The mean Global Deterioration Scale score was 1.44 ± .91 (out of 7), also indicating few cognitive restrictions.
This small, but well defined study, adds to the understanding of the neuropathological mechanisms of NF1 by suggesting that not only the static GABA-ergic differences, but especially the impairments in dynamic GABA-ergic neurotransmission might underlie cognitive restrictions, such as demonstrated here within a motor skill acquisition task.
It involves elements of a traditional therapeutic approach, including "psychoeducation, sleep hygiene, stimulus control, sleep restriction, cognitive therapy, and relaxation".
Nowadays, strategies not involving medication, such as sleep hygiene education, sleep restriction, cognitive therapy or multi-component therapy, have proven to be successful for the treatment of sleep disorders [ 25- 27].
Nowadays, strategies not involving medication, such as sleep hygiene education, sleep restriction, cognitive therapy or multi-component therapy, have proven to be successful for the treatment of sleep disturbances [ 43- 45].
With noteworthy exceptions, which are partly due to varied methodologies of caloric restriction or cognitive assessment amongst scientists, CR is broadly considered to be beneficial for retarding aging-resultant cognitive decline [ Arslan-Ergul et al., 2013; Joseph et al., 2009].
Sharply reducing calories improves memory in older adults, according to one of the first studies of dietary restriction and cognitive function in humans.
Reports of effects of fetal growth restriction on cognitive outcome are inconsistent 21 and there is no reference group for comparison.
