Journal Article

© 2017 Veniero, Benwell, Ahrens and Thut. Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is being investigated as an experimental and clinical interventional technique in human participants. While promising, important limitations have been identified, inc... Read More about Inconsistent Effects of Parietal α-tACS on Pseudoneglect across Two Experiments: A Failed Internal Replication.

Journal Article

Objectives: Young people in the public care system (‘looked-after’ young people) have high levels of self-harm. Design: This paper reports the first detailed study of factors leading to self-harm over time in looked-after young people in England, usi...

A Diverse and Flexible Teaching Toolkit Facilitates the Human Capacity for Cumulative Culture (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017, The Author(s). Human culture is uniquely complex compared to other species. This complexity stems from the accumulation of culture over time through high- and low-fidelity transmission and innovation. One possible reason for why humans retain...

Does gratitude enhance prosociality: a meta-analytic review (2017)
Journal Article

Theoretical models suggest that gratitude is linked to increased prosociality. To date, however, there is a lack of a comprehensive quantitative synthesis of results to support this claim. In this review we aimed to 1) examine the overall strength of... Read More about Does gratitude enhance prosociality: a meta-analytic review.

Scopolamine impairs appetitive but not aversive trace conditioning: role of the medial prefrontal cortex (2017)
Journal Article

The muscarinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptor is an important modulator of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) functions, such as the working memory required to bridge a trace interval in associative leaning. Aversive and appetitive trace conditioning proc... Read More about Scopolamine impairs appetitive but not aversive trace conditioning: role of the medial prefrontal cortex.

Functional coping dynamics and experiential avoidance in a community sample with no self-injury vs. non-suicidal self-injury only vs. those with both non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behaviour (2017)
Journal Article

Although emotional avoidance may be a critical factor in the pathway from psychological distress to self-injury and/or suicidality, little is known about the relative importance of differing functional coping dynamics and experiential avoidance betwe... Read More about Functional coping dynamics and experiential avoidance in a community sample with no self-injury vs. non-suicidal self-injury only vs. those with both non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal behaviour.

An alternative surgical approach reduces variability following filament induction of experimental stroke in mice (2017)
Journal Article

Measuring nonlinear signal combination using EEG (2017)
Journal Article

Relatively little is known about the processes, both linear and nonlinear, by which signals are combined beyond V1. By presenting two stimulus components simultaneously, flickering at different temporal frequencies (frequency tagging) while measuring...

Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER (2017)
Journal Article

Functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS) has been used to assess the dynamic metabolic responses of the brain to a physiological stimulus non-invasively. However, only limited information on the dynamic functional response of γ-aminobutyric... Read More about Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER.

Seven- to 11-year-olds’ developing ability to recognize natural facial expressions of basic emotions (2017)
Journal Article

Being able to recognize facial expressions of basic emotions is of great importance to social development. However, we still know surprisingly little about children’s developing ability to interpret emotions that are expressed dynamically, naturally... Read More about Seven- to 11-year-olds’ developing ability to recognize natural facial expressions of basic emotions.

Safety culture: the Nottingham Veterinary Safety Culture Survey (NVSCS) (2017)
Journal Article

Safety culture is a vital concept in human healthcare because of its influence on staff behaviours in relation to patient safety. Understanding safety culture is essential to ensure the acceptance and sustainability of changes, such as the introducti...

Criteria for conceptualizing behavioral addiction should be informed by the underlying behavioral mechanism (2017)
Journal Article

The criteria used to determine a behavioral addiction should be based on an understanding of the underlying psychological mechanisms. This should include an analysis of whether the behavior itself has psychological features that might externally dete...

Cognitive deficits caused by prefrontal cortical and hippocampal neural disinhibition (2017)
Journal Article

We review recent evidence concerning the significance of inhibitory GABA transmission and of neural disinhibition, i.e. deficient GABA transmission, within prefrontal cortex and hippocampus for clinically relevant cognitive functions. Both regions su... Read More about Cognitive deficits caused by prefrontal cortical and hippocampal neural disinhibition.

Emotional arousal impairs association-memory: Roles of amygdala and hippocampus (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier Inc. Emotional arousal is well-known to enhance memory for individual items or events, whereas it can impair association memory. The neural mechanism of this association memory impairment by emotion is not known: In response to emotio...

The effect of visual, spatial and temporal manipulations on embodiment and action (2017)
Journal Article

The feeling of owning and controlling the body relies on the integration and interpretation of sensory input from multiple sources with respect to existing representations of the bodily self. Illusion paradigms involving multisensory manipulations ha... Read More about The effect of visual, spatial and temporal manipulations on embodiment and action.

A Normalization Mechanism for Estimating Visual Motion across Speeds and Scales (2017)
Journal Article

Interacting with the natural environment leads to complex stimulations of our senses. Here we focus on the estimation of visual speed, a critical source of information for the survival of many animal species as they monitor moving prey or approaching...

Encoding of rapid time-varying information is impaired in poor readers (2017)
Journal Article

A characteristic set of eye movements and fixations are made during reading, so the position of words on the retinae is constantly being updated. Effective decoding of print requires this temporal stream of visual information to be segmented or parse... Read More about Encoding of rapid time-varying information is impaired in poor readers.

How do personality and social structures interact with each other to predict important life outcomes?: the importance of accounting for personality change (2017)
Journal Article

Personality is important for a range of life outcomes. However, despite evidence that personality changes across time, there is a concerning tendency for researchers outside of personality psychology to treat measures of personality as if they are no...

Body representation difficulties in children and adolescents with autism may be due to delayed development of visuo-tactile temporal binding (2017)
Journal Article

Recent research suggests visuo-tactile binding is temporally extended in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), although it is not clear whether this specifically underlies altered body representation in this population. In the current study children and a... Read More about Body representation difficulties in children and adolescents with autism may be due to delayed development of visuo-tactile temporal binding.
