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 ...
Unimodal and bimodal access to sensory working memories by auditory and visual impulses
(2019-11)
It is unclear to what extent sensory processing areas are involved in the maintenance of sensory information in working memory (WM). Previous studies have thus far relied on finding neural activity in the corresponding ...
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. ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Subjective cognitive complaints given in questionnaire: relationship with brain structure, cognitive performance and self-reported depressive symptoms in a 25-year retrospective cohort study
(2020-07)
Subjective cognitive complaints are common but it is unclear whether they indicate an underlying pathological process or reflect affective symptoms.
Method:800 community-dwelling older adults were drawn from the Whitehall ...
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 ...
Temporal Expectations Prepare Visual Working Memory for Behavior
(2020-09)
Working memory enables us to retain past sensations in service of anticipated task demands. How we prepare for anticipated task demands during working memory retention remains poorly understood. Here, we focused on the ...
