Top-down control of visual cortex by the frontal eye fields through oscillatory realignment (2021)
Journal Article
Veniero, D., Gross, J., Morand, S., Duecker, F., Sack, A. T., & Thut, G. (2021). Top-down control of visual cortex by the frontal eye fields through oscillatory realignment. Nature Communications, 12(1), Article 1757. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-21979-7

Voluntary allocation of visual attention is controlled by top-down signals generated within the Frontal Eye Fields (FEFs) that can change the excitability of lower-level visual areas. However, the mechanism through which this control is achieved rema... Read More about Top-down control of visual cortex by the frontal eye fields through oscillatory realignment.

Enhancing vs. inhibiting semantic performance with transcranial magnetic stimulation over the anterior temporal lobe: frequency- and task-specific effects (2021)
Journal Article

Accumulating, converging evidence indicates that the anterior temporal lobe (ATL) appears to be the transmodal hub for semantic representation. A series of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) investigations utilizing the ‘virtual lesi...

Home assessment of visual working memory in pre‐schoolers reveals associations between behaviour, brain activation and parent reports of life stress (2021)
Journal Article
McKay, C., Shing, Y. L., Rafetseder, E., & Wijeakumar, S. (2021). Home assessment of visual working memory in pre‐schoolers reveals associations between behaviour, brain activation and parent reports of life stress. Developmental Science, 24(4), Article e13094. https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.13094

Visual working memory (VWM) is reliably predictive of fluid intelligence and academic achievements. The objective of the current study was to investigate individual differences in pre-schoolers’ VWM processing by examining the association between beh...

Science of Learning Strategy Series: Article 2, Retrieval Practice (2021)
Journal Article
Van Hoof, T. J., Sumeracki, M. A., & Madan, C. R. (2021). Science of Learning Strategy Series: Article 2, Retrieval Practice. Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions, 41(2), 119-123. https://doi.org/10.1097/CEH.0000000000000335

Retrieval practice is an evidence-based, science of learning strategy that is relevant to the planning and implementation of continuing professional development (CPD). Retrieval practice requires one to examine long-term memory in order to work with... Read More about Science of Learning Strategy Series: Article 2, Retrieval Practice.

The Left Angular Gyrus Is Causally Involved in Context-dependent Integration and Associative Encoding during Narrative Reading (2021)
Journal Article
Branzi, F. M., Pobric, G., Jung, J., & Lambon Ralph, M. A. (2021). The Left Angular Gyrus Is Causally Involved in Context-dependent Integration and Associative Encoding during Narrative Reading. Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 33(6), 1082-1095. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn_a_01698

The role of the left angular gyrus (AG) in language processing remains unclear. In this study, we used TMS to test the hypothesis that the left AG causally supports the processes necessary for context-dependent integration and encoding of information...

Is autonomic function during resting-state atypical in Autism: A systematic review of evidence (2021)
Journal Article
Arora, I., Bellato, A., Ropar, D., Hollis, C., & Groom, M. (2021). Is autonomic function during resting-state atypical in Autism: A systematic review of evidence. Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 125, 417-441. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2021.02.041

Background: Theories of differences in resting-state arousal in autistic individuals are influential. Differences in arousal during resting-state would impact engagement and adaptation to the environment, having a cascading effect on development of a...
