Beyond body image: what body schema and motor imagery can tell us about the way patients with anorexia nervosa experience their body (2022)
Journal Article
Meregalli, V., Tenconi, E., Madan, C. R., Somà, E., Meneguzzo, P., Ceccato, E., …Collantoni, E. (2023). Beyond body image: what body schema and motor imagery can tell us about the way patients with anorexia nervosa experience their body. Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 77(2), 94-101. https://doi.org/10.1111/pcn.13501

Aim Recent evidence suggests that the body image disturbance often observed in patients with anorexia nervosa also extends to the body schema. According to the embodiment approach, the body schema is not only involved in motor execution, but also in...

Risky choice and memory for effort: Hard work stands out (2022)
Journal Article
Mason, A., Madan, C. R., Freas, C. A., Simonsen, N., Ludvig, E. A., & Spetch, M. L. (2022). Risky choice and memory for effort: Hard work stands out. Decision, 10(1), 92-106. https://doi.org/10.1037/dec0000197

When deciding between different courses of action, both the potential outcomes and the costs of making a choice should be considered. These costs include the cognitive and physical effort of the different options. In many decision contexts, the outco... Read More about Risky choice and memory for effort: Hard work stands out.

We created a set of resources to enable research based on openly-available diffusion MRI (dMRI) data from the Healthy Brain Network (HBN) study. First, we curated the HBN dMRI data (N = 2747) into the Brain Imaging Data Structure and preprocessed it...

Biased confabulation in risky choice (2022)
Journal Article
Mason, A., Madan, C. R., Simonsen, N., Spetch, M. L., & Ludvig, E. A. (2022). Biased confabulation in risky choice. Cognition, 229, Article 105245. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2022.105245

When people make risky decisions based on past experience, they must rely on memory. The nature of the memory representations that support these decisions is not yet well understood. A key question concerns the extent to which people recall specific... Read More about Biased confabulation in risky choice.

Memory rehabilitation: restorative, specific knowledge acquisition, compensatory, and holistic approaches (2022)
Journal Article
Gopi, Y., Wilding, E., & Madan, C. R. (2022). Memory rehabilitation: restorative, specific knowledge acquisition, compensatory, and holistic approaches. Cognitive Processing, 23, 537-557. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10339-022-01099-w

Memory impairment following an acquired brain injury can negatively impact daily living and quality of life—but can be reduced by memory rehabilitation. Here, we review the literature on four approaches for memory rehabilitation and their associated...

Neuroanatomical Foundations of Delayed Reward Discounting Decision Making II: Evaluation of Sulcal Morphology and Fractal Dimensionality. NeuroImage, 257, Article 119309. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2022.119309

Delayed reward discounting (DRD) is a form of decision-making reflecting valuation of smaller immediate rewards versus larger delayed rewards, and high DRD has been linked to several health behaviors, including substance use disorders, attention-defi...

Negative Emotion Enhances Memory for the Sequential Unfolding of a Naturalistic Experience (2022)
Journal Article
Dev, D. K., Wardell, V., Checknita, K. J., Te, A. A., Petrucci, A. S., Le, M. L., …Palombo, D. J. (2022). Negative Emotion Enhances Memory for the Sequential Unfolding of a Naturalistic Experience. Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, 11(4), 510-521. https://doi.org/10.1037/mac0000015

The events of our lives unfold over time. When remembering these events, we often reference information about when they occurred and their sequential unfolding. How does negative emotion affect our ability to reconstruct the elements of an event in t...

Young Adults with a Parent with Dementia Show Early Abnormalities in Brain Activity and Brain Volume in the Hippocampus: A Matched Case-Control Study (2022)
Journal Article
McDonough, I. M., Mayhugh, C., Moore, M. K., Brasfield, M. B., Letang, S. K., Madan, C. R., & Allen, R. S. (2022).

Having a parent with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias confers a risk for developing these types of neurocognitive disorders in old age, but the mechanisms underlying this risk are understudied. Although the hippocampus is often one of t...

European Journal of Neuroscience, 55(6), 1547-1583. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.15631

Fractal geometry has recently been proposed as a useful tool for characterizing the complexity of the brain cortex, which is likely to derive from the recurrence of sulci–gyri convolution patterns. The index used to describe the cortical complexity i...
