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 ... -
The role of context in counterfactual thinking
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Psychology, 2002)The aim of this thesis is to examine the mental representations and cognitive processes involved in counterfactual thinking, that is, in imagining how past events might have happened differently. In chapter 1, we review ... -

Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying signal transduction in the Hippocampal formation : the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Psychology, 2002)We investigated the possibility that BDNF might play a role in the modulation of synaptic function in the hippocampal formation. Our experiments have focused on the regulation of endogenous BDNF systems in spatial learning ... -
