The virtual Morris water maze for cognitive function assessment in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

Neuropsychological assessments and neuroimaging techniques have indicated impaired spatial working memory in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. We investigated the influence of diabetes-related factors on their spatial navigation performance.

Methods

Spatial navigation performance on the virtual Morris water maze task (vMWMT) was evaluated in adolescents with type 1 diabetes and compared with that of healthy control adolescents of similar age and sex. Collected data on diabetes-related variables included disease duration, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at diagnosis and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics during the 2 weeks preceding the assessment, with focus upon nocturnal values measured during the night before testing. Time to first move, time to platf
