DRD2/ANKK1 polymorphism modulates the effect of ventral striatal activation on working memory performance
(2014)Motivation is important for learning and cognition. Although dopaminergic (D2) transmission in the ventral striatum (VS) is associated with motivation, learning, and cognition are more strongly associated with function of ... -
Subregional basal forebrain atrophy in Alzheimer's disease: a multicenter study
(2014)Histopathological studies in Alzheimer's disease (AD) suggest severe and region-specific neurodegeneration of the basal forebrain cholinergic system (BFCS). Here, we studied the between-center reliability and diagnostic ... -
Neuropsychosocial profiles of current and future adolescent alcohol misusers.
(2014)A comprehensive account of the causes of alcohol misuse must accommodate individual differences in biology, psychology and environment, and must disentangle cause and effect. Animal models can demonstrate the effects of ... -
A headset method for measuring the visual temporal discrimination threshold in cervical dystonia.
(2014)BACKGROUND: The visual temporal discrimination threshold (TDT) is the shortest time interval at which one can determine two stimuli to be asynchronous and meets criteria for a valid endophenotype in adult-onset idiopathic ... -
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing for Helicobacter pylori in times of increasing antibiotic resistance.
(2014)The gram-negative bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) causes chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Treatment is recommended in all symptomatic ... -
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor deficiency ameliorates high-fat diet induced insulin resistance in mice with reduced adipose inflammation and hepatic steatosis.
(2014)Macrophage infiltration is a critical determinant of high-fat diet induced adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. The precise mechanisms underpinning the initiation of macrophage recruitment and activation are ... -
Personality, Attentional Biases towards Emotional Faces and Symptoms of Mental Disorders in an Adolescent Sample.
(2015)Objective To investigate the role of personality factors and attentional biases towards emotional faces, in establishing concurrent and prospective risk for mental disorder diagnosis in adolescence. Method Data were ... -
Objective assessment of spectral ripple discrimination in cochlear implant listeners using cortical evoked responses to an oddball paradigm.
(2014)Cochlear implants (CIs) can partially restore functional hearing in deaf individuals. However, multiple factors affect CI listener’s speech perception, resulting in large performance differences. Non-speech based tests, ... -
Oppositional COMT Val158Met effects on resting state functional connectivity in adolescents and adults.
(2014)Prefrontal dopamine levels are relatively increased in adolescence compared to adulthood. Genetic variation of COMT (COMT Val158Met) results in lower enzymatic activity and higher dopamine availability in Met carriers. ... -
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 ... -
Drug and cell delivery for cardiac regeneration.
(2015)The spectrum of ischaemic cardiomyopathy, encompassing acute myocardial infarction to congestive heart failure is a significant clinical issue in the modern era. This group of diseases is an enormous source of morbidity ... -
The Road Ahead to Cure Alzheimer's Disease: Development of Biological Markers and Neuroimaging Methods for Prevention Trials Across all Stages and Target Populations.
(2014)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slowly progressing non-linear dynamic brain disease in which pathophysiological abnormalities, detectable in vivo by biological markers, precede overt clinical symptoms by many years to decades. ... -
Nanomedicine applied to translational oncology: A future perspective on cancer treatment.
(2016)The high global incidence of cancer is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity worldwide. By taking advantage of the properties of matter at the nanoscale, nanomedicine promises to develop innovative drugs ...
