Journal Article
Han, K.-M., Choi, S., Jung, J., Na, K.-S., Yoon, H.-K., Lee, M.-S., & Ham, B.-J. (2014). Cortical thickness, cortical and subcortical volume, and white matter integrity in patients with their first episode of major depression. Journal of Affective Disorders, 155, 42-48. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2013.10.021

Background

The uncertainty over the true morphological changes in brains with major depressive disorder (MDD) underlines the necessity of comprehensive studies with multimodal structural brain imaging analyses. This study aimed to evaluate the dif... Read More about Cortical thickness, cortical and subcortical volume, and white matter integrity in patients with their first episode of major depression.

L., Büchel, C., Carvalho, F. M., Conrod, P. J., Fauth-Buehler, M., Flor, H., Gallinat, J., …Schumann, G. (2014). Oxytocin Receptor Genotype Modulates Ventral Striatal Activity to Social Cues and Response to Stressful Life Events. Biological Psychiatry, 76(5), 367-376. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsych.2013.07.043

Background Common variants in the oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) have been shown to influence social and affective behavior and to moderate the effect of adverse experiences on risk for social-affective problems. However, the intermediate neurobiologi... Read More about Oxytocin Receptor Genotype Modulates Ventral Striatal Activity to Social Cues and Response to Stressful Life Events.

Learning on the IGT follows emergence of knowledge but not differential somatic activity (2013)
Journal Article
Fernie, G., & Tunney, R. J. (2013). Learning on the IGT follows emergence of knowledge but not differential somatic activity. Frontiers in Psychology, 4(687), https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00687

The importance of unconscious autonomic activity vs. knowledge in influencing behavior on the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) has been the subject of debate. The task's developers, Bechara and colleagues, have claimed that behavior on the IGT is influenced...

Risk Prediction Error Coding in Orbitofrontal Neurons (2013)
Journal Article
O'Neill, M., & Schultz, W. (2013). Risk Prediction Error Coding in Orbitofrontal Neurons. Journal of Neuroscience, 33(40), 15810-15814. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.4236-12.2013

Risk is a ubiquitous feature of life. It plays an important role in economic decisions by affecting subjective reward value. Informed decisions require accurate risk information for each choice option. However, risk is often not constant but changes... Read More about Risk Prediction Error Coding in Orbitofrontal Neurons.

Is the masked priming same-different task a pure measure of prelexical processing? (2013)
Journal Article
Kelly, A. N., van Heuven, W. J., Pitchford, N. J., & Ledgeway, T. (2013). Is the masked priming same-different task a pure measure of prelexical processing?. PLoS ONE, 8(9), Article e72888. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0072888

To study prelexical processes involved in visual word recognition a task is needed that only operates at the level of abstract letter identities. The masked priming same-different task has been purported to do this, as the same pattern of priming is...

Event-related fMRI at 7T reveals overlapping cortical representations for adjacent fingertips in S1 of individual subjects (2013)
Journal Article
Besle, J., Sánchez-Panchuelo, R.-M., Bowtell, R., Francis, S., & Schluppeck, D. (2014). Event-related fMRI at 7T reveals overlapping cortical representations for adjacent fingertips in S1 of individual subjects. Human Brain Mapping, 35(5), 2027-2043. https://doi.org/10.1002/hbm.22310

Recent fMRI studies of the human primary somatosensory cortex have been able to differentiate the cortical representations of different fingertips at a single-subject level. These studies did not, however, investigate the expected overlap in cortical...

Extraversion differentiates between model-based and model-free strategies in a reinforcement learning task (2013)
Journal Article
Skatova, A., Chan, P. A., & Daw, N. (2013). Extraversion differentiates between model-based and model-free strategies in a reinforcement learning task. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 7, Article 525. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2013.00525

Prominent computational models describe a neural mechanism for learning from reward prediction errors, and it has been suggested that variations in this mechanism are reflected in personality factors such as trait extraversion. However, although trai... Read More about Extraversion differentiates between model-based and model-free strategies in a reinforcement learning task.

Adaptation to implied tilt: extensive spatial extrapolation of orientation gradients (2013)
Journal Article
Roach, N. W., & Webb, B. S. (2013). Adaptation to implied tilt: extensive spatial extrapolation of orientation gradients. Frontiers in Psychology, 4(July), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00438

To extract the global structure of an image, the visual system must integrate local orientation estimates across space. Progress is being made toward understanding this integration process, but very little is known about whether the presence of struc...

Background Depression and anxiety are major causes of absence from work and underperformance in the workplace. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can be effective in treating such problems and online versions offer many practical advantages. The aim...
