OBJECTIVES: Pain is the prevailing symptom of knee osteoarthritis. Central sensitisation creates discordance between pain and joint pathology. We previously reported a central pain mechanisms trait derived from 8 discrete characteristics: neuropathic...

Functional changes in the aging human brain have been previously reported using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Earlier resting-state fMRI studies revealed an age-associated weakening of intra-system functional connectivity (FC) and age...

Emotional arousal impairs association memory: roles of prefrontal cortex regions (2021)
Journal Article
Fujiwara, E., Madan, C., Caplan, J., & Sommer, T. (2021). Emotional arousal impairs association memory: roles of prefrontal cortex regions. Learning and Memory, 28(3), 76-81. https://doi.org/10.1101/lm.052480.120

The brain processes underlying impairing effects of emotional arousal on associative memory were previously attributed to two dissociable routes using high-resolution fMRI of the MTL (Madan et al. 2017). Extrahippocampal MTL regions supporting associ... Read More about Emotional arousal impairs association memory: roles of prefrontal cortex regions.

Measuring adolescents’ beliefs in conspiracy theories: Development and validation of the Adolescent Conspiracy Beliefs Questionnaire (ACBQ). British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 39(3), 499-520. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjdp.12368

Four studies (total n=961) developed and validated the Adolescent Conspiracy Beliefs Questionnaire (ACBQ). Initial items were developed in collaboration with teachers. An exploratory factor analysis (Study 1, n=208, aged 11–14) and a student focus gr...

Coordinated prefrontal state transition leads extinction of reward-seeking behaviors (2021)
Journal Article
Russo, E., Ma, T., Spanagel, R., Durstewitz, D., Toutounji, H., & Köhr, G. (2021). Coordinated prefrontal state transition leads extinction of reward-seeking behaviors. Journal of Neuroscience, 41(11), 2406-2419. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.2588-20.2021

Extinction learning suppresses conditioned reward responses and is thus fundamental to adapt to changing environmental demands and to control excessive reward seeking. The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) monitors and controls conditioned reward respo... Read More about Coordinated prefrontal state transition leads extinction of reward-seeking behaviors.

Learning to silence saccadic suppression (2021)
Journal Article
Scholes, C., McGraw, P. V., & Roach, N. W. (2021). Learning to silence saccadic suppression. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 118(6), Article e2012937118. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2012937118

Perceptual stability is facilitated by a decrease in visual sensitivity during rapid eye movements, called saccadic suppression. While a large body of evidence demonstrates that saccadic programming is plastic, little is known about whether the perce... Read More about Learning to silence saccadic suppression.
