Access to health care of persons with disabilities as an indicator of equity in health systems
(2011)The outcomes of certain health services can be used to assess the overall effectiveness of a health care system. For example, maternal mortality is an indicator of the quality of a country?s maternal health services, which ... -
Activation and deactivation during the rapid visual information processing task: an fMRI study.
(MIT Press, 2003)Sustained attention deficits occur in several neuropsychi- atric disorders. However, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms are still incompletely understood. To that end, functional MRI was used to investigate ... -
Acute effects of cocaine on the neurobiology of cognitive control
(Royal Society Publishing, 2008)Compromised ability to exert control over drug urges and drug-seeking behaviour is a characteristic of addiction. One specific cognitive control function, impulse control, has been shown to be a risk factor for the development ... -
Adapting an Internet-delivered intervention for depression for Colombian college student population: An illustration of an integrative empirical approach
(2019)Background: Culturally adapted psychotherapy (CAP) studies are limited and until now there are few published examples that illustrate the process of cultural adaptation with internet-delivered treatments. Aim: This paper ... -
Addressing Ethical Issues in the Design of Patient & Caregiver Monitoring Technology in Aged Care Settings
(Nova Publishers, 2020)The monitoring and evaluation of patient health and wellbeing, along with the quality of care delivery is critical to patient safety. The aged care sector has faced many scandals about the quality of aged care services. ... -
Adolescent binge drinking disrupts normal trajectories of brain functional organization and personality maturation
(2019)Adolescent binge drinking has been associated with higher risks for the development of many health problems throughout the lifespan. Adolescents undergo multiple changes that involve the co-development processes of brain, ... -
Advancing a "Human Factors & Ethics Canvas" for New Driver Assistance Technologies Targeted at Older Adults
(Springer, Cham, 2020)Automated driving solutions represent a potential solution to promoting driver persistence and the management of fitness to drive issues in older adults. This paper reports on the application of a ‘Human Factors & Ethics ... -
Aerobic exercise improves hippocampal function and increases BDNF in the serum of young adult males
(2011)Physical activity has been reported to improve cognitive function in humans and rodents, possibly via a brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-regulated mechanism. In this study of human subjects, we have assessed the ... -
Amygdalar reactivity is associated with prefrontal cortical thickness in a large population-based sample of adolescents
(2019)In structural neuroimaging studies, reduced cerebral cortical thickness in orbital and ventromedial prefrontal regions is frequently interpreted as reflecting an impaired ability to downregulate neuronal activity in the ... -
Anorexia, bulimia, and obesity: Shared decision making deficits on the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT).
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)The pathological eating behaviors in Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), and obesity are characterized by a preference for high immediate reward, despite higher future losses in terms of both physical and psychological ... -
The Anterior Cingulate and Error Avoidance
(Society for Neuroscience, 2006)The precise role of the anterior cingulate cortex in monitoring, evaluating, and correcting behavior remains unclear despite numerous theories and much empirical data implicating it in cognitive control. The present ... -
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 ... -
Anticipatory planning reveals segmentation of cortical motor output during action observation
(2015)It has been argued that the variation in brain activity that occurs when observing another person reflects a representation of actions that is indivisible, and which plays out in full once the intent of the actor can be ... -
Appreciative Inquiry, a LightHouse on a Foggy Path: Healthcare Teams Share Success Stories
(2019)As a psychologist I believed I had a good understanding of group dynamics and organisational change principles. As my project began, I was optimistic about being able to support multidisciplinary colleagues and act as a ... -
Are auditory-evoked frequency and duration mismatch negativity (MMN) deficits endophenotypic for schizophrenia? High-density electrical mapping in clinically unaffected first-degree relatives, recent-onset and chronic schizophrenia
(Elsevier, 2008)Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a negative-going event-related potential (ERP) component that occurs in response to intermittent changes in constant auditory backgrounds. A consistent finding across a large number of studies ...
