Associations between polygenic risk scores for cardiometabolic phenotypes and adolescent depression and body dissatisfaction.
(2024-06-15)BACKGROUND: Adolescents with elevated body mass index (BMI) are at an increased risk for depression and body dissatisfaction. Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an established risk factor for depression. However, shared genetic risk ... -
Assumptions about the positioning of virtual stimuli affect gaze direction estimates during Augmented Reality based interactions
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019)We investigated gaze direction determination in dyadic interactions mediated by an Augmented Reality (AR) head-mounted-display. With AR, virtual content is overlaid on top of the real-world scene, offering unique data ... -
Astroglial Plasticity Is Implicated in Hippocampal Remodelling in Adult Rats Exposed to Antenatal Dexamethasone.
(2015)The long-term effects of antenatal dexamethasone treatment on brain remodelling in 3-month-old male Sprague Dawley rats whose mothers had been treated with dexamethasone were investigated in the present study. Dorsal ... -
Asymmetric contextual effects in age perception
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2020-12-01)Perception is context dependent. For example, the perceived orientation of a bar changes depending on the presence of oriented bars around it. Contextual effects have also been demonstrated for more complex judgements, ... -
Asymmetric contextual effects in age perception
(Royal Society, The, 2020-12-23)How old we think someone is determines how we interact with them [1–3], and most people regularly make age judgements based on facial appearance. For example, when assessing the age of a suspect in crime scenes, or in daily ... -
Asymmetric Synthesis of α-Quaternary γ-Lactams through Palladium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation.
(2019-02-01)The synthesis of chiral unsaturated γ-lactams is reported featuring a highly enantioselective palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of α,γ-disubstituted 2-silyloxypyrroles. This method allows a straightforward ... -
Attention modulates trans-saccadic integration.
(2018-01)With every saccade, humans must reconcile the low resolution peripheral information available before a saccade, with the high resolution foveal information acquired after the saccade. While research has shown that we are ... -
Attraction for familiar conspecifics in young chicks (Gallus gallus): an interbreed study
(Elsevier, 2021)From the beginning of life, discriminating between familiar and unfamiliar individuals and staying in contact with conspecifics are important to establish social relationships. To better understand these early social ...
