The effects of rTMS on impulsivity in normal adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2018)Impulsivity is a multi-dimensional construct that is regarded as a symptom of many psychiatric disorders. Harm resulting from impulsive behaviour can be substantial for the individuals concerned, for their social network, ... -
Empathy, ToM, and self–other differentiation: An fMRI study of internal states
(2014)This study used functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine the neural substrates of empathy, Theory of Mind (ToM), and self–other differentiation involved in the adaptive understanding of people’s internal states. ... -
Epilepsy; improving the patient journey. Seven short films and accompanying booklets
(2015)Purpose: Epilepsy is a common co-morbidity in people with a learning disability. It has a negative impact on quality of life and life expectancy. Access to healthcare and up take in clinical investigations is more difficult ... -
Evaluation of NeuroPage as a memory aid for people with multiple sclerosis: A randomised controlled trial
(2018)Memory problems are reported in 40%-60% of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). These problems affect independence and may limit the ability to benefit from rehabilitation. Our aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of ... -
Everyday memory measures in multiple sclerosis: a systematic review
(2018)Everyday memory is one of the most affected cognitive functions in multiple sclerosis (MS). Assessing everyday memory problems is crucial for monitoring the impact of memory deficits on individuals' day-to-day lives and ... -
Excitatory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation applied to the right inferior frontal gyrus has no effect on motor or cognitive impulsivity in healthy adults
(2018)BACKGROUNDImpulsivity is a multi-faceted concept. It is a crucial feature of many neuropsychiatric disorders. Three subtypes of impulsivity have been identified: motor, temporal, and cognitive impulsivity. Existing evidence ... -
Experience of identity change in people who reported a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis: A qualitative inquiry
(2019)Background: A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) can lead to changes to a person's sense of self. The aim of this study was to investigate the subjective experience of identity change and subsequent adjustment to ... -
Experiences of adjustment to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis: a meta-ethnographic systematic review
(2020)Purpose: To provide an overview of the experiences and needs of patients adjusting to life after receiving a diagnosis of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). Method: We conducted a meta-ethnographic synthesis ... -
Factors associated with strain in carers of people with traumatic brain injury
(2013)Objective: To explore factors associated with strain in carers of patients with traumatic brain injury.; Design: Cross-sectional cohort study.; Participants: Forty-eight carers of patients with traumatic brain injury ... -
The fate of neurons after traumatic spinal cord injury in rats: A systematic review
(2018)Objective(s): To reach an evidence-based knowledge in the context of the temporal-spatial pattern of neuronal death and find appropriate time of intervention in order to preserve spared neurons and promote regeneration ... -
Fine-grained, local maps and coarse, global representations support human spatial working memory
(2014)While sensory processes are tuned to particular features, such as an object's specific location, color or orientation, visual working memory (vWM) is assumed to store information using representations, which generalize ... -
Fregoli syndrome after cerebral infarction
(1987)A case of a rare form of delusional misidentification, the Fregoli syndrome, is described. Although usually occurring in the setting of primary or secondary schizophrenic psychoses, delusional misidentification has been ... -
Fronto-insular network and prefrontal GABA levels following targeted transcranial theta-burst magnetic stimulation
(2015)Background and Aims: Recent neuroimaging studies have identified the insula as a key brain region in the pathophysiology of depression and may be a crucial target for the treatment of depression [1]. The modulation of ... -
Functional connectivity in MRI is driven by spontaneous BOLD events
(2015)Functional brain signals are frequently decomposed into a relatively small set of large scale, distributed cortical networks that are associated with different cognitive functions. It is generally assumed that the connectivity ... -
Genome-wide mega-analysis identifies 16 loci and highlights diverse biological mechanisms in the common epilepsies
(2018)The epilepsies affect around 65 million people worldwide and have a substantial missing heritability component. We report a genome-wide mega-analysis involving 15,212 individuals with epilepsy and 29,677 controls, which ... -
Group cognitive rehabilitation to reduce the psychological impact of multiple sclerosis on quality of life: the CRAMMS RCT
(2020)Background: People with multiple sclerosis have problems with memory and attention. The effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation has not been established. Objectives: The objectives were to assess the clinical effectiveness ... -
A group memory rehabilitation programme for people with traumatic brain injuries: The ReMemBrIn RCT
(2019)BACKGROUND: People with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) commonly report memory impairments. These are persistent, debilitating and reduce quality of life, but patients do not routinely receive memory rehabilitation after ... -
Health care professionals' views on using remote measurement technology in managing central nervous system disorders: Qualitative interview study
(2020)BACKGROUNDRemote measurement technologies (RMT) can be used to collect data on a variety of bio-behavioral variables, which may improve the care of patients with central nervous system disorders. Although various studies ... -
Impact of cognitive behavior therapy on health-related quality of life among adult hypnotic users with chronic insomnia
(2006)Results were combined from representative surveys of health related quality of life (HRQoL; n=11,877; age range=16-104) with data from a randomized controlled trial of cognitive behavior therapy for chronic insomnia (n=209; ...
