Objective: This study aims to identify neurobiological correlations between cognitive, emotional/behavioral, and adaptive functioning, sleep disorders, and specific neuropsychological domains in individuals with Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS). A secondary aim is to define more effective rehabilitation strategies targeting deficient domains to support functional and adaptive...
Introduction: Intellectual giftedness (IG) is defined by superior cognitive functioning. Despite cognitive strengths, gifted individuals often exhibit asynchronous development and emotional or learning difficulties. In the digital era – characterized by rapid information flow and increased cognitive load – the emergence of a “digitised mind” may alter neurocognitive trajectories. This study...
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has raised critical concerns about its potential impact on children’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral development. The BECOME project (Behavioral, Emotional, and Cognitive Observations with Generator Real World Data) aimed to investigate developmental trajectories from childhood to adolescence using real-world psychometric data. The study primarily...
Scientific evidence suggest that higher levels of well-being are associated with slower cognitive decline during aging. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the Life Satisfaction Index (LSI) - one of the most frequently used measures of well-being - and cognitive decline, considering the role of cognitive reserve (CR) and sex differences. Longitudinal data from the Swedish National...
Il crescente sviluppo nel campo dell’e-health ha evidenziato nuove opportunità per la cura e l’intervento psicologico a distanza, in particolare attraverso tecnologie indossabili che possano favorire un senso di autoefficacia. Partendo da questa premessa, il presente studio ha avuto l’obiettivo di indagare il ruolo delle neurotecnologie di supporto all’interno di protocolli di neuroempowerment...
Introduction: Cognitive reserve (CR) refers to the capacity of the brain to sustain cognitive performance despite age-related changes or pathophysiological conditions. Human brain mapping techniques, particularly task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (tb-fMRI), have been instrumental in exploring its underlying neural correlates. CR is traditionally assessed through socio-behavioral...
