Behavioural and neurophysiological signatures in the retrieval of individual memories of recent and remote real-life routine episodic events
Autobiographical memory (AM) has been largely investigated as the ability to recollect specific events that belong to an individual's past. However, how we retrieve real-life routine episodes and how the retrieval of these ...
Conflict Mediation, Emotional Regulation and Coping Strategies in the Educational Field
Teachers who present high emotional skills and knowledge of strategies to mediate the conflicts generated in the classroom, are able to exercise a better management of both the teaching tasks that correspond to them and ...
Reservoir computing in simulated neuronal cultures: Effectof network structure
Biological neurons are emerging as attractive candidates for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications given their natural energy efficiency and self-repair capacity. However, they differ from their idealized ...
The Specificity of Observational Studies in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences: Moving Forward in Mixed Methods Research and Proposals for Achieving Quantitative and Qualitative Symmetry
Mixed methods studies are been increasingly applied to a diversity of fields. In this paper, we discuss the growing use-and enormous potential-of mixed methods research in the field of sport and physical activity. A second ...
Hyaluronic acid-based bioink improves the differentiation and network formation of neural progenitor cells
Introduction: Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a promising technique for the development of neuronal in vitro models because it controls the deposition of materials and cells. Finding a biomaterial that supports neural ...
Using fMRI to assess brain activity in people with Down Syndrome: A systematic review
Background: In the last few years, many investigations have focused on brain activity in general and in populations with different pathologies using non-invasive techniques such as electroencefalography (EEG), positron ...
Inflammatory agents partially explain associations between cortical thickness, surface area, and body mass in adolescents and young adulthood
Background/objectives Excessive body mass index (BMI) has been linked to a low-grade chronic inflammation state. Unhealthy BMI has also been related to neuroanatomical changes in adults. Research in adolescents is relatively ...
State-dependent skin temperature increase during manic episodes of bipolar disorder
Skin temperature changes during mood episodes and can be continuously monitored through wearable devices, potentially serving as a digital biomarker. We aimed to describe differences in skin temperature among bipolar ...
Ciberacoso y ansiedad social en adolescentes: una revisión sistemática
El ciberbullying ha suscitado el interés de los investigadores en el campo de la psicología. Una de las variables que se ha estudiado en los últimos años en relación con el ciberbullying es la ansiedad social. Sin embargo, ...
Neural encoding of voice pitch and formant structure at birth as revealed by frequency-following responses
Detailed neural encoding of voice pitch and formant structure plays a crucial role in speech perception, and is of key importance for an appropriate acquisition of the phonetic repertoire in infants since birth. However, ...
Mismach between perceived family and individual chronotype and their association with sleep-wake patterns
While social zeitgebers are known to shape diurnal preference, little research has been devoted to determining the contribution of the familiar group chronotype as social zeitgeber on individual circadian rhythms and ...
Metabolic polygenic risk scores effect on antipsychotic-induced metabolic dysregulation: A longitudinal study in a first episode psychosis cohort
Objective: Metabolic syndrome is a health-threatening condition suffered by approximately one third of schizophrenia patients and largely attributed to antipsychotic medication. Previous evidence reports a common genetic ...
Neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular trap components: emerging biomarkers and therapeutic targets for age-related eye diseases
Age-related eye diseases, including dry eye, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, represent a major global health issue based on their increasing prevalence and disabling action. Unraveling ...
Effects and Mechanisms of Cognitive, Aerobic Exercise, and Combined Training on Cognition, Health, and Brain Outcomes in Physically Inactive Older Adults: The Projecte Moviment Protocol
Introduction: Age-related health, brain, and cognitive impairment is a great challenge in current society. Cognitive training, aerobic exercise and their combination have been shown to benefit health, brain, cognition and ...
Anionic Phospholipids Bind to and Modulate the Activity of Human TRESK Background K+ Channel
The background K+ channel TRESK regulates sensory neuron excitability and changes in its function/expression contribute to neuronal hyperexcitability after injury/inflammation, making it an attractive therapeutic target ...
Atypical depression and emotion dysregulation: Clinical and psychopathological features
Background: Most atypical depression (AD) cases endorse prominent mood reactivity, anxiety, and interpersonal sensitivity, resembling some of the characteristics of emotional dysregulation (ED). The present study assesses ...
Differential astrocyte and oligodendrocyte vulnerability in murine Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Glial vulnerability to prions is assessed in murine Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) using the tg340 mouse line expressing four-fold human PrP M129 levels on a mouse PrP null background at different days following intracerebral ...
Opening the Pandora box: Neural processing of self-relevant negative social information
Curiosity is a powerful motivator of information-seeking behavior. People seek not only positive, but also aversive social information about others. However, whether people also seek unfavorable social information about ...
Spatial processing in a mental rotation task: Differences between high and low math-anxiety individuals
Previous studies suggested that highly math-anxious (HMA) individuals invest more attentional resources than their low math-anxious (LMA) peers in numerical tasks, and have worse spatial skills. We aimed to explore whether ...
Corrective saccades influence velocity judgements and interception
In daily life we often interact with moving objects in tasks that involve analyzing visual motion, like catching a ball. To do so successfully we track objects with our gaze, using a combination of smooth pursuit and ...
