Atypical behavioural effects of lorazepam: Clues to the design of novel therapies?
(Elsevier, 2010-04)Aside from their pharmacokinetic properties, e.g. their speed of action and the duration of residual effects, benzodiazepines are still considered as equivalent in terms of their effects on cognition. Here we review evidence ... -
Divided attention in older but not younger adults is impaired by anxiety
(Taylor and Francis, 2003)It has been hypothesized that the disruptive effects of negative emotional states, such as anxiety and depression, may contribute to poorer performance in older age. Some studies have reported that higher levels of anxiety ... -
Electrophysiological entropy in younger adults, older controls and older cognitively declined adults.
(Elsevier, 2012-03-22)The current study examined electrophysiological entropy in younger adults, older adults, and older cognitively declined adults across four experimental conditions - eyes closed, eyes open, and during both encoding and ... -
