Brain serotonin, oxytocin, and their interaction: Relevance for eating disorders

Author(s): Ismaylova E; Nemoda Z; Booij L;

Introduction: Eating disorders are characterized by maladaptive eating behaviors and preoccupations around body shape, weight, and eating. The serotonin system has been among the most widely studied neurobiological factors in relation to eating disorders. Recent research also highlighted the role of oxytocin. Aims and methods: This article aims to review ...

Progesterone and allopregnanolone facilitate excitatory synaptic transmission in the infralimbic cortex via activation of membrane progesterone receptors

Author(s): Rahaei N; Buynack LM; Kires L; Movasseghi Y; Chapman CA;

Estrogens and progesterone can have rapid effects on neuronal function and can modify the use of spatial navigation strategies dependent upon the prefrontal cortex, striatum, and hippocampus. Here, we assessed the effects of 17ß-estradiol (E2), progesterone, and its metabolite allopregnanolone, on evoked excitatory postsynaptic potentials in the infralimb ...

Validation and Reliability of the Dyslexia Adult Checklist in Screening for Dyslexia

Author(s): Stark Z; Elalouf K; Soldano V; Franzen L; Johnson AP;

Dyslexia is a language-based neurobiological and developmental learning disability marked by inaccurate and disfluent word recognition, poor decoding, and difficulty spelling. Individuals can be diagnosed with and experience symptoms of dyslexia throughout their lifespan. Screening tools such as the Dyslexia Adult Checklist allow individuals to self-evalu ...

Developmental heterogeneity of school burnout across the transition from upper secondary school to higher education: A 9-year follow-up study

Author(s): Nadon L; Morin AJS; Gilbert W; Olivier E; Salmela-Aro K;

This study utilized piecewise linear growth mixture analysis to examine the developmental heterogeneity of school burnout among a sample of 513 (67.6% females) Finnish students as they transitioned from upper secondary school to higher education (ages 17-25 years). Encompassing five measurement points (two before the transition and three after), our resul ...

Resilience, Stress, and Mental Health Among University Students: A Test of the Resilience Portfolio Model

Author(s): Fang S; Barker E; Arasaratnam G; Lane V; Rabinovich D; Panaccio A; O' Connor RM; Nguyen CT; Doucerain MM;

In recent years, post-secondary students' mental health has become an important public health concern. However, studies examining protective factors of mental health among students and during challenging times are limited. Guided by the strength-based Resilience Portfolio Model and following ...

Speech-in-noise, psychosocial, and heart rate variability outcomes of group singing or audiobook club interventions for older adults with unaddressed hearing loss: A SingWell Project multisite, randomized controlled trial, registered report protocol

Author(s): Lo CY; Zendel BR; Baskent D; Boyle C; Coffey E; Gagne N; Habibi A; Harding E; Keijzer M; Kreutz G; Maat B; Schurig E; Sharma M; Dang C; Gilmore S; Henshaw H; McKay CM; Good A; Russo FA;

Background: Unaddressed age-related hearing loss is highly prevalent among older adults, typified by negative consequences for speech-in-noise perception and psychosocial wellbeing. There is promising evidence that group singing may enhance speech-in-noise perception and psychosocial wellbeing. H ...

Neuroscience: Setting the neurobiological occasions for hierarchical learning and inference

Author(s): Ratemi M; Gardner MPH;

Hierarchical associations help animals navigate the environment by using contextual and latent states to guide learning and behavior. Chemogenetic inactivation in an occasion setting task reveals that orbitofrontal cortex is essential for implementing a hierarchical task structure, yet both orbitofrontal cortex and dorsal hippocampus are required for new ...

Further analyses of appraisals of losing control and other OCD-related cognitions: A quasi-experimental investigation

Author(s): Sandstrom A; Radomsky AS;

Background and objectives: Cognitive models of OCD posit that dysfunctional beliefs contribute to the maintenance of symptoms. In addition to well-established belief domains, beliefs about losing control has been identified as a novel cognitive domain which may influence OCD phenomena, including other dysfunctional beliefs. However, the exact nature of th ...

Effects of chronodisruption and alcohol consumption on gene expression in reward-related brain areas in female rats

Author(s): Meyer C; Schoettner K; Amir S;

Circadian dysfunction caused by exposure to aberrant light-dark conditions is associated with abnormal alcohol consumption in humans and animal models. Changes in drinking behavior have been linked to alterations in clock gene expression in reward-related brain areas, which could be attributed to either the effect of chronodisruption or alcohol. To date, ...

Infants' Social Evaluation of Helpers and Hinderers: A Large-Scale, Multi-Lab, Coordinated Replication Study

Author(s): Lucca K; Yuen F; Wang Y; Alessandroni N; Allison O; Alvarez M; Axelsson EL; Baumer J; Baumgartner HA; Bertels J; Bhavsar M; Byers-Heinlein K; Capelier-Mourguy A; Chijiiwa H; Chin CS; Christner N; Cirelli LK; Corbit J; Daum MM; Doan T; Dr ...

Evaluating whether someone's behavior is praiseworthy or blameworthy is a fundamental human trait. A seminal study by Hamlin and colleagues in 2007 suggested that the ability to form social evaluations based on third-party interactions emerges within the first year of life: infants preferred ...

Auditory processing up to cortex is maintained during sleep spindles

Author(s): Jourde HR; Coffey EBJ;

Sleep spindles are transient 11-16 Hz brain oscillations generated by thalamocortical circuits. Their role in memory consolidation is well established, but how they play a role in sleep continuity and protection of memory consolidation against interference is unclear. One theory posits that spindles or a neural refractory period following their offset act ...
