Age-related differences in the structural complexity of subcortical and ventricular structures (2016)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R., & Kensinger, E. A. (2017). Age-related differences in the structural complexity of subcortical and ventricular structures. Neurobiology of Aging, 50, 87-95. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2016.10.023

It has been well established that the volume of several subcortical structures decreases in relation to age. Different metrics of cortical structure (e.g., volume, thickness, surface area, and gyrification) have been shown to index distinct character...

Improved understanding of brain morphology through 3D printing: A brief guide (2016)
Journal Article
Madan, C. (2016). Improved understanding of brain morphology through 3D printing: A brief guide. Research Ideas and Outcomes, 2, https://doi.org/10.3897/rio.2.e10398

Background Brain morphology can provide insights into inter-individual differences. In the present guide, we outline the steps for generating a print-ready 3D model of brain structures from a standard T1-weighted structural MRI volume. By improvin...

The role of memory in distinguishing risky decisions from experience and description (2016)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R., Ludvig, E. A., & Spetch, M. L. (in press). The role of memory in distinguishing risky decisions from experience and description. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 70(10), https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2016.1220608

People’s risk preferences differ for choices based on described probabilities versus those based on information learned through experience. For decisions from description, people are typically more risk averse for gains than for losses. In contrast,...

ERPs differentially reflect automatic and deliberate processing of the functional manipulability of objects (2016)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R., Chen, Y. Y., & Singhal, A. (2016). ERPs differentially reflect automatic and deliberate processing of the functional manipulability of objects. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 10, Article 360. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2016.00360

It is known that the functional properties of an object can interact with perceptual, cognitive, and motor processes. Previously we have found that a between-subjects manipulation of judgment instructions resulted in different manipulability-related...

Multiple statistical tests: Lessons from a d20 (2016)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R. (2016). Multiple statistical tests: Lessons from a d20. F1000Research, 5, Article 1129. https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.8834.2

Statistical analyses are often conducted with α= .05. When multiple statistical tests are conducted, this procedure needs to be adjusted to compensate for the otherwise inflated Type I error. In some instances in tabletop gaming, sometimes it is desi... Read More about Multiple statistical tests: Lessons from a d20.

The effects of taboo-related distraction on driving performance (2016)
Journal Article
Chan, M., Madan, C. R., & Singhal, A. (2016). The effects of taboo-related distraction on driving performance. Acta Psychologica, 168, 20-26. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2016.03.010

Roadside billboards containing negative and positive emotional content have been shown to influence driving performance, however, the impact of highly arousing taboo information is unknown. Taboo information more reliably evokes emotional arousal and... Read More about The effects of taboo-related distraction on driving performance.

Cortical complexity as a measure of age-related brain atrophy (2016)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R., & Kensinger, E. A. (2016). Cortical complexity as a measure of age-related brain atrophy. NeuroImage, 134, 617-629. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2016.04.029

© 2016 Elsevier Inc. The structure of the human brain changes in a variety of ways as we age. While a sizeable literature has examined age-related differences in cortical thickness, and to a lesser degree, gyrification, here we examined differences i...

Amygdala subnuclei response and connectivity during emotional processing (2016)
Journal Article
Hrybouski, S., Aghamohammadi-Sereshki, A., Madan, C. R., Shafer, A. T., Baron, C. A., Seres, P., …Malykhin, N. V. (2016). Amygdala subnuclei response and connectivity during emotional processing. NeuroImage, 133, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2016.02.056

The involvement of the human amygdala in emotion-related processing has been studied using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for many years. However, despite the amygdala being comprised of several subnuclei, most studies investigated the... Read More about Amygdala subnuclei response and connectivity during emotional processing.
