Poststroke Cell Therapy of the Aged Brain by Aurel Popa-Wagner, Madalina Filfan, Adriana Uzoni, Pouya Pourgolafshan, Ana-Maria Buga

“…Our group proved that important differences appear in the aged brain compared with young one, that is, the accelerated progression of ischemic area, or the delayed initiation of neurological recovery. In this light, these age-related aspects should be carefully evaluated in the clinical translation of neurorestorative therapies. …”

Risk-taking propensity and its influence on lexical decision performance: a comparative study of high- and low-risk groups by Sangyub Kim, Joonwoo Kim, Solbin Lee, Kichun Nam

“…We examined the impact of risk-taking propensity on lexical decision performance in neurologically intact participants. Following the classification of participants into high- and low-risk-taking propensity groups using the Balloon Analogue Risk Task, we assessed lexical decision-making with behavioral responses (RTs, ACC), signal detection measures (hit, false alarm, miss, correct rejection) and qualitative processing using lexical variable effects (number of syllables, first syllable frequency, stem frequency, word frequency) between the groups. …”
