... the association between ADL ability and seventeen tests of EF, three tests of attention and working memory and the Mini-Mental State Examination. The association between EF and ADL ability was further investigated in relation to four different methods of assessing ADL, and one specific ADL, driving. Results...

... in the cerebrovascular response to cognition could be detected at midlife. Methods: Forty adults, aged 40–60 years, performed a 2-Back working memory task during fMRI. The associations between serum total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol concentrations to task-related activation...

..., working memory and episodic secondary memory. Taking attention for example, patients given placebo showed a significant deterioration from predosing scores at 12 and 20 weeks, whereas patients on rivastigmine performed significantly above their predosing levels. These effects were also large in magnitude...
