Global genetic variations predict brain response to faces.
(2014)Face expressions are a rich source of social signals. Here we estimated the proportion of phenotypic variance in the brain response to facial expressions explained by common genetic variance captured by ∼ 500,000 single ... -
Positive association of video game playing with left frontal cortical thickness in adolescents.
(2014)Playing video games is a common recreational activity of adolescents. Recent research associated frequent video game playing with improvements in cognitive functions. Improvements in cognition have been related to grey ... -
Distinctive voices, not arbitrary sounds, enhance the visual recognition of faces
(2015)Several studies have provided evidence in favour of a norm-based representation of faces in memory. However, such models have hitherto failed to take account of how other person-relevant information affects face recognition ... -
Non-use of Formal Health Services in Malawi: Perceptions from Non-users.
(2014)BACKGROUND: The study upon which this paper is based was undertaken to understand users' and non-users' perceptions concerning facilitators and barriers to equitable and universal access to health care in resource-poor ... -
Heart Rate Measurement during Stereotyped Motor Behavior in Autism Spectrum Disorder
(Springer, 2015)Previous research has suggested that a relationship may exist between physiological arousal and engagement in motor stereotypy among children and adolescents with autism. It has been speculated that levels or alterations ... -
The efficacy of internet-delivered treatment for generalized anxiety disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2015)Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is typically considered a chronic condition characterized by excessive worry. Lifetime prevalence is 4.3–5.9%, yet only a small percentage seeks treatment. GAD is treatable and in recent ... -

Chronic immobilization stress occludes in vivo cortical activation in an animal model of panic induced by carbon dioxide inhalation.
(2014)Breathing high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) can trigger panic and anxiety in humans. CO2 inhalation has been hypothesized to activate neural systems similar to those underlying fear learning, especially those ... -
The sound-induced flash illusion reveals dissociable age-related effects in multisensory integration.
(2014)While aging can lead to significant declines in perceptual and cognitive function, the effects of age on multisensory integration, the process in which the brain combines information across the senses, are less clear. ... -
The effects of a self-alert training (SAT) program in adults with ADHD
(2015)Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a neuropsychiatric condition characterized by attention and impulsivity problems, is one of the most common behavioral disorders. The first line of treatment for ADHD is ... -
Anticipatory planning reveals segmentation of cortical motor output during action observation
(2015)It has been argued that the variation in brain activity that occurs when observing another person reflects a representation of actions that is indivisible, and which plays out in full once the intent of the actor can be ... -
Paired associative transcranial alternating current stimulation increases the excitability of corticospinal projections in humans
(2015)Many types of non-invasive brain stimulation alter corticospinal excitability (CSE). Paired associative stimulation (PAS) has attracted particular attention as its effects ostensibly adhere to Hebbian principles of neural ... -
The irregular firing properties of thalamic head direction cells mediate turn-specific modulation of the directional tuning curve.
(2014)HEAD DIRECTION (HD) cells in anterior thalamus express a wide range of interspike intervals (ISIs) (Taube 2010). Given the importance of HD encoding for spatial navigation in the environment, it is crucial to understand ... -
Respiratory cycle entrainment of septal neurons mediates the fast coupling of sniffing rate and hippocampal theta rhythm.
(2014)Memory for odour information may result from temporal coupling between the olfactory and hippocampal systems. Respiration defines the frequency of olfactory perception, but how the respiratory rate affects hippocampal ...
