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 ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Assessing the efficacy and acceptability of an internet-delivered intervention for resilience among college students: A pilot randomised control trial protocol
(2019)Background: Exposure to new stressors places college students at increased risk for developing mental health problems. Preventive interventions aimed at enhancing resilience have the potential to improve mental health and ... -
