The dynamics of proactive and reactive cognitive control processes in the human brain.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2014-05)
In this study, we leveraged the high temporal resolution of EEG to examine the neural
mechanisms underlying the flexible regulation of cognitive control that unfolds over
different timescales. We measured behavioral and ...
Transitional probability-based model for HPV clearance in HIV-1-positive adolescent females.
(PLoS One, 2012)
BACKGROUND: HIV-1-positive patients clear the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection
less frequently than HIV-1-negative. Datasets for estimating HPV clearance probability
often have irregular measurements of HPV status and ...
Validation and Identification of Invasive Salmonella Serotypes in Sub-Saharan Africa by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction.
(Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) cause the majority
of bloodstream infections in sub-Saharan Africa; however, serotyping is rarely performed.
We validated a multiplex polymerase chain reaction ...
Action video game playing is associated with improved visual sensitivity, but not alterations in visual sensory memory.
(Atten Percept Psychophys, 2013-08)
Action video game playing has been experimentally linked to a number of perceptual
and cognitive improvements. These benefits are captured through a wide range of psychometric
tasks and have led to the proposition that action ...
Rickettsia rickettsii transmission by a lone star tick, North Carolina.
(Emerg Infect Dis, 2011-05)
Only indirect or circumstantial evidence has been published to support transmission
of Rickettsia rickettsii by Amblyomma americanum (lone star) ticks in North America.
This study provides molecular evidence that A. americanum ...
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 ...
Brain activity during episodic retrieval of autobiographical and laboratory events: an fMRI study using a novel photo paradigm.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2004-11)
Functional neuroimaging studies of episodic memory retrieval generally measure brain
activity while participants remember items encountered in the laboratory ("controlled
laboratory condition") or events from their own life ...
Co-activation of the amygdala, hippocampus and inferior frontal gyrus during autobiographical memory retrieval.
(Neuropsychologia, 2005)
Functional MRI was used to investigate the role of medial temporal lobe and inferior
frontal lobe regions in autobiographical recall. Prior to scanning, participants generated
cue words for 50 autobiographical memories and ...
Prevalence of mycobacteremia among HIV-infected infants and children in northern Tanzania.
(Pediatr Infect Dis J, 2013-07)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a common cause of bloodstream infections among HIV-infected
adults in sub-Saharan Africa, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality.
We found no cases of mycobacteremia among 93 ill, ...
Genome-wide analyses of exonic copy number variants in a family-based study point to novel autism susceptibility genes.
(PLoS Genet, 2009-06)
The genetics underlying the autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is complex and remains
poorly understood. Previous work has demonstrated an important role for structural
variation in a subset of cases, but has lacked the resolution ...
