluating early-stage cognitive impairment.

  7. Effects of the online computerized cognitive training program BEYNEX on the cognitive tests of individuals with subjective cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease on rivastigmine therapy

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Turkish journal of medical sciences 2020-02-13 Cognitive tests and assessment

    This study is a rare example that focuses on both groups with SCI and AD.

  8. Differential effects of a computerized cognitive stimulation program on older adults with mild cognitive impairment according to the severity of white matter hyperintensities

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Clinical interventions in aging 2018-08-30 Cognitive tests and assessment

    These findings suggest that WMH severity was related to cognitive improvement induced by a CCS program and highlight the importance of considering WMH in interventional studies on subjects with MCI.

  9. Computerized cognitive training during physical inactivity improves executive functioning in older adults

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Neuropsychology, development, and cognition. Section B, Aging, neuropsychology and cognition 2016-12-12 Cognitive tests and assessment

    The hippocampus is closely tied to spatial navigation, a central component in cognitive functioning, and critically involved in age-associated cognitive decline and dementia.

  10. Computerized Cognitive Tests Are Associated with Biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease in Cognitively Normal Individuals 10 Years Prior

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society : JINS 2016-11-01 Cognitive tests and assessment

    These findings suggest that AD biomarker levels may be differentially predictive of specific cognitive functions many years later.
