In fact, Prigatano et al [25] stated that the NR success is related to programs, which focus not only on cognitive functions but also on subjective aspects (emotions and motivation). Moreover, it was observed through functional neuroimaging greater activation in the prefrontal cortex area during this game [26,27].…”
