Are PROMs just for patients? Piloting the Long-Term Conditions Questionnaire for use with patients and carers in memory clinic settings
(2020-05)Background & Aims The Long-Term Conditions Questionnaire (LTCQ) was developed for assessing the overall impact of long-term health conditions (LTCs) on quality of life. Enhancing quality of life for people affected by ... -
Association of midlife stroke risk with structural brain integrity and memory performance at older ages: a longitudinal cohort study
(2020-03)Cardiovascular health in midlife is an established risk factor for cognitive function later in life. Knowing mechanisms of this associationmay allow preventative steps to be taken to preserve brain health and cognitive ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Differential effects of poor recall and memory disjointedness on trauma symptoms
(2018)Clinical theories of PTSD suggest that trauma memories are disorganised. The present study examined how trauma film exposure affects two aspects of memory disorganisation, poor memory recall and memory disjointedness, and ... -
The effect of sertraline on emotional processing: secondary analyses of the PANDA randomised controlled trial
(2021-01)Background. According to the cognitive neuropsychological model, antidepressants reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety by increasing positive relative to negative information processing. Most studies of whether ... -
Effect of the NMDA receptor partial agonist, d-cycloserine, on emotional processing and autobiographical memory
(2020-04)Background: Studies suggest that d-cycloserine (DCS) may have antidepressant potential through its interaction with the glycine site of the N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR); however clinical evidence of DCS’s efficacy ... -
Functional biases in attentional templates from associative memory
(2020-12)In everyday life, attentional templates—which facilitate the perception of task-relevant sensory inputs—are often based on associations in long-term memory. We ask whether templates retrieved from memory are necessarily ... -
The Functional Consequences of Social Attention for Memory-guided Attention Orienting and Anticipatory Neural Dynamics
(2019-02)Social attention when viewing natural social (compared to non-social) images has functional consequences on contextual memory in healthy human adults. In addition to attention affecting memory performance, strong evidence ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
One thing leads to another: anticipating visual object identity based on associative-memory template
(2020-04)Probabilistic associations between stimuli afford memory templates that guide perception through pro-active anticipatory mechanisms. A great deal of work has examined the behavioural consequences and human electrophysiological ... -
Output planning at the input stage in visual working memory
(2021-03)Working memory serves as the buffer between past sensations and future behavior, making it vital to understand not only how we encode and retain sensory information in memory but also how we plan for its upcoming use. We ... -
The Oxford Cognitive Screen – Plus (OCS-Plus): A digital, tablet-based, brief cognitive assessment
(2020-10)Here, we present the Oxford Cognitive Screen-Plus, a computerised tablet-based screen designed to briefly assess domain-general cognition and provide more fine-grained measures of memory and executive function. The OCS-Plus ... -
The Oxford study of Calcium channel Antagonism, Cognition, Mood instability and Sleep (OxCaMS): study protocol for a randomised controlled, experimental medicine study
(2019-02)Background: The discovery that voltage-gated calcium channel genes such as CACNA1C are part of the aetiology of psychiatric disorders has rekindled interest in the therapeutic potential of L-type calcium channel (LTCC) ... -
Patient attitudes towards remote memory clinic assessment
(2021-12)Background: Due to demand on UK memory clinic services, most patients have limited consultant interaction before diagnosis/discharge. Technology offers an opportunity for remote assessment, from telephone/video-based ... -
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 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 ...
