Mid‐childhood autism sibling recurrence in infants with a family history of autism
(Wiley, 2024-07-08)Autism sibling recurrence in prospective infant family history studies is ~20% at 3 years but systematic follow-up to mid-childhood is rare. In population and clinical cohorts autism is not recognized in some children until ... -
Exploring Fantasy Football Involvement and Mental Health through Player Experience, Engagement Levels, Social Comparisons, and Financial Incentives
(SAGE Publications, 2024-06-13)Background Fantasy sports are a rapidly growing complement to the sports industry and recent research has explored the mental health experiences of those who play the game. Aim This study aimed to test the findings from ... -
Noxious stimulation induces self-protective behavior in bumblebees
(Cell Press, 2024-07-02)It has been widely stated that insects do not show self-protective behavior towards noxiously-stimulated body parts, but this claim has never been empirically tested. Here, we tested whether an insect species displays a ... -
Hidden in plain sight: delayed ADHD diagnosis among girls and women - a commentary on Skoglund et al. (2023).
(Wiley, 2024-05-26)Skoglund et al. (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023) finds women with ADHD experience a nearly 4-year delay in receiving an ADHD diagnosis compared to men, despite also having high rates of prior contact with ... -
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 ... -
Mapping the differential impact of spontaneous and conversational laughter on brain and mind: an fMRI study in autism.
(Oxford University Press, 2024-05-16)Spontaneous and conversational laughter are important socio-emotional communicative signals. Neuroimaging findings suggest that non-autistic people engage in mentalizing to understand the meaning behind conversational ... -
A Falls Risk Screening Tool Based on Millimetre-Wave Radar
(Scitepress, 2024-01-01)Falls among the older adults pose a global health concern, necessitating innovative approaches for timely and effective falls risk screening. Aiming to develop a real-time falls risk screening tool, this study explores the ... -
Neural markers of reduced arousal and consciousness in mild cognitive impairment.
(Wiley, 2024-06-04)OBJECTIVES: People with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) experience changes in their level and content of consciousness, but there is little research on biomarkers of consciousness in pre-clinical AD and Mild Cognitive Impairment ... -
Synergistic information supports modality integration and flexible learning in neural networks solving multiple tasks.
(Public Library of Science, 2024-06-03)Striking progress has been made in understanding cognition by analyzing how the brain is engaged in different modes of information processing. For instance, so-called synergistic information (information encoded by a set ... -
Process evaluation of a Structured E-parenting Support (STEPS) in the OPTIMA randomised controlled trial: a protocol.
(2024-05-17)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 ... -
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 ...
