“…Activation in the left angular gyrus has been associated with semantic meaning (Seghier et al, 2010; Sharp et al, 2010), more so when there is a conflict involving implausible sentences (Ye and Zhou, 2009) or when the stimulus is emotional (Hervé et al, 2012); it is implicated also in problem identification (Dandan et al, 2013b), in problem solving (Dandan et al, 2013a; Grabner et al, 2013), and in cognitive flexibility (Jacobson et al, 2011). Activation in intraparietal sulcus has been associated with item-specific processing but not with relations among items (Ackerman and Courtney, 2012), with symbolic number processing (Bugden et al, 2012), with attention to items presented in the periphery (Gillebert et al, 2013), and with temporal orienting (that is, attention toward a specific moment in time; Davranche et al, 2011).…”

How emotions influence syllogistic reasoning is not well understood. fMRI was employed to investigate the effects of induced positive or negative emotion on syllogistic reasoning. Specifically, on a trial-by-trial basis participants were exposed to a positive, negative, or neutral picture, immediately prior to engagement in a reasoning task. After viewing and rating the valence and intensity of each picture, participants indicated by keypress whether or not the conclusion of the syllogism followed logically from the premises. The content of all syllogisms was neutral, and the influence of belief-bias was controlled for in the study design. Emotion did not affect reasoning performance, although there was a trend in the expected direction based on accuracy rates for the positive (63%) and negative (64%) versus neutral (70%) condition. Nevertheless, exposure to positive and negative pictures led to dissociable patterns of neural activation during reasoning. Therefore, the neural basis of deductive reasoning differs as a function of the valence of the context.

“…TMT-A is considered to be a measure of visual search/attention skills and psychomotor speed, as its performance has been shown to correlate with scores on other timed tasks which require visual search (e.g., WAIS-III Digit Symbol Coding; Sanchez-Cubillo et al, 2009). TMT-B, on the other hand, is thought of as a measure of executive control, cognitive flexibility, and set shifting, as it is correlated with performance on cognitive alternation and taskswitching tests, as well as increased activation of frontal cortices on fMRI studies and results of prefrontal cortex lesion studies (Crowe, 1998;Yochim, Baldo, Nelson, & Delis, 2007;Jacobson, Blanchard, Connolly, Cannon, & Garavan, 2011). Both parts of the test have exhibited high test-retest reliability (at least 0.76 for Part A, and 0.82 for Part B in recently reported studies), with the coefficient values generally higher for TMT-B compared to A (Lezak et al, 2004;Seo et al, 2006;Wagner, Helmreich, Dahmen, Lieb, & Tadić, 2011).…”

Abstract. OBJECTIVE:To generate normative data on the Trail Making Test (TMT) across 11 countries in Latin America, with countryspecific adjustments for gender, age, and education, where appropriate. METHOD: The sample consisted of 3,977 healthy adults who were recruited from Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Paraguay, Honduras, Chile, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Bolivia. Each subject was administered the TMT as part of a larger neuropsychological battery. A standardized five-step statistical procedure was used to generate the norms. RESULTS: The final multiple linear regression models for the TMT-A explained 23-50% of the variance, and the final multiple linear models for the TMT-B explained 22-49% of the variance. Although there were gender differences on the TMT in Mexico, Peru, Paraguay, and Honduras, only Honduras had an effect size greater than 0.3. As a result, gender-adjusted norms were generated for the Trail Making Test-A, but not B, in this country.

“…Por exemplo, estudos que pretendiam investigar dificuldades no teste de trilhas, especialmente na parte B, como um marcador para disfunção executiva importante associadas à lesão frontal não parecem ser consistentes. Os autores concluíram que independentemente da variável local da lesão, os pacientes com TCE são suscetíveis a realizar erros nesta tarefa e que o bom desempenho parece estar associada à uma rede de ativação que envolvem regiões frontais, não-frontais e regiões subcorticais, geralmente afetadas em pacientes com TcE e presente na da mesma forma heterogeneidade desta amostra (Jacobson, Blanchard, Connolly, Cannon, & Garavan, 2011;Zakzanis, Mraz & Graham, 2005).…”

ResumoO traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) pode acarretar mudanças no cotidiano e prejuízos social. laboral. comunicativo e cognitivo (dificuldades atencionais. mnemônicas e executivas). Este estudo buscou caracterizar a ocorrência de déficits neuropsicológicos após o TCE em uma amostra de adultos e verificar se há impacto do nível de severidade do trauma no desempenho cognitivo dos pacientes. Participaram 96 adultos. divididos em dois grupos: TCE leve (n=39) e grave (n=57). A gravidade do trauma foi classificada pela Escala de Coma de Glasgow. pela duração da perda de consciência. ou pela amnésia pós-traumática. Não houve diferença nas variáveis sociodemográficas idade e escolaridade entre os grupos. Para a comparação entre grupos quanto a ocorrência de déficits neuropsicológicos. utilizou-se o Qui-quadrado. Tarefas verbais e visuoespaciais de funções executivas. habilidades linguísticas. mnemônicas verbais compuseram uma bateria neuropsicológica flexível.Os pacientes com TCE leve tiveram menos déficits comparados aos com TCE grave (erros e categorias completadas do Wisconsin Teste de Classificação de Cartas; erros da parte B do Teste Hayling; e na interferência pró e retroativa do teste de aprendizagem verbal de Rey). A severidade do trauma parece diferenciar indivíduos no desempenho de memória episódica no contexto de maior sobrecarga de informações novas e no controle da interferência entre memórias; o mesmo se aplica às funções de flexibilidade e inibição. Fazse necessário um maior investimento em ações de políticas públicas de saúde. priorizando intervenção neurognitiva remediativa e métodos de prevenção para acidentes relacionados a lesões traumáticas com alta ocorrência de sequelas.

FRECUENCIA DE DÉFICITS NEUROPSICOLÓGICOS POSTERIORES A LESIÓN CEREBRAL TRAUMÁTICA ResumenEl traumatismo craneoencefálico (TCE) puede conllevar impactantes cambios en la vida cotidiana. que incluyen alteraciones a nivel social. profesional. comunicativo y cognitivo (dificultades atencionales. mnemónicas y ejecutivas). Este estudio tuvo por objeto caracterizar la ocurrencia de déficits neuropsicológicos post-TCE y constatar el impacto ocasionado por el nivel de severidad del trauma en el desempeño cognitivo de los pacientes. Participaron 96 adultos en la muestra total. que fue dividida en dos grupos para evaluar el nivel de severidad del trauma: TCE leve (n=39) y TCE grave (n=77). La gravedad de la lesión se clasificó por medio de la Escala de Coma de Glasgow. por la duración de la pérdida de consciencia. o por la amnesia postraumática. No había diferencias entre la edad y la escolaridad de los participantes. Para la comparación entre los grupos en cuanto a la distribución de ocurrencia de déficits neuropsicológicos. se utilizó el Chi-cuadrado.
