Given that several pesticides commonly used in food production have been linked to disease, declines in cognitive performance, developmental disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children, there is an urgent need for more in-depth analysis of these cumulative impacts, according to many scientists.
Secondly, we used cross-sectional data, rather than decline in cognitive performance over time.
Community violence exposure has been associated with attentional impairment, declines in cognitive performance (Saltzman 1996; Singer et al. 1995) and declines in school achievement (Bell and Jenkins 1991).
Increases in cortical 1, 2 and hippocampal lesion load 1 as well as decreases in magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) in both gray 3– 5 and normal-appearing white matter 3, 6, 7 have been shown to be associated with a decline in cognitive performance, suggesting that demyelination is an important factor in cognition dysfunction.
Here we show that a low dose of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) reversed the age-related decline in cognitive performance of mice aged 12 and 18 months.
By contrast, individuals with two APOE4 alleles experienced greater decline in cognitive performance and the magnitude of that decline decreased as years of educational attainment increased.
Rodents put on such diets show declines in cognitive performance within weeks.In the past few years, several studies have looked at the effect of adding omega-3s to people's diets particularly those of children.
The capacity for reversal of age- and reproductive senescence-related decline in cognitive performance, and changes in neural plasticity that may be dissociated from peripheral effects with such decline, are discussed.
Human brains start gradually losing tissue after age 30, and this shrinkage is matched by declines in cognitive performance.
Participants with DM in the 3rd tertile of total fat mass showed the greatest decline in cognitive performance compared to those in 1st tertile (tests for trend: MMSE(p = 0.007), CCS(p = 0.003)).
