INTRODUCTION Graph theory is a state of the art approach to assess functional connectivity (FC) disruption in neurological disorders. However, this methodology does not allow distinction between positive and negative FC correlations; negative correlations, or anticorrelations, are usually either discardes or taken as positive values, and therefore its influence is rarely studied. RESEARCH QUESTION In the present study, we used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to construct cross-frequency networks, and studied the positive and negative correlations independently and jointly, to evaluate the contri

Considering the difficulty in finding a reversible cure for dementia, research and clinical focus have shifted towards modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline, with sleep disturbances gaining attention especially in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Given the significant impact of sleep disturbances on cognitive decline in MCI, this study explores the relationship between psychological factors, including depression, anxiety, and stress, and insomnia among older adults with MCI. 145 Greek older adults were recruited from an outpatient memory clinic in Athens. The sample m

Wobble board-based Exergaming of different intensities provides a unique approach to enhance different cognitive and balance parameters . This study aims to determine that which of the cognitive and balance components are greatly affected by wobble board exergaming of different intensities in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).In this study ninety-seven MCI participants (MoCA 18-24, aged 50-75 years) were randomly assigned into mild, moderate, high intensity novel wobble board based exergaming, and control. All groups received 24 sessions (40 minutes/session, 3 times/week). Diffe
