Using neuroplasticity-based auditory training to improve verbal memory in schizophrenia (American Journal of Psychiatry (2009) DOI: 10.1176/appi.ajp.2009. 08050757)

Melissa Fisher
- 01 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated an innovative approach to the remediation of verbal memory in schizophrenia, based on principles derived from the basic neuroscience of learning-induced neuroplasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using Neuroplasticity-Based Auditory Training to Improve Verbal Memory in Schizophrenia

Melissa Fisher, +3 more
- 01 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: Intensive training in early auditory processes and auditory-verbal learning results in substantial gains in verbal cognitive processes relevant to psychosocial functioning in schizophrenia, due to a training method that addresses the early perceptual impairments in the illness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognitive Training for Impaired Neural Systems in Neuropsychiatric Illness

Sophia Vinogradov, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: A systems neuroscience rationale for successful cognitive training for neuropsychiatric illnesses is presented, one that emphasizes the distributed nature of neural assemblies that support cognitive and affective processing, as well as their plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computerized Cognitive Training Restores Neural Activity within the Reality Monitoring Network in Schizophrenia

Karuna Subramaniam, +5 more
- 23 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: These findings demonstrate that a serious behavioral deficit in schizophrenia, and its underlying neural dysfunction, can be improved by well-designed computerized cognitive training, resulting in better quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor a biomarker for cognitive enhancement in schizophrenia?

Sophia Vinogradov, +5 more
- 15 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: Serum BDNF levels are significantly increased in clinically stable, chronically ill schizophrenia subjects after neuroplasticity-based cognitive training, but not after computer games, suggesting this biomarker may serve as a peripheral biomarker for the effects of intensive cognitive training.
