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…
Primary objective: To create diagnostic and treatment tools for navigation ability in stroke patients, that can be used in clinical practice.Secondary objective: To increase knowledge about the cognitive structure and neuroanatomical correlates of…
In this study, we will systematically investigate the influence of distractors on target processing in patients with lesions to the frontal, parietal and occipital system. This will be measured by eye movements. Furthermore, prism adaptation will be…
The first line of research encompasses the frequency, severity, and (dis)similarities of perceptual and attentional impairments in near and far space. Differential impairments of near and far space processing are more likely to be found when spatial…
Cytotoxic treatment may lead to long-lasting brain damage that can result in persistent cognitive changes and accelerated cognitive decline at an older age. The proposed study will investigate whether chemotherapy causes brain changes different from…
The aim of this experimental study is to find out whether children and young adults with the DS have an altered pain sensitivity in comparison with children and young adults without cognitive impairement.
The aim of the present study is to investigate cerebral vasoreactivity in response to lower body negative pressure in young and elderly healthy men, as a measure of cerebral autoregulatory responsiveness.
The current study further investigates residual vision in hemianopics by using a new measure of distractor interference on saccadic eye movements. Previous research with healthy participants has indicated that irrelevant distractors evoke saccade…
The eventual aim of the study is to determine the effects of Botulinum toxin injections in the bladder on overactive bladder. The objective of this initial study is to determine what brainstructures are activated in respond to increasing volumes of…
Primary Objective: To test the feasibility of online neuropsychological assessments using the Amsterdam Cognition Scan (ACS) compared to classical neuropsychological assessments in patients with cancers with CNS involvement.
Primairy objective:Explore the prevalence of the ABI-effect, by mapping the participation level. Secundary objective:Substatiate the occurence of the ABI-effect, by mapping cognitive functions of patients and compare these to healthy controls.…
We address two primary objectives: 1.) To determine whether (awake) surgery on patients with a brain tumor or epilepsy allows for HD-ECoG data collection of adequate quality to address research questions on brain function. In other words, we want to…
To examine the cross-cultural acceptability of four interventions in dementia care that typically aim to increase control over the end of life among people with dementia, and family and professional caregivers. Differences in acceptability between…
Primary Objective: What is the effect of a transfer from home to a nursing home environment on the level of physical activity in the elderly with dementia over time? Secondary Objective(s): Is there a relationship between a possible change in the…
Understand perceptions of people with young-onset dementia and their family caregivers about quality of life, advance care planning and care including end-of-life care, and understand what professional caregivers can learn from understanding and…
To report on the long-term effect modification by age of MPH treatment on brain structure and function, and clinical outcome, as measured by MRI scans, neuropsychological assessment, actigraphy and questionnaires, and to compare these results with…
To determine the difference in change over time of cognitive function and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements between breast cancer survivors and cancer-free individuals.
The present study examines stroke patients* language abilities as well as the recruitment of additional brain areas in language use over time to compensate for stroke-induced language deficits.
To improve aftercare for patients with ABI receiving outpatient rehabilitation, aimed at promoting an active lifestyle to prevent persistent complaints after ABI and poor HR-QoL.
