Brookhaven's Seminar Snapshots

"Neurobehavioral Correlates of Mood Disorder"

Presenter: Michael R. Basso, Ph.D

Date: May 3, 2006

Synopsis:

"Some depressed inpatients experience cognitive impairment that impedes their ability to understand information presented during informed consent. Cueing and recognition recall can enhance the ability of cognitively impaired inpatients to provide consent. Memory impairment (CVLT-II performance) was the best predictor of the inability to understand consent material.
Given that some depressed inpatients may be at risk, these individuals should be carefully screened for cognitive impairment in order to assure that these individuals are being treated in an ethical manner."
