Dietary deficiencies in folic acid result in elevated levels of plasma homocysteine, which has been associated with the development of dementia and other neurodegenerative disorders. Previously, we have shown that elevated levels of plasma homocystei...

Independent theta phase coding accounts for CA1 population sequences and enables flexible remapping (2015)
Journal Article
Chadwick, A., van Rossum, M. C., & Nolan, M. F. (2015). Independent theta phase coding accounts for CA1 population sequences and enables flexible remapping. eLife, 4, Article e03542. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.03542

Hippocampal place cells encode an animal's past, current, and future location through sequences of action potentials generated within each cycle of the network theta rhythm. These sequential representations have been suggested to result from temporal... Read More about Independent theta phase coding accounts for CA1 population sequences and enables flexible remapping.

Background
The temporal and situational stability of personality has led generations of researchers to hypothesize that personality may have enduring effects on health, but the biological mechanisms of such relationships remain poorly understood. In... Read More about Personality and gene expression: do individual differences exist in the leukocyte transcriptome?.

Airborne LiDAR for the detection of archaeological vegetation marks using biomass as a proxy (2015)
Journal Article
Stott, D., Boyd, D. S., Beck, A., & Cohn, A. (2015). Airborne LiDAR for the detection of archaeological vegetation marks using biomass as a proxy. Remote Sensing, 7(2), https://doi.org/10.3390/rs70201594

In arable landscapes, the airborne detection of archaeological features is often reliant on using the properties of the vegetation cover as a proxy for sub-surface features in the soil. Under the right conditions, the formation of vegetation marks al... Read More about Airborne LiDAR for the detection of archaeological vegetation marks using biomass as a proxy.

Safe spaces, support, social capital: a critical analysis of artists working with vulnerable young people in educational contexts (2015)
Journal Article

This article provides a critical and thematic analysis of three research projects involving artists working with vulnerable young people in educational contexts. It argues that artists create safe spaces in contrast to traditional educational activit...

Making 'better stem' happen: the role of the MaSciL project (2015)
Journal Article
Newton, L., & Sorensen, P. (2015). Making 'better stem' happen: the role of the MaSciL project. Journal of Science Teacher Education, 72,

‘Too often in secondary schools, science has seemed to students, parents and teachers to be quite separate from the rest of the curriculum and from the realities of everyday life; it has often seemed remote, clinical and inaccessible. The unique and... Read More about Making 'better stem' happen: the role of the MaSciL project.

We propose methods for constructing confidence sets for the timing of a break in level and/or trend that have asymptotically correct coverage for both I(0) and I(1) processes. These are based on inverting a sequence of tests for the break location, e... Read More about Confidence sets for the date of a break in level and trend when the order of integration is unknown.

The effects of delayed auditory and visual feedback on speech production (2015)
Journal Article
Chesters, J., Baghai-Ravary, L., & Möttönen, R. (in press). The effects of delayed auditory and visual feedback on speech production. Nature Energy, 137(2), https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4906266

Monitoring the sensory consequences of articulatory movements supports speaking. For example, delaying auditory feedback of a speaker's voice disrupts speech production. Also, there is evidence that this disruption may be decreased by immediate visua... Read More about The effects of delayed auditory and visual feedback on speech production.

Journal Article
Cassaday, H. J., & Thur, K. E. (2015). Intraperitoneal sertraline and fluvoxamine increase contextual fear conditioning but are without effect on overshadowing between cues. Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 129, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbb.2014.12.004

Treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can reduce contextual conditioning. Since contexts present a variety of potentially competing cues, impaired overshadowing may provide an account of such effects. The present study theref...
