Virtual reality cognitive remediation tool for individuals with mild cognitive impairment
Introduction With the growing older adult population, the European Union emphasizes the need to promote research in healthy aging trough multidisciplinary and innovative approaches, including the integration of advanced technologies like virtual reality (VR) in cognitive rehabilitation. This reflects the increasing awareness of the importance of addressing challenges related to neurodegenerative diseases in the older adult population. Our study a…
Enhancing Physical Activity with Immersive Virtual Reality
The aim of this article is to review how immersive virtual reality-enhanced physical activity (IVR-PA) can be used to improve psychological, physiological, and performance outcomes linked to exercising and to compare it with non-immersive virtual reality-enhanced physical activity (nIVR-PA) and with traditional physical activity (TR-PA). We also aimed to explore the effectiveness of IVR-PA in promoting psychological well-being and engagement in p…
Food-related aversion in a female sample of people with anorexia nervosa
OBJECTIVE: Food-related anxiety and avoidance are key features of anorexia nervosa, and among the most arduous maintaining processes to address in treatment. This study gathered information on the behavioural and cognitive correlates of food-related anxiety, including their associations with early experiences of aversive learning related to food, and more general anxiety. METHODS: One-hundred and forty-four patients with anorexia nervosa were rec…
Differential trajectories of tobacco smoking in people at ultra-high risk for psychosis
These findings suggests that in UHR subjects persistent tobacco smoking is associated with an unfavorable course of psychotic symptoms, whereas decrease in the number of cigarettes smoked is associated with improvement in affective symptoms. Future research into smoking cessation interventions in the early stages of psychoses is required to shine light on the potential of modifying smoking behavior and its relation to clinical outcomes
Differences between homeless and non-homeless people in a matched sample referred for mental health reasons in police custody
INTRODUCTION: Homelessness has risen across high-income countries in the last decade, and in the United Kingdom, there has been a drastic increase in people living on the streets. Due to these increases, policy responses from public services are required to address the needs of this group. The risk factors for homelessness and conditions that this group live in mean they are at elevated risk of both mental health problems and contact with the cri…
The Provision of Education and Employment Support At the Outreach and Support in South London (Oasis) Service for People at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis
Clinical services for the early detection of individuals at clinical high risk of psychosis, such as Outreach and Support in South-London (OASIS), have been successful in providing psychological intervention and psychosocial support to young people experiencing emerging signs of serious mental disorders. Despite this, several studies have repeatedly shown that vocational and functional recovery in the clinical high risk for psychosis population i…
Basic Self-Disturbances Related to Reduced Anterior Cingulate Volume in Subjects at Ultra-High Risk for Psychosis
Introduction: Alterations of the "pre-reflective" sense of first-person perspective (e.g., of the "basic self") are characteristic features of schizophrenic spectrum disorders and are significantly present in the prodromal phase of psychosis and in subjects at ultra-high risk for psychosis (UHR). Studies in healthy controls suggest that neurobiological substrate of the basic self involves cortical midline structures, such as the anterior and post…
