Pronounced negative symptoms have been linked to stronger impairments in recognition memory, psychomotor speed, attention or visuospatial abilities [ 22, 24- 27].
Notably, such CVD risk factors have been linked to the progression of MRI markers of brain ageing (e.g., white matter hyperintensities, brain atrophy, ventricular mass) [ 37– 42] and cognitive decline (verbal memory, visuospatial memory, and executive function) [ 42– 42].
It's linked to Versailles, to Marie Antoinette".
All three processes appear to be linked to performance on the RTT because the test commands must be analyzed, interpreted based on phonological, syntactic, and semantic processes, and summarized using motor output (which requires visuospatial analysis, planning, coordination, and working memory), perhaps explaining the correlations with cognitive test performance.
A three-week unicycling training was associated with (1) reductions of gray matter volume in regions closely linked to visuospatial processes such as spatial awareness, (2) increases in fractional anisotropy primarily in the right corticospinal tract and in the right forceps major of the corpus callosum, and (3) a slowly evolving increase in cortical thickness in the left motor cortex.
Visuospatial memory is closely linked to working memory, and pre-existing deficits in visuospatial memory in patients with MS have been found to affect working memory function.
