A comparison of temperament in nonhuman apes and human infants.
(Dev Sci, 2011-11)
The adaptive behavior of primates, including humans, is often mediated by temperament.
Human behavior likely differs from that of other primates in part due to temperament.
In the current study we compared the reaction of ...
An experience-sampling study of depressive symptoms and their social context.
(J Nerv Ment Dis, 2011-06)
Both clinical and subclinical depression are associated with social impairment; however,
few studies have examined the impact of social contact in the daily lives of people
with depressive symptoms. The current study used ...
Rapid modulation of sensory processing induced by stimulus conflict.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2011-09)
Humans are constantly confronted with environmental stimuli that conflict with task
goals and can interfere with successful behavior. Prevailing theories propose the
existence of cognitive control mechanisms that can suppress ...
The role of stimulus salience and attentional capture across the neural hierarchy in a stop-signal task.
(PLoS One, 2011)
Inhibitory motor control is a core function of cognitive control. Evidence from diverse
experimental approaches has linked this function to a mostly right-lateralized network
of cortical and subcortical areas, wherein a ...
Reduced hippocampal and amygdala activity predicts memory distortions for trauma reminders in combat-related PTSD.
(J Psychiatr Res, 2011-05)
Neurobiological models of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suggest that altered
activity in the medial temporal lobes (MTL) during encoding of traumatic memories
contribute to the development and maintenance of the disorder. ...
Systematic mapping of the monkey inferior colliculus reveals enhanced low frequency sound representation.
(Journal of neurophysiology, 2011-04)
We investigated the functional architecture of the inferior colliculus (IC) in rhesus
monkeys. We systematically mapped multiunit responses to tonal stimuli and noise in
the IC and surrounding tissue of six rhesus macaques, ...
Functional neuroimaging of emotionally intense autobiographical memories in post-traumatic stress disorder.
(J Psychiatr Res, 2011-05)
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects regions that support autobiographical
memory (AM) retrieval, such as the hippocampus, amygdala and ventral medial prefrontal
cortex (PFC). However, it is not well understood ...
Neural correlates of emotional processing in depression: changes with cognitive behavioral therapy and predictors of treatment response.
(J Psychiatr Res, 2011-05)
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by the presence of disturbances in
emotional processing. However, the neural correlates of these alterations, and how
they may be affected by therapeutic interventions, remain ...
Sex, temperament, and family context: how the interaction of early factors differentially predict adolescent alcohol use and are mediated by proximal adolescent factors.
(Psychol Addict Behav, 2011-03)
Adolescent alcohol use is common and has serious immediate and long-term ramifications.
While concurrent individual and context factors are robustly associated with adolescent
alcohol use, the influence of early childhood ...
Autobiographical memory for stressful events: the role of autobiographical memory in posttraumatic stress disorder.
(Conscious Cogn, 2011-09)
To provide the three-way comparisons needed to test existing theories, we compared
(1) most-stressful memories to other memories and (2) involuntary to voluntary memories
(3) in 75 community dwelling adults with and 42 without ...
