Falls are a serious problem among stroke survivors due to subsequent injuries, recovery setbacks, dependence, and mortality. A growing body of dual-task (DT) studies suggests a role of executive functions in gait control and falls, particularly in subacute stroke. However, few studies have compared distinct executive and non-executive tasks, nor their effects on chronic stroke gait.<br/><br/>Elizabeth A Walshe, Richard A P Roche, Christina Ward, Matt Patterson, Desmond O'Neill, Ronan Collins, Seán Commins (2019) <i>Gait & posture</i> <i></i> <i></i> 71: 181-185<br/>

Older adults display difficulties in encoding and retrieval of information, resulting in poorer memory. This may be due to an inability of older adults to engage elaborative encoding strategies during learning. This study examined behavioural and electrophysiological effects of explicit cues to self-initiate learning during encoding and subsequent recognition of words in younger adults (YA), older...<br/><br/>Joanne P M Kenney, Christina Ward, Dervla Gallen, Richard A P Roche, Paul Dockree, Nicola Hohensen, Clare Cassidy, Michael A Keane, Michael J Hogan (2019) <i>The European journal of neuroscience</i> <i></i> <i></i> 50: 11 3855-3872<br/>

Elucidating the impact of healthy cognitive ageing and dementia on autobiographical memory (AM) may help deepen our theoretical understanding of memory and underlying neural changes. The distinction between episodic and semantic autobiographical memory is particularly informative in this regard. Psychological interventions, particularly those involving reminiscence or music, have led to differenti...<br/><br/>Andrew P Allen, Caoilainn Doyle, Seán Commins, Richard A P Roche (2018) <i>Ageing research reviews</i> <i></i> <i></i> 42: 100-111<br/>

Synaesthesia is a developmental condition involving cross-communication between sensory modalities or substreams whereby an inducer (e.g. a sound) automatically evokes a concurrent percept in another modality (e.g. a colour). Whether this condition arises due to atypical structural connectivity (e.g., between normally unconnected cortical areas) or altered neurochemistry remains a central question...<br/><br/>Francesca R Farina, Kevin J Mitchell, Richard A P Roche (2017) <i>The European journal of neuroscience</i> <i></i> <i></i> 45: 3 472-477<br/>

The structural networks in the human brain are consistent across subjects, and this is reflected also in that functional networks across subjects are relatively consistent. These findings are not only present during performance of a goal oriented task but there are also consistent functional networks during resting state.

The role of cognition is becoming increasingly central to our understanding of the complexity of walking gait. In particular, higher-level executive functions are suggested to play a key role in gait and fall-risk, but the specific underlying neurocognitive processes remain unclear.

BACKGROUND: Psychotic symptoms, also termed psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in the absence of psychotic disorder, are common in adolescents and are associated with increased risk of schizophrenia-spectrum illness in adulthood. At the same time, schizophrenia is associated with deficits in social cognition, with deficits particularly documented in facial emotion recognition (FER).

Stroke disrupts motor, sensory, and cognitive systems in survivors.

Inspired by experimental evidence of the thermally accessible pi-dimer of the title compound, DAzPh (7), we propose that the sigma-dimer (8) can undergo a variety of sigma-bond shifts representing very unusual multi-faceted fluxional bonding between two neutral pi-radicals. In this paper, we present a theoretical study of the sigmatropic rearrangement of the DAzPh sigma-dimers.
