Effect of automaticity induced by treadmill walking on prefrontal cortex activation and dual-task performance in older adults.

PLoS ONE, 2023
As individuals age, they may experience a decline in gait automaticity, which requires increased attentional resources for the control of gait. This age-related decline in gait automaticity has been shown to contribute to higher prefrontal cortex (PFC ...

Comparative effects of arithmetic, speech, and motor dual-task walking on gait in stroke survivors: a cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
BackgroundThe application of dual-task walking paradigms for gait assessment in stroke patients is critical, where varying concurrent tasks may elicit distinct gait patterns of dual-task interference.

Effectiveness and cost of integrated cognitive and balance training for balance and falls in cerebellar ataxia: a blinded two-arm parallel group RCT

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundIn patients with cerebellar ataxia (CA), dual-tasking deteriorates the performance of one or both tasks.ObjectiveEvaluate the effects of 4 weeks of cognitive-coupled intensive balance training (CIBT) on dual-task cost, dynamic balance, disease ...

It is not good to talk: conversation has a fixed interference cost on attention regardless of difficulty

Cognitive Research, 2018
It is well-documented that telephone conversations lead to impaired driving performance. Kunar et al. (Psychon Bull Rev 15:1135–1140, 2008) showed that this deficit was, in part, due to a dual-task cost of conversation on sustained visual attention ...

Running and Thinking: Unmasking the Lingering Effects of Sports Concussions Through Complex Dual-Task Testing

Sports
Objective: This study investigated gait and cognitive dual-task costs under a dual-task paradigm that was more challenging than the traditional tasks used in research. Methods: A total of 43 18–25-year-old male and female student athletes were recruited (

Dual-Task Performance in Older Adults With and Without Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022
Two of the main features of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) are disturbed gait and cognition. These features are typically investigated separately, but here we combined walking with a cognitive task to investigate if older adults with ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Comparison between the Impacts of Memory and Arithmetic-Based Dual Tasks on Physical Performance in Women with Fibromyalgia

Biology, 2022
Background: Fibromyalgia symptoms have a significant impact on the ability to perform activities of daily living. These activities require the ability to perform two or more tasks at the same time, which is known as a dual task.

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Expanding dual-task research by a triple-task

Open Psychology, 2022
Multitasking research in the laboratory is dominated by extremely simplistic dual-task paradigms. Although dual-tasks allow for some variations, they do not compare well to more complex everyday task settings.
