before obtaining diagnosis of FTD. There is no conclusive evidence

about the anatomical correlation of psychotic features in the FTD,

although there is the possible association with the right brain

degeneration.

Conclusions

The existence of psychotic symptoms do not argues

against the diagnosis of FTD verifying a high frequency of psychosis

in FTD – C9

+

. As can be the first symptom in FTD is critical to differ-

entiate psychiatric disorders. Further studies are needed in order

to obtain a better characterization of psychotic symptoms in FTD –

Introduction

The severemental disorders are the subject of grow-

ing research in the area of emotional intelligence because of his

relationship with psychosocial functionality loss. Despite treat-

ment advances, patients continue to experience high levels of

social, professional and personal disabilities, related to the pres-

ence of deficits in cognition. These changes are manifested in two

areas: the neurocognitive and social cognition.

Objectives

To better understand the relationship between neuro-

and sociocognition in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Aims

The aim of this research is to study the factors related to

emotional intelligence, with particular interest in neurocognitive

deficits.

Methods

A total of 75 adult patients with schizophrenia and

bipolar disorder type I were evaluated. The assessment protocol

consisted of a questionnaire on socio-demographic and clinical-

care data, and a battery of clinical and cognitive scales, including

MSCEIT, WAIS-IV, TMT and Rey Figure.

Results

MSCEIT was negatively correlated with age, the severity

of the clinical symptoms (BPRS, CGI-S), the TMT-A and the Test of

Complex Figure, and positively with the intelligence quotient.

Conclusions

The deficits in emotional intelligence are part of a set

of cognitive, social and non-social skills, which are altered in these

severe mental disorders. Emotional intelligence worsens with the

deterioration of cognitive functioning, executive dysfunction and

severity of psychiatric disorder.

Introduction

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common chronic

neurologic disease affecting young people. Cognitive dysfunction is

an important part of disability, interfering with quality of life (QoL).

Disease modifying therapies (DMT) are gold standard of long-term

treatment in MS.

Objectives

Assessment of DMT impact on evolution of cognitive

dysfunction.

Aims

To analyze the cognitive status in a lot of 74 patients with

MS, with a mean age of 40.4 years, treated with different DMT in

the National Health Program.

Methods

Testing patients during 2014–2015 for cognitive dys-

function, by applying MMSE, Sunderland Clock Test, Beck

Depression Inventory, Fatigue Impact Scale and QoL Short form-36

scores every 6months; analyzing demographic, clinical and mag-

netic resonance imagery (MRI) data.

Results

Thirty-six percent of lot showed memory and concen-

tration changes (12 patients with secondary progressive MS, 15

with relapsing-remitting MS); mean age of these patients was

46.29 years, with a mean period of evolution of the disease of

9.8 years before starting DMT; cortical atrophy was present on MRI

in 37% of these patients. Mean age of those who didn’t present

cognitive disturbances was 37.01 years, with a mean period of

evolution of 6.2 years before starting DMT. Disturbances appeared

independently of the presence of cortical atrophy, as this marker

appeared in 5% of patients with no cognitive dysfunction.

Conclusions

When starting DMT, age and time of evolution of the

disease are essential for further developing of cognitive dysfunc-

tion. Mood and anxiety disturbances can be a prodromal marker

of neurocognitive troubles. DMT have neuroprotective outcome in

MS.

Studies on individuals without developmental disorder show that

mental representation of self-face is subject to a multimodal pro-

cess in the same way that the representation of the self-body is.

People with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) have a particular pat-

tern of face processing and a multimodal integration deficit.

The objectives of our study were to evaluate the self-face recogni-

tion and the effect of interpersonal multisensory stimulation (IMS)

in individuals with ASD. We aimed to show a self-face recognition

deficit and a lack of multimodal integration among this population.

IMS consisted of the presentation of a movie displaying an unfamil-

iar face being touched intermittently, while the examiner applied

the same stimulation synchronously or asynchronously on the par-

ticipant. The effect resulting from IMSwasmeasured on two groups

with or without ASD by a self-face recognition task on morphing

movies made from self-face and unfamiliar-face pictures.

There was a significant difference between groups on self-

recognition before stimulation. This result shows a self-face

recognition deficit in individuals with ASD. Results for the control

group showed a significant effect of IMS on self-face recognition in

synchronous condition. This suggests the existence of an update of

self-face mental representation bymultimodal process. In contrast,

there was no significant effect of IMS demonstrated in ASD group,
