Transcranial direct current stimulation combined with cognitive training improves decision making and executive functions in opioid use disorder: a triple-blind sham-controlled pilot study

Gözde Akkaya

Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic disorder with a considerable amount of morbidity and mortality. Despite remarkable improvement achieved by maintenance programs, an array of treatment goals were still unmet. Mounting evidence suggests that transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) improves decision making and cognitive functions in addictive disorders. tDCS paired with a decision making task was depicted to diminish impulsivity as well. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the effect of tDCS combined with cognitive training (CT) in OUD for the first time. Method ...Daha fazlası

Association of BDNF Gene Val66Met Polymorphism with Suicide Attempts, Focused Attention and Response Inhibition in Patients with Schizophrenia Şizofreni Hastalarında BDNF Geni Val66Met Polimorfizminin İntihar Girişimi, Odaklanmış Dikkat ve Yanıt İnhibisyonu ile İlişkisi

Aslı Enez Darçın

Introduction: The relationship between BDNF gene Val/Met polymorphism and clinical symptoms, attention and executive functions in patients with schizophrenia was investigated in this study. Also, BDNF Val66Met gene polymorphism was compared between patients and healthy controls. Thus, genetic factors that may affect both the etiology and cognitive functions in schizophrenia were evaluated. Methods: BDNF Val66Met gene polymorphism was investigated in 102 patients with schizophrenia and 98 healthy controls. Cognitive functions were evaluated by the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and Stroop T ...Daha fazlası

Evaluation of Cognitive Functions of Patients with Epileptic Seizures Originating From the Posterior Cortex

Serra Sandor

Objectives: Posterior cortex epilepsies (PCE) are characterized by seizures originating from the occipital, parietal, or occipital border of the temporal lobe. It is very important to analyze the patient series and bring them to the literature in the evaluation of the clinical features of this rare seizure type. In our study, the patients with PCE were retrospectively examined and the cognitive functions of the patients were evaluated and the results were compared with those of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Methods: Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria among epilepsy patients treated ...Daha fazlası
