LO 1: characterize the five domains of cognitive function
|
memory
executive function visuospatial language attention |
|
|
LO 2: relate domains of cognitive function with the neural structures and circuits that subserve them:
Memory function |
Medial temporal lobe
o Hippocampus o Entorhinal cortex Diencephalon o Medial dorsal nucleus of thalamus o MMB Basal forebrain Basal ganglia Prefrontal cortex |
|
|
LO 2: relate domains of cognitive function with the neural structures and circuits that subserve them:
Executive Function |
Frontal association cortices
|
|
|
LO 2: relate domains of cognitive function with the neural structures and circuits that subserve them:
Attention |
Prefrontal cortex is key part of attentional network
o Mediates input from multiple cortical and subcortical regions including temporal, occipital and cingulate cortices Hippocampus Cerebellum |
|
|
LO 3: differentiate and characterize the different types of unsuccessful aging:
Dementia |
o Impairment in MEMORY + 1 other cognitive domain
o Impairment in social or occupational fxn |
|
|
LO 3: differentiate and characterize the different types of unsuccessful aging:
Mild Cognitive Impairment |
Mild difficulty with memory + some difficulty in judgment, planning, and with established activities – enough to compromise efficient ADLs but NOT sufficient to threaten independent living
|
|
|
LO 4: characterize the nature and neurobiological bases of the most common forms of dementia
Dementia |
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Vascular Dementia - Lewy-Body Disease - Frontotemporal Dementias (eg. Picks disease, Progressive Subcortical Gliosis) |
|
|
LO 4: characterize the nature and neurobiological bases of the most common forms of dementia
Neurobiological Basis of MCI |
Altered white matter
Focal loss of neurons in entorhinal cortex and hippocampus |
