	Neurocognitive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neurocognitive is a term used to describe cognitive functions closely linked to the function of particular areas, neural pathways, or cortical networks in the brain.
		Therefore their understanding is closely linked to the practice of neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience, two disciplines which broadly seek to understand how the structure and function of the brain relates to thought and behaviour.
		A neurocognitive deficit is a reduction or impairment of cognitive function in one of these areas, but particularly when physical changes can be seen to have occurred in the brain, such as after neurological illness, mental illness, drug use or brain injury.

		An understanding of neurocognition is important to improve decision-making by patients, families, and the clinicians who care for them, with the ultimate goal being to maximize both survival and QOL.
		Studies have shown that neurocognitive impairment in brain tumor patients is frequent at baseline, with 91% of patients having at least one area of deficit compared to the normal population and 71% demonstrating at least three deficits.
		Neurocognitive impairment following radiation therapy is likely to be dose dependent and may occur from minutes to up to 30 years after completion of treatment.

	Olanzapine has small neurocognitive advantage over haloperidol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The neurocognitive benefits of olanzapine treatment over haloperidol in patients with psychosis appear to be small, say US investigators who also found that the cognitive improvement seen with olanzapine was not related to acute clinical changes.
		To address this issue, the researchers compared the neurocognitive effects of olanzapine (5–20 mg/day) with that of low doses of haloperidol (2–20 mg/day) in 167 patients with a first episode of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophreniform disorder.
		Interestingly, the short-term neurocognitive benefits of olanzapine did not appear to be related to acute changes in clinical characteristics or side effects associated with treatment, whereas these factors were related to the benefits seen with haloperidol.

		Thus, there are strong indications that particular neurocognitive deficiencies are already present in young children, but it is not yet clear whether children characterized by impaired performance have a greater risk of being diagnosed with ADHD at a later age.
		Neurocognitive tasks were chosen in order to tap several aspects of executive functioning (such as shifting response sets, working memory, retrieval from semantic memory), and visuomotor planning.
		Therefore, we compared the neurocognitive performance at 5--6 years of age of children who were later diagnosed with ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD), or ADHD with comorbid ODD/CD with that of control children.

		The prospective longitudinal study involved a group of children drawn from the general population who were or were not at risk of ADHD selected on the basis of their CBCL scores.
		An interesting additional finding of our study was that the neurocognitive performance of the borderline ADHD children was generally in between that of the children with and without ADHD, which is in line with the view that ADHD is a continuum or a dimension, and not an entity with strict boundaries (Barkley, 1998, p.
		The nature of the neurocognitive tasks showing significant differences in the performance of children with ADHD and those without ADHD is consistent with past research on school-age children with ADHD.

	Immediate Neurocognitive Effects of Concussion - National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
		The severity of neurocognitive abnormalities detected in standardized testing immediately after injury in this study was correlated with established indicators of injury severity (i.e., LOC and PTA) (23).
		When neurocognitive deficits are measured at the time of concussion, it becomes apparent that PTA and LOC reflect a severity gradient of traumatic pathophysiological processes that adversely affect brain function.
		This report is the first to prospectively measure the immediate neurocognitive effects of concussion, correlate the severity of neurocognitive impairment with the occurrence of LOC and PTA, and illustrate the early course of postinjury recovery.

		A brief neurocognitive and neurological screening measure, the Standardized Assessment of Concussion, was used to assess cognitive functioning before the football season, immediately after injury, and 15 minutes, 48 hours, and 90 days after injury.
		Although an extensive evaluation by a neuropsychologist immediately after injury is not feasible in most acute care settings, neurocognitive testing conducted in the hospital emergency department may allow clinicians to identify patients at risk of persistent symptoms and disability (6).
		Several recent studies used formal neuropsychological testing to elucidate the persistent effects of sports MTBI days or weeks after injury, but those studies were not designed to assess the immediate effects of injury and cannot be considered measures of injury severity, because testing was conducted several days after the occurrence of concussion (11, 19, 24–26).

		Neurocognitive psychotherapy is a therapeutic model designed to help the clinician coordinate the treatment of these complex, interlocking needs.
		Neurocognitive psychotherapy also borrows cognitive rehabilitation approaches such as 1) treatment focused on improving cognitive functioning, 2) the development of strategies to compensate for cognitive challenges, and 3) environmental modifications (of both the physical and social environment) to enhance daily functioning.
		Neurocognitive psychotherapy is a treatment model that has been developed, combining aspects of cognitive/behavioral therapy and cognitive rehabilitation that addresses both the neurocognitive and psychological aspects of ADD (ADHD).

		Neurocognitive Linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that investigates the neurological basis of linguistic structure; insimpler terms, how a person's linguistic knowledge and skills are represented in the brain.
		Linguistic skills include the abilityto speak and read, the ability to understand speech and written text, and the ability to learn these skills and to adapt to newand changing situations and to context.
		Neurocognitive linguistics draws upon linguistics for thedata and structures that need to be accounted for, and from neurolinguistics for information about the locations of variouslinguistic skills in the cortex and subcortical structures.

		HOW IT WORKS: Neurocognitive feedback is a form of operative conditioning that corrects the electrical functions of the brain by having it work to earn "rewards." In order to retrain the brain, doctors place electrodes on the brain of the patient, and a computer records the electrical activity of the brainwaves.

	Domhoff: A New Neurocognitive Theory of Dreams (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		First, he hypothesizes that the initiating mechanisms of the neural network for dream generation are probably located in the temporal-limbic region because of the increased nightmare frequency in patients with temporal lobe seizures.
		The consistency of emotionally painful themes and of heightened scores on Hall/Van de Castle indicators in the dreams of many normal participants suggest that their dream life is often "stuck" in the past in a way that fits with the persistence of negative memories stored in the vigilance/fear system (Domhoff, 1996).
		The possibility that some dreams are based on figurative thinking provides a way for a neurocognitive theory of dreams to incorporate the interesting idea that past experiences are sometimes used as personal metaphors to express current conflicts that have similar emotions and feelings at their core (Kramer et al., 1987).

		November 29, 2004 (Reuters) - NEW YORK - Myeloablative hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is known to reduce neurocognitive function, but new research suggests that much of this impairment is temporary.
		Standard tests were used to assess neurocognitive function before HCT, 80 days after HCT, and at one year.
		"Patients and their families can be advised that, although short-term neurocognitive effects of HCT are severe, most patients return to their pretransplantation levels of cognitive function by one year after transplantation," the researchers state.
