The primary objective of this study is to assess whether motor learning using external attentional focus instructions results in superior single-task motor performance, movement automaticity, and dual-task performance in inpatient stroke patients…
To evaluate the effects of tDCS on information processing speed in comparison to sham tDCS in patients after stroke with ascertained reduced processing speed. A proof of principle study.
To investigate in an unselected memory clinic sample, the clinical value of 18F]FBB PET in terms of1. change in diagnosis;2. change in level of confidence of diagnosis;3. impact on patient healthcare management.
1) Is e-COGRAT usable within the ABI population?2) What are the patients* experiences with e-COGRAT?3) What are the therapists* experiences with e-COGRAT?4) What changes in the e-COGRAT are necessary?5) Does this pilot with e-COGRAT show a decline…
The main objective of this study is to find (epi)genetic markers including SNPs/haplotypes, DNA methylation and RNA expression correlating with cognitive decline in clinical patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Subjective Cognitive…
The current study is part of a larger project that aims at identifying genetic profiles that render subject vulnerable to pronounced memory decline at old age. This part of the project will assess cognitive functions in three different age cohorts…
Previous studies have suggested an association between FD and cognitive impairment but these were flawed either by lack of power, used variable assessment of cognitive functioning and/or merged results of different phenotypes and sexes. It is of…
A. To gain more knowledge about the prevalence of TBI in male prisoners in the PPC and the relationship of TBI with violent crime and aggression. We expect that TBI is more common in violent offenders than in non-violent offenders. More specific, we…
To study the longitudinal dynamics of blood biomarkers, including NfL, in patients with frontotemporal dementia.
To determine the relative bioavailability of pramipexole 4.5 mg tablets vs. 4.5 mg Sifrol in healthy subjects after up-titration.
To report on (the age-dependency of) the long-term effect(s) of chronic SSRI treatment during adolescence or adulthood on the outgrowth and function of the 5-HT system, using state-of-the-art Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques and other,…
The primary objectives are defined according to a hierarchical design: i) to tailor and apply multi-parametric, functional MRI techniques to identify cerebral abnormalities (cerebral biomarkers) in DM2 and MetS; ii) to investigate which cerebral…
Addictive disorders affect a steady proportion of the population, and result in significant negative personal consequences(e.g. loss of jobs, psychosocial problems) and costs to society (absence from work due to hangover, treatment costs).GHB is…
The present study will examine how young-onset-dementia patients and their families can be supported in their home environment as long as possible and institutionalisation can be delayed. For this the functioning and care needs of young-onset-…
The current study will focus on the effects of an intensive programme of exposure of prism adaptation (i.e. daily exposure during two weeks) and compare these to sham adaptation.
The most important objective of this study is the validation of various examination procedure to assess fitness to drive in older persons with cognitive impairments. The assessment procedure comprises nosological dementia diagnoses (e.g. AD, FTD) ,…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate neurophysiologic changes of the pain centres of the brain (the differences in particular in the thalamus, primary and secondary somatosensory cortex, insula, anterior cingulate cortex and the motor…
The main goal of the study is to develop and validate a device that provides an objective measure of degradation of motor performance in elderly people. The device will assist to diagnose neurodegenerative disorders in the elderly at an early stage…
The primary aim is to investigate the effects of attentional focus manipulation on the performance of a repetitive leg movement task under single and dual-task conditions in ABI patients. Furthermore, it will be investigated to what extent the…
Primary Objective: Our main goal is to contribute to the identification of an attentional profile of the paediatric TBI population, by analysing the quality and efficiency of alerting, orienting, executive and sustained attentional functioning. This…
