13. Prevalence of neurocognitive disorders and depression in a Brazilian HIV population
AbstractINTRODUCTION:Combined antiretroviral therapy has enabled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) carriers to live longer. This increased life expectancy is associated with the occurrence of degenerative diseases, including HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), which are diagnosed via a complex neuropsychological assessment. The International HIV

14. Evaluation of body representation in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy: toward the development of a neuropsychological test battery
Clinical observations indicate that many children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP) exhibit a lack of use or disregard of the affected upper limb. The aim of the present study was to develop, adapt, and verify the psychometric properties of a neuropsychological battery to assess body perception and representation disturbances in children with HCP. Three g

15. Propriedades psicométricas de CANS-MCI: um teste computadorizado para avaliação do comprometimento cognitivo leve em idosos / Psychometric properties of the CANS-MCI - a computerized test for evaluation of mild cognitive impairment in elderly
Introdução: O Computer-Administered Neuropsychological Screen For Mild Cognitive Impairment (CANS-MCI) é um teste computadorizado para o rastreio do Comprometimento Cognitivo Leve (CCL). O CCL é considerado um estado transicional entre o envelhecimento normal e é uma condição de risco para o desenvolvimento de demências. Diante disso, sua detecção

16. Relação entre volume hipocampal e volume de ressecção cirúrgica com controle de crises e desempenho de memória em pacientes com epilepsia de lobo temporal mesial submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico / Relationship between hippocampal volume and surgical resection volume with seizure control and memory performance in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy undergoig surgical treatment
Epilepsy is the second most frequent neurological disease and temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common form of focal epilepsy and is more frequently associated to refractoriness and memory decline. The epileptogenic lesion can be studied through magnetic resonance imaging, EEG and other tests, facilitating the indication of surgery that aims to reduce seizu

17. Correlação entre atrofia hipocampal e déficit de memória em pacientes com epilepsia de lobo temporal mesial / Correlation between hippocampal atrophy and memory deficits in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (MTLE) is the most common focal epilepsy in adults and is usually associated with hippocampal atrophy (HA) which is recognized by highresolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It consists of a syndrome that is often refractory to clinical treatment and patients may have memory deficits due to hippocampal system damage, howeve

18. Investigando o processamento de narrativas na lesão cerebral de hemisfério direito
Advances in neuroscience have allowed us a more refined study of language processing, and hemispheric specialization. In relation to text processing, previous research has indicated a greater involvement of the left hemisphere (LH), associated with text integration, which means, the understanding of macrostructure, and the creation of an appropriate situatio

21. Avaliação da percepção e da representação do corpo em crianças com Paralisia Cerebral Hemiplégica
Body awareness or perception of ones own body is a fundamental process for controlling the action. Body knowledge is an egocentric reference that allows us to act in our surroundings. Recent studies demonstrate that the processing of knowledge related to the body include several representations and that there are at least three different types of body repres

22. The use of the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) in neuropsychological assessment: application in Brazilian research with control children and adults with neurological disorders
Computerized neuropsychological tests can be effective and have many benefits. This paper addresses these issues using the computer-based Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) to assess Brazilian children and adults. Preliminary normative data for Brazilian children obtained in a series of CANTAB subtests are presented together with da

24. Detection of cognitive impairment in the elderly by general internists in Brazil
BACKGROUND: Cognitive impairment, from mild forms to dementia, is an important social and health concern, principally among older individuals. Elderly patients are usually followed by general internists, who may overlook this condition. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to determine whether cognitive impairment diagnosed by specialists had been previously detected by g
