Comparison of Cerebral Blood Flow in Regions Relevant to Cognition After Enzalutamide, Darolutamide, and Placebo in Healthy Volunteers: A Randomized Crossover Trial
(2023-05)Off-target central nervous system (CNS) effects are associated with androgen receptor (AR)-targeting treatments for prostate cancer. Darolutamide is a structurally distinct AR inhibitor with low blood–brain barrier ... -
Empathy and the work of clinical psychiatrists: narrative review
(2023-01)Clinical research suggests that empathy is associated with better clinical outcomes in various areas of medical care, raising the question of whether a similar effect occurs in psychiatry. The aim of this review is to ... -
The Power Threat Meaning Framework and the Climate and Ecological Crises
(2022-09)Climate change poses an existential threat to today’s and future generations. Within this context, important debates are taking place about the risk of individualising and de-contextualising both climate-related distress ... -
Déjà-vu? Neural and behavioural effects of the 5-HT 4 receptor agonist, prucalopride, in a hippocampal-dependent memory task
(2021-10)Cognitive deficits commonly accompany psychiatric disorders but are often underrecognised, and difficult to treat. The 5-HT4 receptor is a promising potential treatment target for cognitive impairment because in animal ... -
Clinical Prompt Learning with Frozen Language Models
(2022-05)Prompt learning is a new paradigm in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) field which has shown impressive performance on a number of natural language tasks with common benchmarking text datasets in full, few-shot, and ... -
Neuroenhancements in the Military: A Mixed-Method Pilot Study on Attitudes of Staff Officers to Ethics and Rules
(2022-02)Utilising science and technology to maximize human performance is often an essential feature of military activity. This can often be focused on mission success rather than just the welfare of the individuals involved. This ... -
The relationship between frequency content and representational dynamics in the decoding of neurophysiological data
(2022-02)Decoding of high temporal resolution, stimulus-evoked neurophysiological data is increasingly used to test theories about how the brain processes information. However, a fundamental relationship between the frequency ... -
Generalizing Brain Decoding Across Subjects with Deep Learning
(2022-05)Decoding experimental variables from brain imaging data is gaining popularity, with applications in brain-computer interfaces and the study of neural representations. Decoding is typically subject-specific and does not ... -
Examining the Neural Correlates of Error Awareness in a Large fMRI Study
(2022-01)Goal-directed behaviour is dependent upon the ability to detect errors and implement appropriate post-error adjustments. Accordingly, several studies have explored the neural activity underlying error-monitoring processes, ... -
A macroscopic link between interhemispheric tract myelination and cortico-cortical interactions during action reprogramming
(2021-12)Myelination has been increasingly implicated in the function and dysfunction of the adult human brain. Although it is known that axon myelination shapes axon physiology in animal models, it is unclear whether a similar ... -
Age-related response speed deficits arise from specific impairments in sensory evidence accumulation rate
(2021-11)Older adults exposed to enriched environments (EE) maintain relatively higher levels of cognitive function, even in the face of compromised markers of brain health. Response speed (RS) is often used as a simple proxy to ... -
Accurate expression quantification from nanopore direct RNA sequencing with NanoCount
(2021-11)Accurately quantifying gene and isoform expression changes is essential to understanding cell functions, differentiation and disease. Sequencing full-length native RNAs using long-read direct RNA sequencing (DRS) has the ... -
Understanding health anxiety in the COVID-19 pandemic
(2021-11)The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be one of the greatest public health challenges faced by the UK. Reported rates of psychiatric difficulties have increased and the mechanisms by which the pandemic has affected mental ... -
Roadblock: improved annotations do not necessarily translate into new functional insights
(2021-11)The advent of cost-effective high-throughput nucleotide sequencing means that information about the transcriptome is accruing at an exponential rate, rapidly refining our understanding of the diversity of gene products. ... -
Use of online cultural content for mental health and well-being during COVID-19 restrictions: cross-sectional survey
(2021-11)Aims and method To gain a deeper understanding of the use of online culture and its potential benefits to mental health and well-being, sociodemographic characteristics and self-reported data on usage, perceived mental ... -
Changes to management of hypertension in pregnancy, and attitudes to self-management: An online survey of obstetricians, before and following the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic
(2021-12)Objective This study aimed to understand the views and practice of obstetricians regarding self-monitoring for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (blood pressure (BP) and proteinuria), the potential for self-management ... -
Public mental health and nature: a paradigm shift
(2021-08)Purpose Drawing on experience of working in the area of mental health and the environment, key issues are examined, and the theoretical framework is explained, including the benefits to communities and to the local ... -
Altered network stability in progressive supranuclear palsy
(2021-07)The clinical syndromes of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) may be mediated by abnormal temporal dynamics of brain networks, due to the impact of atrophy, synapse loss and neurotransmitter deficits. We tested the ... -
Delineating between-subject heterogeneity in alpha networks with Spatio-Spectral Eigenmodes
(2021-10)Between subject variability in the spatial and spectral structure of oscillatory networks can be highly informative but poses a considerable analytic challenge. Here, we describe a data-driven modal decomposition of a ... -
Looking ahead in working memory to guide sequential behaviour
(2021-06)Working memory can maintain multiple sensory representations to serve unfolding sequential behaviour, such as while making tea or planning a route. How the human mind juggles internal representations as they become relevant ...
