Early Functional Limitations in Cognitively Normal Older Adults Predict Diagnostic Conv... - 1 views

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used to record brain activation during cognitive testing in older individuals living in residential care communities. Using fNIRS, brain signals were recorded during a series of computerized cognitive tests, including a Symbol Digit Coding test (SDC), Stroop Test (ST), and Shifting Attention Test (SAT). An association between advanced age and increased activation in the right middle frontal region was observed during the incongruent ST. Although none of the participants had clinical dementia based on the short portable mental status questionnaire, the group performance was slightly below age-normed values on these cognitive tests. These results demonstrate the capability for obtaining functional neuroimaging measures in residential settings, which ultimately may aid in prognosis and care related to dementia in older adults. If families are educated to look for signs for family members that have dementia they are easily able to discuss long term planning and prevent adverse events due to impaired cognition.
