Affective and Neural Reactivity to Criticism in Individuals High and Low on Perceived Criticism
(Public Library of Science, 2012)People who have remitted from depression are at increased risk for relapse if they rate their relatives as being critical of them on a simple self-report measure of Perceived Criticism (PC). To explore neural mechanisms ... -
Diffusion imaging of mild traumatic brain injury in the impact accelerated rodent model: A pilot study
(Informa UK Limited, 2017-06-19)PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: There is a need to understand pathologic processes of the brain following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Previous studies report axonal injury and oedema in the first week after injury in a rodent ... -
Disrupting the Brain to Validate Hypotheses on the Neurobiology of Language
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2013)Comprehension of words is an important part of the language faculty, involving the joint activity of frontal and temporo-parietal brain regions. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) enables the controlled perturbation ... -
Enhanced Fidelity to Treatment for Bipolar Disorder: Results From a Randomized Controlled Implementation Trial
(American Psychiatric Publishing, 2014)Background We determined whether application of a novel implementation intervention (Enhanced Replicating Effective Programs-REP) versus its standard, dissemination-focused version (REP) improved fidelity to bipolar ... -
Evolution of In-Group Favoritism
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012)In-group favoritism is a central aspect of human behavior. People often help members of their own group more than members of other groups. Here we propose a mathematical framework for the evolution of in-group favoritism ... -
Excessive Extracellular Volume Reveals a Neurodegenerative Pattern in Schizophrenia Onset
(Society for Neuroscience, 2012)Diffusion MRI has been successful in identifying the existence of white matter abnormalities in schizophrenia in vivo. However, the role of these abnormalities in the etiology of schizophrenia is not well understood. ... -
Failure to Modulate Attentional Control in Advanced Aging Linked to White Matter Pathology
(Oxford University Press, 2012)Advanced aging is associated with reduced attentional control and less flexible information processing. Here, the origins of these cognitive effects were explored using a functional magnetic resonance imaging task that ... -
The functional impact of subsyndromal depressive symptoms in bipolar disorder: Data from STEP-BD
(Elsevier BV, 2009)Background This report describes baseline characteristics and functional outcomes of subjects who have prospectively observed subsyndromal symptoms after a major depressive episode (MDE). Methods All subjects were ... -
Label Space: A Coupled Multi-shape Representation
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2008)Richly labeled images representing several sub-structures of an organ occur quite frequently in medical images. For example, a typical brain image can be labeled into grey matter, white matter or cerebrospinal fluid, each ... -
Life Goals Collaborative Care for Patients With Bipolar Disorder and Cardiovascular Disease Risk
(American Psychiatric Publishing, 2012)Objectives The goal of this randomized controlled pilot study was to determine whether Life Goals Collaborative Care (LGCC) compared to enhanced treatment as usual, reduced cardiometabolic factors and improved outcomes ... -
Master Clinician Review: Parental Depression and Family Health and Wellness: What Clinicians Can Do and Reflections on Opportunities for the Future
(Elsevier BV, 2019-08-01)The study of parental depression in families with depressed children, and the development of appropriate family prevention strategies to assist families with depressed parents, have expanded and improved significantly ... -
Memory for Semantically Related and Unrelated Declarative Information: The Benefit of Sleep, the Cost of Wake
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Numerous studies have examined sleep's influence on a range of hippocampus-dependent declarative memory tasks, from text learning to spatial navigation. In this study, we examined the impact of sleep, wake, and time-of-day ... -
Mental Health Collaborative Care and its Role in Primary Care Settings
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2013)Collaborative care models (CCMs) provide a pragmatic strategy to deliver integrated mental health and medical care for persons with mental health conditions served in primary care settings. CCMs are team-based intervention ... -
Multivoxel Pattern Analysis Reveals Auditory Motion Information in MT+ of Both Congenitally Blind and Sighted Individuals
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Cross-modal plasticity refers to the recruitment of cortical regions involved in the processing of one modality (e.g. vision) for processing other modalities (e.g. audition). The principles determining how and where ... -
Neural Specificity for Grammatical Operations is Revealed by Content-Independent fMR Adaptation
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012)The ability to generate novel sentences depends on cognitive operations that specify the syntactic function of nouns, verbs, and other words retrieved from the mental lexicon. Although neuropsychological studies suggest ... -
On Describing Human White Matter Anatomy: The White Matter Query Language
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2013)The main contribution of this work is the careful syntactical definition of major white matter tracts in the human brain based on a neuroanatomist’s expert knowledge. We present a technique to formally describe white matter ... -
One-Year Treatment Outcomes of African-American and Hispanic Patients With Bipolar I or II Disorder in STEP-BD
(American Psychiatric Publishing, 2010)Objective Few studies have compared treatment outcomes of African-American, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white patients with bipolar disorder. The U.S. Systematic Treatment Enhancement Program for Bipolar Disorder compared ... -
Perceived Stress Predicts Altered Reward and Loss Feedback Processing in Medial Prefrontal Cortex
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Stress is a significant risk factor for the development of psychopathology, particularly symptoms related to reward processing. Importantly, individuals display marked variation in how they perceive and cope with stressful ... -
A Phenotype of Early Infancy Predicts Reactivity of the Amygdala in Male Adults
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011)One of the central questions that has occupied those disciplines concerned with human development is the nature of continuities and discontinuities from birth to maturity. The amygdala plays a central role in the processing ... -
Posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and health-related quality of life in patients with bipolar disorder: Review and new data from a multi-site community clinic sample
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Background Evidence suggests that patients with bipolar disorder have an elevated risk for comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared to those without a bipolar diagnosis. Although bipolar disorder is ...
