Longitudinal associations among family environment, neural cognitive control, and social competence among adolescents
(Elsevier, 2017-05-16)
During adolescence, prefrontal cortex regions, important in cognitive control, undergo maturation to adapt to changing environmental demands. Ways through which social-ecological factors contribute to adolescent neural ...
A Little Goes a Long Way: Low Working Memory Load Is Associated with Optimal Distractor Inhibition and Increased Vagal Control under Anxiety
(Frontiers, 2017-02-03)
Anxiety impairs both inhibition of distraction and attentional focus. It is unclear whether these impairments are reduced or exacerbated when loading working memory with nonaffective information. Cardiac vagal control has ...
Alexithymia as a Transdiagnostic Precursor to Empathy Abnormalities: The Functional Role of the Insula
(Frontiers, 2017-12-21)
Distorted empathic processing has been observed across multiple psychiatric disorders. Simulation theory provides a theoretical framework that proposes a mechanism through which empathy difficulties may arise. Specifically, ...
Hallucinations and hemispatial neglect following right middle cerebral artery cerebrovascular accident: Left gaze bias with left sensory hemineglect syndrome
(2017-12-12)
Lesions within the right middle cerebral artery distribution commonly result in one or another variant of left hemineglect syndrome with sensory or attention deficits derived from damage within the posterior branches serving ...
Control and Effort Costs Influence the Motivational Consequences of Choice
(Frontiers, 2017-05-03)
The act of making a choice, apart from any outcomes the choice may yield, has, paradoxically, been linked to both the enhancement and the detriment of intrinsic motivation. Research has implicated two factors in potentially ...
Object Recognition in Mental Representations: Directions for Exploring Diagnostic Features through Visual Mental Imagery
(Frontiers, 2017-05-23)
One of the fundamental goals of object recognition research is to understand how a cognitive representation produced from the output of filtered and transformed sensory information facilitates efficient viewer behavior. ...
Health beliefs as a key determinant of intent to use anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) among high-school football players: implications for prevention
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-07-05)
The use of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) is problematic for youth because of negative effects such as reduced fertility, increased aggression and exposure to toxic chemicals. An effective programme for addressing this ...
The effect of anger expression style on cardiovascular responses to lateralized cognitive stressors.
(2017-12)
To determine the effects of self-reported anger expression style on cerebrally lateralized physiological responses to neuropsychological stressors, changes in systolic blood pressure and heart rate were examined in response ...
Love flows downstream: mothers’ and children’s neural representation similarity in perceiving distress of self and family
(Oxford University Press, 2017)
The current study aimed to capture empathy processing in an interpersonal context. Mother–adolescent dyads (N¼22) each completed an empathy task during fMRI, in which they imagined the target person in distressing scenes ...
Behavioral and neural concordance in parent-child dyadic sleep patterns
(Elsevier, 2017-06-15)
Sleep habits developed in adolescence shape long-term trajectories of psychological, educational, and physiological well-being. Adolescents’ sleep behaviors are shaped by their parents’ sleep at both the behavioral and ...
