Abstract
This is a case study of a patient in her 50s who presents with severe malnutrition, alcohol dependence, and untreated Bipolar Affective Disorder. She was hospitalized multiple times and placed in a group home 1 year after symptom onset. Cognitive and functional improvements are observed over a 6-year period, as demonstrated by 3 comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations. Residing in a monitored and structured environment for 6 years, with stability in psychiatric medications, monitored nutrition and abstinence from alcohol are attributed to this improvement. This study provides unique evidence of the impact of balanced nutrition and improvements in psychiatric symptoms on cognition.
期刊介绍：
Neurocase is a rapid response journal of case studies and innovative group studies in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology that speak to the neural basis of cognition. Four types of manuscript are considered for publication: single case investigations that bear directly on issues of relevance to theoretical issues or brain-behavior relationships; group studies of subjects with brain dysfunction that address issues relevant to the understanding of human cognition; reviews of important topics in the domains of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology; and brief reports (up to 2500 words) that replicate previous reports dealing with issues of considerable significance. Of particular interest are investigations that include precise anatomical localization of lesions or neural activity via imaging or other techniques, as well as studies of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, since these diseases are becoming more common as our population ages. Topic reviews are included in most issues.
