Alpha Event-Related Decreases During Encoding in Adults with ADHD - An Investigation of Sustained Attention and Working Memory Processes.
(Elsevier, 2024-04-18)BACKGROUND: Executive functioning deficits are central to established neuropsychological models of ADHD. Oscillatory activity, particularly the alpha rhythm (8-12Hz) has been associated with cognitive impairments in ADHD. ... -
Gaucher disease protects against tuberculosis.
(2023-02-14)Biallelic mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA1) gene cause Gaucher disease, characterized by lysosomal accumulation of glucosylceramide and glucosylsphingosine in macrophages. Gaucher and other lysosomal diseases occur ... -
Transcriptional profiling of zebrafish identifies host factors controlling susceptibility to Shigella flexneri.
(Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2024-01-26)Shigella flexneri is a human-adapted pathovar of Escherichia coli that can invade the intestinal epithelium, causing inflammation and bacillary dysentery. Although an important human pathogen, the host response to S. ... -
P38 Mediates Tumor Suppression through Reduced Autophagy and Actin Cytoskeleton Changes in NRAS-Mutant Melanoma.
(2023-01-31)Hotspot mutations in the NRAS gene are causative genetic events associated with the development of melanoma. Currently, there are no FDA-approved drugs directly targeting NRAS mutations. Previously, we showed that p38 acts ... -
Conserved roles for Hnf4 family transcription factors in zebrafish development and intestinal function.
(2022-11-30)Transcription factors play important roles in the development of the intestinal epithelium and its ability to respond to endocrine, nutritional, and microbial signals. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 family nuclear receptors ... -
Young people's future thinking and mental health: The development and validation of the Adolescent Future Thinking Rating Scale.
(2023-10-03)OBJECTIVES: We aimed to develop and validate a new scale of future thinking and adolescent mental health-the Adolescent Future Thinking Rating Scale (AFTRS). METHODS: A provisional AFTRS was developed from interviews with ... -
Remote Recruitment Strategy and Structured E-Parenting Support (STEPS) App: Feasibility and Usability Study.
(2023-09-11)BACKGROUND: The Structured E-Parenting Support (STEPS) app provides support for parents of children with elevated hyperactivity, impulsivity, inattention, and conduct problems who are awaiting clinical assessment. STEPS ... -
A Unique Position and a Difficult Challenge: Banks’ Support of Individuals Experiencing Gambling-Related Financial Harm

Detecting Cognitive Decline in Early Alzheimer's Patients Using Wearable Technologies
(IEEE, 2020)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the world’s most common neurodegenerative disease. AD is characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive function. A growing body of evidence reveals that changes in cognitive, sensory, and ... -
Reciprocal Effects Between Negative Parenting and Children's Callous-Unemotional Traits From Mid to Late Childhood.
(2024-03-13)OBJECTIVE: The role of negative parenting in the development of callous-unemotional (CU) traits remains unclear. Both negative parenting and CU traits are influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The authors used ... -
Exploring the Interplay Between Message Format, Need for Cognition and Personal Relevance on Processing Messages About Physical Activity: a Two-Arm Randomized Experimental Trial.
(2023-06)BACKGROUND: According to the Elaboration Likelihood Model, persuasion can occur via two different routes (the central route and peripheral route), with the route utilized dependent on factors associated with motivation and ... -
First-sight recognition of touched objects shows that chicks can solve Molyneux’s problem
(The Royal Society, 2024-04-03)If a congenitally blind person learns to distinguish between a cube and a sphere by touch, would they immediately recognize these objects by sight once their vision is restored? This question, posed by Molyneux in 1688, ... -
Serotonin depletion impairs both Pavlovian and instrumental reversal learning in healthy humans.
(Springer Nature, 2021-08-24)Serotonin is involved in updating responses to changing environmental circumstances. Optimising behaviour to maximise reward and minimise punishment may require shifting strategies upon encountering new situations. Likewise, ... -
Maternal Trauma and Psychopathology Symptoms Affect Refugee Children's Mental Health But Not Their Emotion Processing.
(2024-03-02)Refugee children's development may be affected by their parents' war-related trauma exposure and psychopathology symptoms across a range of cognitive and affective domains, but the processes involved in this transmission ... -
Atypical action updating in a dynamic environment associated with adolescent obsessive-compulsive disorder.
(Wiley, 2022-05-10)BACKGROUND: Computational research had determined that adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) display heightened action updating in response to noise in the environment and neglect metacognitive information (such ... -
NetFACS: Using network science to understand facial communication systems.
(2022-08)Understanding facial signals in humans and other species is crucial for understanding the evolution, complexity, and function of the face as a communication tool. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) enables researchers ... -
