25 On being autoimmune in psychiatric places: 10 characteristic mental state features in patients with definite NMDAR-antibody encephalitis
(2019-05)Objectives/Aims: NMDAR-antibody encephalitis frequently presents with psychiatric symptoms. However, new-onset mental illness does not usually receive detailed biomedical investigations. Yet, early diagnosis and treatment ... -
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 ... -
Be there on time: Spatial-temporal regularities guide young children’s attention in dynamic environments
(2020-12)It is believed that children have difficulties in guiding attention while facing distraction. However, developmental accounts of spatial attention rely on traditional search designs using static displays. ... -
A between-task consequence of temporal expectations
(2021-11)In everyday life, we often anticipate the timing of one upcoming task or event while actively engaging in another. Here, we investigated temporal expectations within such a multi-task scenario. In a visual working-memory ... -
Challenging the psychiatry–neurology divide: the case of autoimmune encephalitis
(2022-03)A new case series describes a cohort of individuals with severe psychiatric presentations who were diagnosed with ‘possible’ or ‘probable’ autoimmune encephalitis on the basis of neurological examination. Many participants ... -
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. ... -
The psychopathology of NMDAR-antibody encephalitis in adults: a systematic review and phenotypic analysis of individual patient data
(2019-03)Early immunotherapy administration improves outcomes in patients with N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-antibody encephalitis. As most patients with NMDAR-antibody encephalitis present to psychiatrists, the psychopathology ... -
The relationship between short- and long-term memory is preserved across the age range
(2022-06)The aim of the current study was to examine cross-sectionally the changes in the relationship between short- and long-term memory with age. In two experiments, participants across the age-range were tested on contextual-spatial ... -
Shielding working-memory representations from temporally predictable external interference
(2021-05)Protecting working-memory content from distracting external sensory inputs and intervening tasks is a ubiquitous demand in daily life. Here, we ask whether and how temporal expectations about external events can help ... -
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 ... -
A Structural Brain Network of Genetic Vulnerability to Psychiatric Illness
(2020-05)Psychiatry is undergoing a paradigm shift from the acceptance of distinct diagnoses to a representation of psychiatric illness that crosses diagnostic boundaries. How this transition is supported by a shared neurobiology ...
