Plasma Cobalamin Levels Affect Information Processing Speed in a Longitudinal Study of HIV-1 Disease
Arch Neurol 52:195-198, Shor-Posner,G.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Significant improvement in the Posner Letter Matching NI-PI(Name Identity minus Physical Identity)differential was associated with becoming cobalamin adequate or remaining adequate.Becoming cobalamin deficient,in contrast,was associated with a significant decline in the speed of accessing overlearned name codes.Normalization of plasma cobalamin inadequacy in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 disease may provide significant improvement in the speed of retrieving overlearned information from long-term memory.
