A Neural Basis for Contagious Yawning (2017)
Journal Article
Brown, B. J., Kim, S., Saunders, H., Bachmann, C., Thompson, J., Ropar, D., …Jackson, G. M. (2017). A Neural Basis for Contagious Yawning. Current Biology, 27(17), 2713-2717.e2. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2017.07.062

Contagious yawning, in which yawning is triggered involuntarily when we observe another person yawn, is a common form of echophenomena—the automatic imitation of another’s words (echolalia) or actions (echopraxia) [1]. The neural basis for echophenom... Read More about A Neural Basis for Contagious Yawning.

Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER (2017)
Journal Article
Chen, C., Sigurdsson, H. P., Pépés, S. E., Auer, D. P., Morris, P. G., Morgan, P. S., …Jackson, S. R. (2017). Activation induced changes in GABA: functional MRS at 7 T with MEGA-sLASER. NeuroImage, 156, 207-213. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.05.044

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.

Optic ataxia and the dorsal visual steam re-visited: impairment in bimanual haptic matching performed without vision (2017)
Journal Article
Jackson, S. R., Condon, L., Newport, R., Pears, S., Husain, M., Bajaj, N., & O'Donoghue, M. O. (in press). Optic ataxia and the dorsal visual steam re-visited: impairment in bimanual haptic matching performed without vision. Cortex, 98, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2017.03.023

The ‘two visual systems’ account proposed by Milner and Goodale (1992) argued that visual perception and the visual control of action depend upon functionally distinct and anatomically separable brain systems: a ventral stream of visual processing th...

Comparing GABA-­dependent physiological measures of inhibition with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurement of GABA using ultra-­high-­field MRI (2017)
Journal Article
Dyke, K., Pépés, S. E., Chen, C., Kim, S., Sigurdsson, H. P., Draper, A., …Jackson, S. R. (2017). Comparing GABA-­dependent physiological measures of inhibition with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurement of GABA using ultra-­high-­field MRI. NeuroImage, 152, 360-370. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.03.011

Imbalances in glutamatergic (excitatory) and GABA (inhibitory) signalling within key brain networks are thought to underlie many brain and mental health disorders, and for this reason there is considerable interest in investigating how individual var...
