The efficacy of SMART Arm training early after stroke for stroke survivors with severe upper limb disability: a protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
(2013)Abstract Background: When we move along in time with a piece of music, we synchronise the downward phase of our gesture with the beat. While it is easy to demonstrate this tendency, there is considerable debate as to ... -
Artificial Gravity Reveals that Economy of Action Determines the Stability of Sensorimotor Coordination
(2009)Abstract Background: When we move along in time with a piece of music, we synchronise the downward phase of our gesture with the beat. While it is easy to demonstrate this tendency, there is considerable debate as to ... -
Point-prevalence of depression and associated risk factors
(2014)The study aimed to assess levels of depressive symptoms and associated risk factors in a sample of students in Bogotá, Colombia. A convenient sample (N = 254) of students at the University Antonio Nariño, Bogotá was invited ... -
Internet-delivered treatment: its potential as a low-intensity community intervention for adults with symptoms of depression: protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
(2014)Background Depression is a high prevalence disorder, displaying high rates of lifetime incidence, early age onset, high chronicity, and role impairment. In Ireland 12-month prevalence of depression has been reported to be ... -
Low-intensity internet-delivered treatment for generalized anxiety symptoms in routine care: protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
(2014)Background: Worldwide prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is considered high; in Europe lifetime prevalence has been estimated at 4.3 to 5.9%. High levels of anxiety disorders have been reported in ... -
Differential regulation of synaptic plasticity of the hippocampal and the hypothalamic inputs to the anterior thalamus
(2009)The hippocampus projects to the anterior thalamic nuclei both directly and indirectly via the mammillary bodies, but little is known about the electrophysiological properties of these convergent pathways. Here we ... -
Prevalence and predictors of grandparent childcare in Ireland: Findings from a nationally representative sample of infants and their families
(Child Care in Practice, 2014)Introduction: Anecdotal evidence suggests that grandparents provide a substantial amount of childcare support to parents of infants in Ireland yet there has been little attention to the provision of grandparent childcare ... -
Segregation of parallel inputs to the anteromedial and anteroventral thalamic nuclei of the rat
(2013)Many brain structures project to both the anteroven tral thalamic nucleus and the anteromedial thalamic nucleus. In the present stud y, pairs of different tracers were placed into these two thalamic sites in the same ... -
The Impact of Cognitive Training and Mental Stimulation on Cognitive and Everyday Functioning of Healthy Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2014)This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the impact of cognitive training and general mental stimulation on the cognitive and everyday functioning of older adults without known cognitive impairment. We examine ... -
Suppressing the encoding of new information: A behavioral study derived from principles of hippocampal function.
(2013)Cognitive processes do not occur in isolation. Interactions between cognitive processes can be observed as a cost in performance following a switch between tasks, a cost that is greatest when the cognitive requirements ... -
Randomized parcellation based inference

A right hemisphere role in cognitive reserve
(2014)High levels of education, occupational complexity and/or premorbid intelligence are associated with lower levels of cognitive impairment than would be expected from a given brain pathology. This has been observed across a ... -
Older Adults Have Diminished Awareness of Errors in the Laboratory and Daily Life
(American Psychological Association, 2013-12)Poor recognition of the degree or scope of one?s own cognitive deficits is a common feature of many neurological conditions, including diseases of aging, but little is known about the impact the natural aging process has ... -
With a little help from my friends: experiences of building a virtual community for children with cancer
(2013)Approximately 31% of children under 18 years of age have a chronic physical illness or condition. (Tak & McCubblin, 2002) This population, along with their families, has a range of medical, developmental, social, emotional ... -
Neural pathways mediating cross education of motor function.
(2013-07-29)Cross education is the process whereby training of one limb gives rise to enhancements in the performance of the opposite, untrained limb. Despite interest in this phenomenon having been sustained for more than a century, ... -
The anterior thalamus provides a subcortical circuit supporting memory and spatial navigation.
(2013)The anterior thalamic nuclei (ATN), a central component of Papez' circuit, are generally assumed to be key constituents of the neural circuits responsible for certain categories of learning and memory. Supporting evidence ... -
Investigating Human Factors in Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing industries
(2011)The aim of this paper is to present the work carried out in a European Commission-funded project to adapt an existing Aircraft Maintenance Human Factors (HF) training program (STAMINA) to the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical ...
