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) ... -
Cerebellum and cognition: Evidence for the encoding of higher order rules
(2013)Converging anatomical and functional evidence suggests that the cerebellum processes both motor and nonmotor information originating from the primary motor cortex and prefrontal cortex, respectively. However, it has not ... -
Changes in language use mediate expressive writings benefits on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) following Myocardial Infarction
(2014)The present study assessed linguistic mediators on the effects of expressive writing on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), depression and anxiety following myocardial infarction (MI). One hundred and twenty-one cardiac ... -
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 ... -
Characterisation of executive deficits in attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder and avenues for their remediation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Psychology, 2007)Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects both children and adults and is associated with a range of behavioural and cognitive difficulties. This thesis aims to ... -
