Predicting emotion perception abilities for cochlear implant users

Author(s): Paquette S; Deroche MLD; Goffi-Gomez MV; Hoshino ACH; Lehmann A;

Objective: In daily life, failure to perceive emotional expressions can result in maladjusted behaviour. For cochlear implant users, perceiving emotional cues in sounds remains challenging, and the factors explaining the variability in patients' sensitivity to emotions are currently poorly understood. Understanding how these factors r ...

Transparency and completeness of reporting of depression screening tool accuracy studies: A meta-research review of adherence to the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies statement

Author(s): Nassar EL; Levis B; Neyer MA; Rice DB; Booij L; Benedetti A; Thombs BD;

Objectives: Accurate and complete study reporting allows evidence users to critically appraise studies, evaluate possible bias, and assess generalizability and applicability. We evaluated the extent to which recent studies on depression screening accuracy were reported consistent with Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (STARD) statemen ...

Associations between early poverty exposure and adolescent well-being: The role of childhood negative emotionality

Author(s): De France K; Stack DM; Serbin LA;

Using a longitudinal design (Wave 1 n = 164, Mage = 3.57 years, 54% female, predominantly White and French-speaking), the current study sought to answer two questions: 1) does poverty influence children's negative emotionality through heightened family-level, poverty-related stress? and 2) is negative emotionality, in turn, predictive of adolescent in ...

Financial well-being: Capturing an elusive construct with an optimized measure

Author(s): Aubrey M; Morin AJS; Fernet C; Carbonneau N;

Several definitions and measures of financial well-being (FWB) have been proposed in the scientific literature. The Multidimensional Subjective Financial Well-being Scale (MSFWBS) stands out among these measures in its ability to account for the conceptual richness of FWB. However, the original validation study based on a confirmatory factor analytic mode ...

Dopamine and Beyond: Implications of Psychophysical Studies of Intracranial Self-Stimulation for the Treatment of Depression

Author(s): Pallikaras V; Shizgal P;

Major depressive disorder is a leading cause of disability and suicide worldwide. Consecutive rounds of conventional interventions are ineffective in a significant sub-group of patients whose disorder is classified as treatment-resistant depression. Significant progress in managing this severe form of depression has been achieved through the use of deep b ...

Behavioral, Neural, and Molecular Mechanisms of Conditioned Mate Preference: The Role of Opioids and First Experiences of Sexual Reward

Author(s): Gonzalo R Quintana

Although mechanisms of mate preference are thought to be relatively hard-wired, experience with appetitive and consummatory sexual reward has been shown to condition preferences for partner related cues and even objects that predict sexual reward. Here, we reviewed evidence from laboratory species and humans on sexually conditioned place, partner, and eja ...

Social decision-making in Parkinson's disease

Author(s): Caballero JA; Auclair Ouellet N; Phillips NA; Pell MD;

Introduction: Parkinson's Disease (PD) commonly affects cognition and communicative functions, including the ability to perceive socially meaningful cues from nonverbal behavior and spoken language (e.g., a speaker's tone of voice). However, we know little about how people with PD use social information to make decisions in daily interactions (e.g ...

Modeling hormonal contraception in female rats: a framework for studies in behavioral neurobiology

Author(s): Lacasse JM; Gomez-Perales E; Brake WG;

Research on hormonal contraceptives (HC) in animal models is lacking, and as a result, so is our understanding of the impact of HC on the brain and behavior. Here, we provide a review of the pharmacology of HC, as well as the methodology and best practices for designing a model of HC in female rats. We outline specific methodological considerations regard ...

Experimental chambers Persistent disruption of overexpectation learning after inactivation of the lateral orbitofrontal cortex in male rats

Author(s): Lay BPP; Choudhury R; Esber GR; Iordanova MD;

Rationale and objective: Learning to inhibit acquired fear responses is fundamental to adaptive behavior. Two procedures that support such learning are extinction and overexpectation. In extinction, an expected outcome is omitted, whereas in overexpectation two individually trained cues are presented in compound to induce an expectation of a greater outco ...

A Newly Identified Impairment in Both Vision and Hearing Increases the Risk of Deterioration in Both Communication and Cognitive Performance

Author(s): Guthrie DM; Williams N; Campos J; Mick P; Orange JB; Pichora-Fuller MK; Savundranayagam MY; Wittich W; Phillips NA;

Vision and hearing impairments are highly prevalent in adults 65 years of age and older. There is a need to understand their association with multiple health-related outcomes. We analyzed data from the Resident Assessment Instrument for Home Care (RAI-HC). Home care clients were followed for up t ...

Measures of motor segmentation from rapid isometric force pulses are reliable and differentiate Parkinson's disease from age-related slowing

Author(s): Howard SL; Grenet D; Bellumori M; Knight CA;

Some people with Parkinson's disease (PD) have disruptions in motor output during rapid isometric muscle contractions. Measures of such disruptions (motor segmentation) may help clarify disease subtype, progression, or effects of therapeutic interventions. We investigated the potential utility of segmentation measures by testing two hypotheses that ar ...
