61 However, only the subgroup with a high level of cardiovascular fitness, measured at follow-up, was able to preserve performance in episodic memory recognition, while the low-fit subgroup deteriorated from postintervention to 1-year follow-up.
The 3-arm randomized COllaborative Care to Preserve PErformance in Cancer (COPE) Trial compared: 1) enhanced usual care, 2) rehabilitation services targeting physical impairments and immobility via the TCM-RS, and 3) TCM-RS plus conventional TCM pain management TCM-RS + Pain.
Duzel, E., Schutze, H., Yonelinas, A. P. & Heinze, H. J. Functional phenotyping of successful aging in long-term memory: preserved performance in the absence of neural compensation.
This enhancement of contralateral PMd is accompanied by preserved performance in a stimulus-response matching task.
This enhancement of contralateral PMd is accompanied by preserved performance in a conditional action selection task.
Indeed, prefrontal patients may demonstrate preserved performance in tasks where switches are cued, but impaired performance when the switches have to be self-generated (Burgess, 2000; Shallice and Burgess, 1991).
Thus, activation of the lateral premotor loop may constitute a dynamic, compensatory mechanism due to dopaminergic withdrawal accounting for preserved performance in externally cued tasks as frequently observed in clinical practice.
However, unambiguous evidence for effective reorganization requires not only contralateral activity, but also an association both with damage to regions in the left hemisphere that are typically involved in a specific function in healthy controls and with preserved performance in the relevant domain.
MCI subjects fulfilled the Petersen's diagnostic criteria [ 15], including subjective memory complaints, normal general cognition, preserved performance in activities of daily living, absence of dementia and a measurable impairment in memory function, with or without deficit in other cognitive domains [ 16].
Modern technology allows engineers to preserve performances with a clarity that was impossible back in the fifties.
This research has shown that effective reorganization resulting in preserved performance is underpinned by increases either in right-hemisphere activity (Weiller et al., 1994; Buckner et al., 1996; Blasi et al., 2002; Leff et al., 2002; Fernandez et al., 2004; Winhuisen et al., 2005; Voets et al., 2006) or by perilesional activity in the left-hemisphere (Breier et al., 2004).
