Cognitive control in infancy: Attentional predictors using a tablet‐based measure
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Cognitive control is a predictor of later‐life outcomes and may underpin higher order executive processes. The present study examines the development of early cognitive control ... -
Sudomotor function, thermoregulation and electrodermal control in the human brain
(Elsevier, 2024-02-24)Thermoregulation is a primal evolutionary requirement for all homeothermic animals, including humans, and the affective aspects, i.e., comfort and discomfort, of thermal feelings correspond to the motivations that are ... -
Blind individuals’ enhanced ability to sense their own heartbeat is related to the thickness of their occipital cortex
(bioRxiv, 2024-02-28)Blindness is associated with heightened sensory abilities, such as improved hearing and tactile acuity. Moreover, recent evidence suggests that blind individuals are better than sighted individuals at perceiving their own ... -
Distributed context-dependent choice information in mouse posterior cortex.
(2023-01-12)Choice information appears in multi-area brain networks mixed with sensory, motor, and cognitive variables. In the posterior cortex-traditionally implicated in decision computations-the presence, strength, and area specificity ... -
An automated platform for high-throughput mouse behavior and physiology with voluntary head-fixation.
(2017-10-30)Recording neural activity during animal behavior is a cornerstone of modern brain research. However, integration of cutting-edge technologies for neural circuit analysis with complex behavioral measurements poses a severe ... -
Transgenic mice for intersectional targeting of neural sensors and effectors with high specificity and performance.
(2015-03-04)An increasingly powerful approach for studying brain circuits relies on targeting genetically encoded sensors and effectors to specific cell types. However, current approaches for this are still limited in functionality ... -
Adaptation maintains population homeostasis in primary visual cortex.
(2013-06)Sensory systems exhibit mechanisms of neural adaptation, which adjust neuronal activity on the basis of recent stimulus history. In primary visual cortex (V1) in particular, adaptation controls the responsiveness of ... -
Restoration of vision after transplantation of photoreceptors.
(2012-05-03)Cell transplantation is a potential strategy for treating blindness caused by the loss of photoreceptors. Although transplanted rod-precursor cells are able to migrate into the adult retina and differentiate to acquire the ... -
Coding of stimulus sequences by population responses in visual cortex.
(2009-10)Neuronal populations in sensory cortex represent time-changing sensory input through a spatiotemporal code. What are the rules that govern this code? We measured membrane potentials and spikes from neuronal populations in ... -
Standing waves and traveling waves distinguish two circuits in visual cortex.
(2007-07-05)The visual cortex represents stimuli through the activity of neuronal populations. We measured the evolution of this activity in space and time by imaging voltage-sensitive dyes in cat area V1. Contrast-reversing stimuli ... -
A protocol for the process evaluation of a Structured E-parenting Support (STEPS) in the OPTIMA randomised controlled trial.
Introduction: Structured E-parenting Support (STEPS) is a digital application (app) designed to help parents manage behaviour of their children who are referred to mental health services and are waiting for an assessment ... -
Efficient coding of natural images in the mouse visual cortex.
(Springer Nature, 2024-03-19)How the activity of neurons gives rise to natural vision remains a matter of intense investigation. The mid-level visual areas along the ventral stream are selective to a common class of natural images-textures-but a ... -
Neural and behavioural indices of face processing in siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD): A longitudinal study from infancy to mid-childhood
(Elsevier, 2020-02-29)Impaired face processing is proposed to play a key role in the early development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and to be an endophenotypic trait which indexes genetic risk for the disorder. However, no published work ... -
Early developmental pathways to childhood symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety and autism spectrum disorder
(Wiley, 2018-07-02)Background Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have co-occurring symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or anxiety. It is unclear whether these disorders arise from shared or distinct ... -
ERP markers are associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes in 1-5 month old infants in rural Africa and the UK.
(2020-04-15)INTRODUCTION: Infants and children in low- and middle-income countries are frequently exposed to a range of poverty-related risk factors, increasing their likelihood of poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is a need for ... -
Older and younger adults' accuracy in discerning health and competence in older and younger faces.
(2014-09)We examined older and younger adults' accuracy judging the health and competence of faces. Accuracy differed significantly from chance and varied with face age but not rater age. Health ratings were more accurate for older ...
