Long-term working memory deficits after concussion: electrophysiological evidence

Ozen, Lana J., Itier, Roxane J., Preston, Frank F., Fernandes, Myra A.·2013·Brain Injury

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Persistent complaints of lingering memory and concentration difficulties are common following a concussion, although the brain basis of these is unknown. Some suggest abnormalities can be found on the P300 event-related potential component, recorded using electroencephalography (EEG), despite unobservable cognitive impairments. OBJECTIVE: To examine the P300 and cognitive performance following a remote concussion during an n-back task that varies in working memory load. RESEARCH DESIGN: Seventeen participants with a remote concussion and 17 controls performed a visual n-back task in which working memory demands were systematically increased by manipulating cognitive load. Participants also completed neuropsychological and self-report measures. RESULTS: The concussion group showed a decrease in P300 amplitude compared to controls that was independent of working memory load on the n-back task. While no performance differences were observed between groups, P300 amplitude was negatively correlated with response times at higher loads in both groups. CONCLUSION: High functioning young adults with a remote concussion may have inefficient recruitment of processing resources for target identification, evident by the attenuated P300. The negative correlations between response time and P300 amplitude suggest that the time necessary to accurately respond to targets increases as the efficiency of allocating processing resources decreases during highly demanding working memory…

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • EEG studies have demonstrated differences in ERP amplitude, increased alpha power, and poor fronto-parietal coherence during verbal and visuospatial working memory tasks in mTBI.

    “Using EEG, differences in the amplitude of event-related potentials (ERPs) (Bernstein, 2002;Ozen, Itier, Preston, & Fernandes, 2013), increased alpha power (Arakaki et al., 2018) and poor coherence (the temporal dependence of neuronal activity across brain regions) between fronto-parietal regions during verbal and visuospatial working memory tasks has also been demonstrated in mTBI (Cudmore, 2000;”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
