Alcohol consumption is associated with reduced creatine levels in the hippocampus of older adults
(2019-11)Besides its well established susceptibility to ageing, the hippocampus has also been shown to be affected by alcohol consumption. Proton spectroscopy (1H-MRS) of the hippocampus, particularly at high-field 7T MRI, may ... -
Are People Ready for Personalized Brain Health? Perspectives of Research Participants in the Lifebrain Consortium
(2019-11)Background and Objectives A healthy brain is central to physical and mental well-being. In this multi-site, qualitative study, we investigated views and attitudes of adult participants in brain research studies on the ... -
The autoantibody-mediated encephalitides: from clinical observations to molecular pathogenesis
(2019-10)The autoimmune encephalitis (AE) syndromes have been characterised by the detection of autoantibodies in serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid which target the extracellular domains of specific neuroglial antigens. The clinical ... -
A common neural network architecture for visual search and working memory
(2020-09)Visual search and working memory (WM) are tightly linked cognitive processes. Theories of attentional selection assume that WM plays an important role in top-down guided visual search. However, computational models of ... -
Effect of glucose and sucrose on cognition in healthy humans: a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventional studies
(2020-06)Context: Evidence suggests that plasma glucose levels may influence cognitive performance, but this has not been systematically reviewed and quantified. Objective: The aim of this review was to investigate the potential ... -
Hippocampal network abnormalities explain amnesia after VGKCC-Ab related autoimmune limbic encephalitis
(2019-05)Objective Limbic encephalitis associated with antibodies to components of the voltage-gated potassium channel complex (VGKCC-Ab-LE) often leads to hippocampal atrophy and persistent memory impairment. Its long-term impact ... -
Investigating Different Levels of Bimanual Interaction With a Novel Motor Learning Task: A Behavioural and Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Study
(2021-11)In everyday life, we perform countless movements with our hands. Some, such as writing, drawing, or eating with chopsticks, require one hand alone, whereas others require the skilled interaction of both hands. For bimanual ... -
Learning to optimize perceptual decisions through suppressive interactions in the human brain
(2019-01)Translating noisy sensory signals to perceptual decisions is critical for successful interactions in complex environments. Learning is known to improve perceptual judgments by filtering external noise and task-irrelevant ... -
Modulation of the pupillary response by the content of visual working memory
(2019-09)Studies of selective attention during perception have revealed modulation of the pupillary response according to the brightness of task-relevant (attended) vs. -irrelevant (unattended) stimuli within a visual display. ... -
Premembering Experience: A Hierarchy of Time-Scales for Proactive Attention
(2019-10)Memories are about the past, but they serve the future. Memory research often emphasizes the former aspect: focusing on the functions that re-constitute (re-member) experience and elucidating the various types of memories ... -
Prospective task knowledge improves working memory-guided behaviour
(2019-07)Working memory (WM) is the ability to keep information online for a forthcoming task. WM theories have tended to focus on how sensory information is maintained, and less on how WM content is used for guiding behaviour. ... -
Sleep duration over 28 years, cognition, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure: a prospective cohort study
(2020-01)Study Objectives To examine the association between sleep duration trajectories over 28 years and measures of cognition, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure. We hypothesize that consistently meeting sleep ... -
The tempos of Performance
(2019-06)Human performance fluctuates over time. Rather than random, the complex time course of variation reflects, among other factors, influences from regular periodic processes operating at multiple time scales. In this review, ... -
Unimodal and bimodal access to sensory working memories by auditory and visual impulses
(2019-11)It is unclear to what extent sensory processing areas are involved in the maintenance of sensory information in working memory (WM). Previous studies have thus far relied on finding neural activity in the corresponding ... -
Visual fixation patterns during economic choice reflect covert valuation processes that emerge with learning
(2019-10)Visual fixations play a vital role in decision making. Recent studies have demonstrated that the longer subjects fixate an option, the more likely they are to choose it. However, the role of evaluating stimuli covertly ... -
Whole-brain white matter organization, intelligence, and educational attainment
(2019-03)General cognitive ability, sometimes referred to as intelligence, is associated with educational attainment throughout childhood. Most studies that have explored the neural correlates of intelligence in childhood focus ...
