Aphasia is a language disorder, but it may also be accompanied by subtle cognitive impairments including deficits in working memory (WM). These cognitive and WM impairments are hard to quantify as traditionally, performance is assessed with a verbal or motoric response. These measures can be...

Background: Ischemic stroke is associated with cognitive impairment, but the acute cognitive sequelae of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and minor stroke is unknown. We hypothesized that transient cognitive impairment can be predicted by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion volume. Methods:...

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) involves the progressive loss of upper and lower motor neurons. Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) has been reported in a considerable proportion of patients, manifesting as cognitive and behavioural impairment in at least 25-50%, with 10-15% patients...

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) are two common epilepsy syndromes. TLE is a type of focal epilepsy. It is frequently associated with mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), a condition that is also medically intractable. Although TLE is characterized by a focal...

Long-term care demand is increasing as Canada’s population ages and experiences a growing prevalence of dementia. Long-term care residents are highly dependent on health care providers for ongoing assessment and care due to complex cognitive and other medical conditions. One aspect of health...

Recent evidence from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies reported that the structural integrity [fractional anisotropy (FA)] of white matter (WM) tracts in the ventral and dorsal regions of the brain is correlated with reading ability. It has thus been hypothesized that WM pathways in these...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves the motor system and can lead to dementia. Dementia incidence among 102 non-demented participants (52 PD and 50 controls) followed prospectively over three years was assessed. Cognition was measured annually using the Clock Drawing Test (CDT), Mini-Mental State...

Prenatal alcohol exposure has detrimental consequences on brain development, resulting in a wide range of physical, cognitive and behaviour deficits termed fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods have identified numerous abnormalities of brain...
