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, ... -
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 ... -
Category-dependent and category-independent goal-value codes in human ventromedial prefrontal cortex
(2013)To choose between manifestly distinct options, it is suggested that the brain assigns values to goals using a common currency. Although previous studies have reported activity in ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) ... -
Changes in resting connectivity with age: A simultaneous electroencephalogram and functional magnetic resonance imaging investigation.
(2013)Resting fluctuations in the blood oxygenation level-dependent signal have attracted considerable interest for their sensitivity to pathological brain processes. However, these analyses are susceptible to confound by nonneural ... -
Crossmodal priming of unfamiliar faces supports early interactions between voices and faces in person perception
(2017)Although faces and voices are important sources of information for person recognition, it is unclear whether these cues interact at a late stage to act as complementary, unimodal sources for person perception or whether ... -
Decoding signal processing in thalamo-hippocampal circuitry: Implications for theories of memory and spatial processing
(2015)A major tool in understanding how information is processed in the brain is the analysis of neuronal output at each hierarchical level through which neurophysiological signals are propagated. Since the experimental brain ... -
Dissociation of dorsal hippocampal regional activation under the influence of stress in freely behaving rats.
(2011)Stress has deleterious effects on brain, body, and behavior in humans and animals alike. The present work investigated how 30-min acute photic stress exposure impacts on spatial information processing in the main sub-regions ... -
Distinctive voices, not arbitrary sounds, enhance the visual recognition of faces
(2015)Several studies have provided evidence in favour of a norm-based representation of faces in memory. However, such models have hitherto failed to take account of how other person-relevant information affects face recognition ... -
Driver Persistence, Safety and Older Adult Self-efficacy: Addressing Driving Challenges Using Innovative Multimodal Communication Concepts
(Springer, Cham, 2020)New assisted driving technology provides a solution to enabling driver persistence while also addressing older adult fitness to drive issues. The proposed driver assistance system follows a detailed literature review, an ... -
Ethical Issues in the New Digital Era: The Case of Assisting Driving
(Intechopen, 2020)Mobility is associated with driving a vehicle. Age-related declines in the abilities of older persons present certain obstacles to safe driving. The negative effects of driving cessation on older adults’ physical, mental, ... -
The experience of guided online therapy: A longitudinal, qualitative analysis of client feedback in a naturalistic RCT
(ACM, 2020)Internet-delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT) is an effective treatment for depression and anxiety disorders. However longitudinal qualitative research into the client’s subjective experience of this form of ... -
fMRI activation during response inhibition and error processing: the role of the DAT1 gene in typically developing adolescents and those diagnosed with ADHD
(2011)The DAT1 gene codes for the dopamine transporter, which clears dopamine from the synaptic cleft, and a variant of this gene has previously been associated with compromised response inhibition in both healthy and clinical ... -
Human Dorsal Striatal Activity during Choice Discriminates Reinforcement Learning Behavior from the Gambler's Fallacy.
(2011)Reinforcement learning theory has generated substantial interest in neurobiology, particularly because of the resemblance between phasic dopamine and reward prediction errors. Actor-critic theories have been adapted to ... -
International Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care.
(Sage, 2021)This paper presents a preliminary concept for a ‘Mobile Phone App’ providing training in mindful hand hygiene integrated with the WHO hand hygiene protocol. A range of human factors action research methods were used to ... -
The irregular firing properties of thalamic head direction cells mediate turn-specific modulation of the directional tuning curve.
(2014)HEAD DIRECTION (HD) cells in anterior thalamus express a wide range of interspike intervals (ISIs) (Taube 2010). Given the importance of HD encoding for spatial navigation in the environment, it is crucial to understand ... -
Mapping adolescent reward anticipation, receipt, and prediction error during the monetary incentive delay task.
(2019)The functional neuroanatomy and connectivity of reward processing in adults are well documented, with relatively less research on adolescents, a notable gap given this developmental period’s association with altered reward ... -
Perceptual and social attributes underlining age-related preferences for faces
(2016)Although aesthetic preferences are known to be important in person perception and can play a significant role in everyday social decisions, the effect of the age of the observer on aesthetic preferences for faces of different ... -
Personal protective equipment training & lived experience for healthcare staff during COVID-19
(2022)Objectives: To describe the lived experience of healthcare staff during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic relating to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and investigate risks associated with PPE ... -
Pubertal maturation and sex effects on the default-mode network connectivity implicated in mood dysregulation
(2019)This study examines the effects of puberty and sex on the intrinsic functional connectivity (iFC) of brain networks, with a focus on the default-mode network (DMN). Consistently implicated in depressive disorders, the DMN’s ...
