  • Title: a Review of the Perceptual and Attentional-Executive Characteristics of Dementia with Lewy Bodies Relative to Alzheimer A
    Title: A review of the perceptual and attentional-executive characteristics of dementia with Lewy bodies relative to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease Authors: Lauren Revie 1, Anthony Bayer 2, Christoph Teufel1, Claudia Metzler-Baddeley1 Affiliation: 1Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre, School of Psychology, Cardiff University, Maindy Road, Cardiff, CF24 4HQ 2University Hospital Llandough, Penlan Road, Penarth, Cardiff, CF64 2XX Corresponding author: Lauren Revie Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) Maindy Road Cardiff Wales United Kingdom CF24 4HQ [email protected] Declaration of interest: The authors have no declaration of interest to declare. Funding: This work was funded by the School of Psychology Open Competition Studentship, Cardiff University, awarded to LR as part of a doctoral programme of study. 1 Abstract Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative dementia disorder, after Alzheimer’s disease (AD). DLB is characterised clinically by cognitive fluctuations, visual hallucinations, rapid-eye-movement sleep behaviour disorder, and Parkinsonism. Differentiating DLB from AD and related disorders of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Parkinson’s disease with dementia (PDD) can be difficult at early disease stages due to overlapping clinical and pathological features. Nevertheless, it has been shown that visuoperceptual, attention and executive deficits, relative to memory impairments, are especially prominent in the early stages of DLB compared with AD or PD. The importance of these impairments is reflected in the recent revision of the diagnostic consensus guidelines of DLB. As the last reviews of cognitive impairments in DLB were conducted over a decade ago (Collerton, Burn, McKeith & O’Brien, 2003; Metzler-Baddeley, 2007; Ralph, 2001), we provide an up-to-date review of the literature into perceptual and attention- executive functions in DLB.

Attentional deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ADHD is the most common childhood neurodevelopmental disorder, affecting 3-5% of children worldwide. Stephan Collishaw and Anita Thapar have shown that genetic, medical and family factors are risks for adverse outcomes, but we need to understand risk and resilience to ADHD.

Removing barriers to de-institutionalisation Estimated 8 million children grow up in institutional care worldwide (UNICEF, 2009), research show this increases risk of child mental health conditions. Katherine Shelton, in partnership with Hope and Homes for Children, has shown that national attitudes towards vulnerable children influences how services are developed and deployed.

  • Investigating Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Health and Epilepsy Using Magnetoencephalography
    Investigating resting-state functional connectivity in health and epilepsy using Magnetoencephalography Bethany Charlotte Routley Supervisors: Krish D. Singh and Khalid Hamandi A thesis submitted to Cardiff University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2017 Summary It is now widely accepted that different areas of the brain are functionally connected even in the absence of explicit task demands, the so-called 'resting-state'. Differences in resting-state connectivity between groups are increasingly used as a marker of pathology in a number of neurological diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. However, in order for a specific pattern of functional connectivity to represent a valid biomarker, it must be proven to be stable and reliably measurable in the absence of disease or disorder. Further, much is still unknown about the biological basis and purpose of resting-state activity, that may help to elucidate the functional relevance in patient groups. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a technique that is well suited to the study of resting-state connectivity because it provides a direct inference of synchronised neuronal activity. In chapter two of this thesis, the test-retest repeatability of two different approaches to assessing functional coupling of brain areas using MEG is examined. Having established a preferential analysis pipeline, chapter three compares frequency band-limited MEG connectivity with functional connectivity derived from BOLD-fMRI data. The connectivity pipeline is then used for two different applications. First, the approach is combined with pharmacological intervention in healthy subjects in order to investigate the role of AMPA receptors in the glutamate system on the MEG signal and functional connectivity (chapter four).
