Brain-predicted age difference score is related to specific cognitive functions: a multi-site replication analysis
Knight, Silvin; Kenny, Rose; Rizzo, Rossella; Robertson, Ian; Whelan, Robert (2020)Brain-predicted age difference scores are calculated by subtracting chronological age from ‘brain’ age, which is estimated using neuroimaging data. Positive scores reflect accelerated ageing and are associated with increased ... -
Examining the Role of the Noradrenergic Locus Coeruleus for Predicting Attention and Brain Maintenance in Healthy Old Age and Disease: An MRI Structural Study for the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.
Dockree, Paul; Robertson, Ian; Whelan, Robert; Kenny, Rose (2021)The noradrenergic theory of Cognitive Reserve (Robertson, 2013-2014) postulates that the upregulation of the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system (LC-NA) originating in the brainstem might facilitate cortical networks ... -
Extending the Construct Network of Trait Disinhibition to the Neuroimaging Domain: Validation of a Bridging Scale for Use in the European IMAGEN Project
Bokde, Arun; Whelan, Robert; Brislin, Sarah J.; Patrick, Christopher J.; Flor, Herta; Nees, Frauke; Heinrich, Angela; Drislane, Laura E.; Yancey, James R.; Banaschewski, Tobias; Bromberg, Uli; Büchel, Christian; Burke Quinlan, Erin; Desrivieres, Sylvane; Frouin, Vincent; Garavan, Hugh; Gowland, Penny; Heinz, Andreas; Ittermann, Bernd; Martinot, Jean-Luc; Paillère Martinot, Marie-Laure; Fröhner, Juliane H.; Smolka, Michael N.; Walter, Henrik; Conrod, Patricia; Stringaris, Argyris; Struve, Maren; van Noort, Betteke; Grimmer, Yvonne; Fadai, Tahmine; Schumann, Gunter; Foell, Jens; Papadopoulos Orfanos, Dimitri (2019)Trait disinhibition, a clinical-liability construct, has well-established correlates in the diagnostic, self-rating, task-behavioral, and brain potential response domains. Recently, studies have begun to test for neuroimaging ... -
Impaired information processing speed and attention allocation in multiple sclerosis patients versus controls: A high-density EEG study
Reilly, Richard; Whelan, Robert (2010)Background: The no-go P3a is a variant of the P300 event-related potential (ERP) that indexes speed of information processing and attention allocation. The aim of this study was to compare ERP findings with results from ... -
Temporal discrimination threshold: VBM evidence for an endophenotype in adult onset primary torsion dystonia.
Reilly, Richard; Whelan, Robert; Walsh, Richard; Hutchinson, Siobhan; Bradley, David (2009)Familial adult-onset primary torsion dystonia is an autosomal dominant disorder with markedly reduced penetrance. Most adult-onset primary torsion dystonia patients are sporadic cases. Disordered sensory processing is found ... -
Temporal discrimination, a cervical dystonia endophenotype penetrance and functional correlates
Reilly, Richard; Whelan, Robert; Bradley, David (2014) -
Verbal intelligence is a more robust cross-sectional measure of cognitive reserve than level of education in healthy older adults.
Knight, Silvin; Kenny, Rose; Robertson, Ian; Whelan, Robert (2021)Background: Cognitive reserve is most commonly measured using socio-behavioural proxy variables. These variables are easy to collect, have a straightforward interpretation, and are widely associated with reduced risk of ...
