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 ... -
Right hemispheric dominance of inhibitory control: an event-related fMRI study.
(National Academy of Science, 1999)Normal human behavior and cognition are reliant on a person?s ability to inhibit inappropriate thoughts, impulses, and actions. The temporal and spatial advantages of event-related functional MRI (fMRI) were exploited to ... -
Risk factors for the development of depression in patients with Hepatitis C taking Interferon-alpha.
(2010)Interferon-?, currently used for the treatment of hepatitis C, is associated with a substantially elevated risk of depression. However, not everyone who takes this drug becomes depressed, so it is important to understand ... -
The role of right fronto-parietal cortex in cognitive control: Common activations for ?cues-to-action? and response inhibition.
(Hogrefe & Huber Publishers, 2006)Seemingly distinct cognitive tasks often activate similar anatomical networks. For example, the right fronto-parietal cortex is active across a wide variety of paradigms suggesting that these regions may subserve a general ... -
The role of the midcingulate cortex in monitoring others' decisions.
(2013)A plethora of research has implicated the cingulate cortex in the processing of social information (i.e., processing elicited by, about, and directed toward others) and reward-related information that guides decision-making. ... -
The role of the posterior temporal and medial prefrontal cortices in mediating learning from romantic interest and rejection
(2014)Romantic interest or rejection can be powerful incentives not merely for their emotional impact, but for their potential to transform, in a single interaction, what we think we know about another person – or ourselves. ... -
Safety and/or hazard near miss reporting in an international energy company
(2011)This paper presents the preliminary progress of an industry driven programme to improve the data monitoring of safety/hazard near miss reporting from front line staff of a branch of a multinational energy supply company ... -
A Safety impact quantification approach for early stage innovative aviation concepts: Application to a third pilot adaptive automation concept
(EU Commision, 2016)This paper presents a straightforward approach for safety impact quantification of innovative aviation concepts in early development stages. The safety impact quantification approach provides ... -
Salivary cortisol levels and challenging behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder
(2015)A relationship between stress and challenging behavior in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been theorized but infrequently examined empirically. The current study sought to examine the relationship between ... -
Science is the search for generalizable processes - clinicians solve complex problems: A reply to Wilson on the importance of not confusing these two things
(Cambridge University Press, 2005)Barbara Wilson is a creative and influential clinician?scientist who has dedicated her working life to finding ways to rehabilitate brain-damaged people in all the confusing complexity of their damaged brains and lives. ... -
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 ... -
A selective effect of parietal damage on letter identification in mixed case words.
(Elsevier, 2007)We investigated the reading of cAsE mIxInG and contrast reduction on word reading in patients with unilateral parietal lesions and attentional deficits. We show that, compared with control participants, the patients produce ... -
Self in Schizophrenia: A Discourse Analysis
(2008)Objectives: Lysaker and Lysaker (2002) employ a dialogical theory of self in their writings on self disruption in schizophrenia. It is argued here that this theory could be enriched by incorporating a discursive and ... -
Serial attention within working memory.
(Psychonomic Society, 1998)It is proposed that people are limited to attending to just one ?object? in working memory (WM) at any one time. Consequently, many cognitive tasks, and much of everyday thought, necessitate switches between WM items. ... -
Shaping the Effects of Associative Brain Stimulation by Contractions of the Opposite Limb.
(2018)There has been an explosion of interest in methods that may promote neural plasticity by indirectly stimulating tissue in damaged brains using transient magnetic fields or weak electrical currents. A major limitation of ... -
Shaping the Future of Work in Financial Services Enterprises
(2020)Zarion and a team of researchers from the Trinity School of Psychology and School of Business are undertaking research about the future of work and the requirements for new intelligent work systems. This research is being ...
