The Boston Assessment of Traumatic Brain Injury–Lifetime (BAT-L) Semistructured Interview: Evidence of Research Utility and Validity
Fortier, Catherine; McGlinchey, ReginaObjective: Report the prevalence of lifetime and military-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) veterans and validate the Boston Assessment of TBI–Lifetime ... -
Conditional Discrimination Learning in Patients with Bilateral Medial Temporal Lobe Amnesia
Fortier, Catherine; Disterhoft, John F.; Capozzi, Stephen; Kilduff, Patrick; Cronin-Golomb, Alice; McGlinchey, Regina (American Psychological Association (APA), 2003-12)The ability of bilateral medial temporal lobe amnesic patients (MT; n = 8) and normal participants (NC; n = 8) to acquire a conditional discrimination in trace and delay eyeblink conditioning paradigms was investigated. ... -
Correspondence of the Boston Assessment of Traumatic Brain Injury-Lifetime (BAT-L) Clinical Interview and the VA TBI Screen
Fortier, Catherine; Amick, Melissa M.; Kenna, Alexandra; Milberg, William; McGlinchey, Regina (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2015-01)Objective Mild traumatic brain injury is the signature injury of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), and Operation New Dawn (OND), yet its identification and diagnosis is controversial and ... -
Delay Discrimination and Reversal Eyeblink Classical Conditioning in Abstinent Chronic Alcoholics
Fortier, Catherine; Steffen, Elizabeth M.; LaFleche, Ginette; Venne, Jonathan R.; Disterhoft, John F.; McGlinchey, Regina (American Psychological Association (APA), 2008-03)Evidence has shown that alcoholism leads to volume reductions in brain regions critical for associative learning using the eyeblink classical conditioning paradigm (EBCC). Evidence indicates that cerebellar shrinkage causes ... -
Effects of OEF/OIF-Related Physical and Emotional Co-Morbidities on Associative Learning: Concurrent Delay and Trace Eyeblink Classical Conditioning
McGlinchey, Regina E.; Fortier, Catherine B.; Venne, Jonathan R.; Maksimovskiy, Arkadiy L.; Milberg, William P. (MDPI, 2014)This study examined the performance of veterans and active duty personnel who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and/or Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) on a basic associative learning task. Eighty-eight individuals ... -
Implicit Memory in Korsakoff’s Syndrome: A Review of Procedural Learning and Priming Studies
Hayes, Scott M.; Fortier, Catherine; Levine, Andrea; Milberg, William; McGlinchey, Regina (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-05-17)Korsakoff’s syndrome (KS) is characterized by dense anterograde amnesia resulting from damage to the diencephalon region, typically resulting from chronic alcohol abuse and thiamine deficiency. This review assesses the ... -
Neurobiological Indicators of Disinhibition in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Sadeh, Naomi; Spielberg, Jeffrey M.; Miller, Mark; Milberg, William; Salat, David; Amick, Melissa M.; Fortier, Catherine; McGlinchey, Regina (Wiley, 2015-08)Deficits in impulse control are increasingly recognized in association with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To our further understanding of the neurobiology of PTSD‐related disinhibition, we examined alterations in ... -
Procedural Memory System Supports Single Cue Trace Eyeblink Conditioning in Medial Temporal Lobe Amnesia
McGlinchey, Regina; Capozzi, Stephen M.; Fortier, Catherine; Disterhoft, John F. (American Psychological Association (APA), 2008-03)A number of studies investigating trace eyeblink conditioning have found impaired, but not eliminated, acquisition of conditioned responses (CRs) in both animals and humans with hippocampal removal or damage. The underlying ... -
Reduced Cortical Thickness in Abstinent Alcoholics and Association with Alcoholic Behavior
Fortier, Catherine; Leritz, Elizabeth; Salat, David; Venne, Jonathan R.; Maksimovskiy, Arkadiy; Williams, Victoria; Milberg, William; McGlinchey, Regina (Wiley, 2011-12)Background Chronic misuse of alcohol results in widespread damage to the brain. Prior morphometric studies have examined cortical atrophy in individuals with alcoholism; however, no previous studies have examined ... -
Silent Trace Eliminates Differential Eyeblink Learning in Abstinent Alcoholics
Maksimovskiy, Arkadiy L.; Fortier, Catherine B.; Venne, Jonathan Ryan; Lafleche, Ginette; McGlinchey, Regina (Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI), 2009)Chronic alcoholism has profound effects on the brain, including volume reductions in regions critical for eyeblink classical conditioning (EBCC). The current study challenged abstinent alcoholics using delay (n = 20) and ... -
Spared Discrimination and Impaired Reversal Eyeblink Conditioning in Patients with Temporal Lobe Amnesia
Carrillo, M.C.; Fortier, C.; Gabrieli, John; Hopkins, Robin; McGlinchey-Berroth, R; Kesner, R; Disterhoft, JasonThe effect of medial temporal lobe damage on a two tone delay discrimination and reversal paradigm was examined in human classical eyeblink conditioning. Eight medial temporal lobe amnesics and their demographically matched ... -
Widespread Effects of Alcohol on White Matter Microstructure
Fortier, Catherine; Leritz, Elizabeth; Salat, David; Lindemer, Emily R.; Maksimovskiy, Arkadiy; Shepel, Juli; Williams, Victoria; Venne, Jonathan R.; Milberg, William; McGlinchey, Regina (Wiley, 2014-12)Background Evidence suggests that chronic misuse of alcohol may preferentially affect the integrity of frontal white matter tracts, which can impact executive functions important to achieve and maintain abstinence. M ...
