Keywordsmultiple sclerosis, brain waves. central nervous system, cognitive impairmentsCollegeFamily, Home, and Social SciencesAbstractMultiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. Studies show that 40-70% of individuals with MS have cognitive impairments in memory, executive functioning, attention, and processing speed (Rogers and Panegyres, 2007).

DiscussionThis study contributes to the growing body of literature describing both acute and chronic symptoms of COVID-19 in an ethnically and racially diverse group of Americans. We uniquely centered the experience of COVID-19 around participant prioritized symptoms and explored how coping profiles related to the experience of COVID-19 disease and PACS. The most common symptoms reported by our diverse cohort were cough, fatigue, and body aches/joint pains.

Keywordsrecognition memory, perceptual fluency, primingAbstractRepetition priming has been shown to be independent of recognition memory. Thus, the severely amnesic patient E.P. has demonstrated intact stem completion priming and perceptual identification priming, despite at-chance performance on recognition memory tasks. It has also been shown that perceptual fluency can influence feelings of familiarity, in the sense that items perceived more quickly tend to be identified as familiar.

KeywordsHippocampus, Recognition Memory, receiver operating characteristic (ROC)AbstractThe receiver operating characteristic (ROC) has been used to investigate the component processes of recognition memory. Some studies with this technique have been taken to indicate that the hippocampus selectively supports the process of recollection, whereas adjacent cortex in the parahippocampal gyrus supports the process of familiarity.

KeywordsAmnesia, Hypoxia, Hippocampus, Basal forebrain, Memory, AttentionAbstractHuman anterograde amnesia can develop following bilateral damage to the hippocampus and medial temporal lobes, as in hypoxic brain injury, or following damage to the basal forebrain, as following anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysm rupture. In both cases, the mnestic deficit may be similar when assessed by standard neuropsychological measures.
