Less attention is paid to the effects of diabetes on task switching (TS). Switching between tasks is a higher-order cognitive function which is executed through prefrontal cortex. Given that there are brain structural abnormalities (i.e., atrophy in cortical/subcortical gray matter volume and hyperintensities in cerebral white matter), reduced connectivity between hippocampus and adjacent brain regions (frontal and temporal gyri),展开更多
文摘INTRODUCTIONType 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the fastest growing medical conditions associated with cognitive dysfunctions. Less attention is paid to the effects of diabetes on task switching (TS). Switching between tasks is a higher-order cognitive function which is executed through prefrontal cortex. Given that there are brain structural abnormalities (i.e., atrophy in cortical/subcortical gray matter volume and hyperintensities in cerebral white matter), reduced connectivity between hippocampus and adjacent brain regions (frontal and temporal gyri),
