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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
