A framework synthesis reviewing the impact of neonatal care unit admission on early caregiver–infant relationships
(2020-10)Aims To critically review and synthesize qualitative research pertaining to the establishment of early caregiver–infant relationships in the neonatal care unit (NCU). Background It is well‐established that bonding and ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Genetics of self-reported risk-taking behaviour, trans-ethnic consistency and relevance to brain gene expression
(2018)Risk-taking behaviour is an important component of several psychiatric disorders, including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Previously, two genetic loci have been associated ... -
Hierarchical modelling of functional brain networks in population and individuals from big fMRI data
(2021-02)A major goal of large-scale brain imaging datasets is to provide resources for investigating heterogeneous populations. Characterisation of functional brain networks for individual subjects from these datasets will have an ... -
The importance of different frailty domains in a population based sample in England
(2020-01)Background The aim was to estimate the prevalence of frailty and relative contribution of physical/balance, nutritive, cognitive and sensory frailty to important adverse health states (falls, physical activity levels, ... -
Improving the quality and content of midwives’ discussions with low-risk women about their options for place of birth: Co-production and evaluation of an intervention package
(2018-01)Objective: Women's planned place of birth is gaining increasing importance in the UK, however evidence suggests that there is variation in the content of community midwives’ discussions with low risk women about their ... -
Individual variation in brain microstructural-cognition relationships in aging
(2021-02)While all individuals are susceptible to age-related cognitive decline, significant inter- and intra-individual variability exists. However, the sources of this variation remain poorly understood. Here, we examined the ... -
Introducing the tablet-based Oxford Cognitive Screen-Plus (OCS-Plus) as an assessment tool for subtle cognitive impairments
(2021-04)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 ... -
Long read sequencing reveals novel isoforms and insights into splicing regulation during cell state changes
(2021-04)Alternative splicing (AS) is a key mechanism underlying cellular differentiation and a driver of complexity in mammalian neuronal tissues. However, understanding of which isoforms are differentially used or expressed and ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Multimodal brain-age prediction and cardiovascular risk: The Whitehall II MRI sub-study
(2020-01)Brain age is becoming a widely applied imaging-based biomarker of neural aging and potential proxy for brain integrity and health. We estimated multimodal and modality-specific brain age in the Whitehall II MRI cohort using ... -
The neural correlates of inhibitory control in 10-month-old infants: a functional nearinfrared spectroscopy study
(2021-04)Inhibitory control, a core executive function, emerges in infancy and develops rapidly across childhood. Methodological limitations have meant that studies investigating the neural correlates underlying inhibitory control ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
A Parenting Programme for Muslims
(2018-03)Universal parenting intervention courses often fail to recruit and retain Muslim families. The practice of targeting specific populations in parenting programs is not well established. Parents from minority backgrounds are ... -
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 ... -
Prediction of brain age and cognitive age: quantifying brain and cognitive maintenance in aging
(2020-06)The concept of brain maintenance refers to the preservation of brain integrity in older age, whilecognitive reserverefers to the capacity to maintain cognition in the presence of neurodegeneration or aging-related brain ...
