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 ... -
Investigating Different Levels of Bimanual Interaction With a Novel Motor Learning Task: A Behavioural and Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation Study
(2021-11)In everyday life, we perform countless movements with our hands. Some, such as writing, drawing, or eating with chopsticks, require one hand alone, whereas others require the skilled interaction of both hands. For bimanual ... -
Learning to optimize perceptual decisions through suppressive interactions in the human brain
(2019-01)Translating noisy sensory signals to perceptual decisions is critical for successful interactions in complex environments. Learning is known to improve perceptual judgments by filtering external noise and task-irrelevant ... -
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. ... -
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 psychopathology of NMDAR-antibody encephalitis in adults: a systematic review and phenotypic analysis of individual patient data
(2019-03)Early immunotherapy administration improves outcomes in patients with N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-antibody encephalitis. As most patients with NMDAR-antibody encephalitis present to psychiatrists, the psychopathology ... -
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 ... -
Shielding working-memory representations from temporally predictable external interference
(2021-05)Protecting working-memory content from distracting external sensory inputs and intervening tasks is a ubiquitous demand in daily life. Here, we ask whether and how temporal expectations about external events can help ... -
Sleep duration over 28 years, cognition, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure: a prospective cohort study
(2020-01)Study Objectives To examine the association between sleep duration trajectories over 28 years and measures of cognition, gray matter volume, and white matter microstructure. We hypothesize that consistently meeting sleep ... -
A Structural Brain Network of Genetic Vulnerability to Psychiatric Illness
(2020-05)Psychiatry is undergoing a paradigm shift from the acceptance of distinct diagnoses to a representation of psychiatric illness that crosses diagnostic boundaries. How this transition is supported by a shared neurobiology ... -
The tempos of Performance
(2019-06)Human performance fluctuates over time. Rather than random, the complex time course of variation reflects, among other factors, influences from regular periodic processes operating at multiple time scales. In this review, ... -
Toward a neurobiology of internal selective attention
(2021-07)A recent study in non-human primates (NHPs) by Panichello and Buschman brings the investigation of selective attention within visual working memory to the systems and cellular neuroscience levels. We reflect on this ... -
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 ... -
Visual fixation patterns during economic choice reflect covert valuation processes that emerge with learning
(2019-10)Visual fixations play a vital role in decision making. Recent studies have demonstrated that the longer subjects fixate an option, the more likely they are to choose it. However, the role of evaluating stimuli covertly ... -
When Helping is Risky: Behavioral and Neurobiological Mechanisms of Prosocial Decisions Entailing Risk.
(2020-03)Helping others can entail risks. Doctors that treat infectious patients may risk their own health, intervening in a fight can lead to injury, and organ donations can lead to medical complications. When helping others comes ... -
When Natural Behavior Engages Working Memory
(2020-12)Working memory (WM) enables temporary storage and manipulation of information,1 supporting tasks that require bridging between perception and subsequent behavior. Its properties, such as its capacity, have been thoroughly ... -
Whole-brain white matter organization, intelligence, and educational attainment
(2019-03)General cognitive ability, sometimes referred to as intelligence, is associated with educational attainment throughout childhood. Most studies that have explored the neural correlates of intelligence in childhood focus ...
