Acupuncture compared with oral antihistamine for type I hypersensitivity itch and skin response in adults with atopic dermatitis - a patient- and examiner-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)Background Itch is the major symptom of atopic dermatitis (AD). Acupuncture has been shown to exhibit a significant effect on experimental itch in AD. Our study evaluated acupuncture and anti-histamine itch therapy ... -
Attentional Load Effects on Beta Oscillations in Healthy and Schizophrenic Individuals
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)Attentional deficits are prominent among the cognitive disturbances found in schizophrenia. Given that schizophrenia is also characterized by abnormalities in high-frequency oscillations, we investigated whether attentional ... -
Attentional modulation of emotional stimulus processing: An fMRI study using emotional expectancy
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2006)We used emotional expectancy to study attentional modulation in the processing of emotional stimuli. During functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), volunteers saw emotional and neutral expectancy cues signaling the ... -
Attentional networks and cingulum bundle in chronic schizophrenia?
(Elsevier BV, 2007)Thirty patients with chronic schizophrenia and 30 age-matched controls performed the Attention Network Test (ANT). A subset of the patient group (n=18) also had available magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) ... -
The central role of the prefrontal cortex in directing attention to novel events
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2000)The physiological basis for the striking decrease of attention to novel events following frontal lobe injury is poorly understood. In this study, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded from patients with frontal ... -
Do Multielement Visual Tracking and Visual Search Draw Continuously on the Same Visual Attention Resources?
(American Psychological Association (APA), 2005)Multielement visual tracking and visual search are 2 tasks that are held to require visual-spatial attention. The authors used the attentional operating characteristic (AOC) method to determine whether both tasks draw ... -
Early nicotine withdrawal and transdermal nicotine effects on neurocognitive performance in schizophrenia
(Elsevier BV, 2008)As cigarette smoking prevalence rates approach 90% in schizophrenia, an important emerging question is the role of nicotine in the disease-related disturbance in cognition. We therefore tested a total of 38 male cigarette ... -
Factors in sensory processing of prosody in schizotypal personality disorder: An fMRI experiment
(Elsevier BV, 2010)Introduction—Persons diagnosed with schizophrenia demonstrate deficits in prosody recognition. To examine prosody along the schizophrenia spectrum, antipsychotic-naïve schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) subjects and ... -
Higher Physical Activity Is Associated with Increased Attentional Network Connectivity in the Healthy Elderly
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the potential alterations in structural network properties related to physical activity (PA) in healthy elderly. We recruited 76 elderly individuals with normal cognition from ... -
Olivocochlear efferent function: issues regarding methods and the interpretation of results
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)As studies of the olivocochlear (OC) efferent system have matured, issues have been identified that need to be taken into account in the design of new studies and in the interpretation of existing work. The need for high ... -
Semantic disturbance in schizophrenia and its relationship to the cognitive neuroscience of attention
(Elsevier BV, 2001)We view schizophrenia as producing a failure of attentional modulation that leads to a breakdown in the selective enhancement or inhibition of semantic/lexical representations whose biological substrata are widely distributed ... -
Surgery plus anesthesia induces loss of attention in mice
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)There is a need to develop animal models to study postoperative delirium. Inattention is one of the symptoms of delirium. Increases in the levels of α-synuclein and S100β have been reported to be associated with delirium. ...
