Auditory evoked response to an oddball paradigm in children wearing cochlear implants

Author(s): Deroche MLD; Wolfe J; Neumann S; Manning J; Towler W; Alemi R; Bien AG; Koirala N; Hanna L; Henry L; Gracco VL;

Objective: Although children with cochlear implants (CI) achieve remarkable success with their device, considerable variability remains in individual outcomes. Here, we explored whether auditory evoked potentials recorded during an oddball paradigm could provide useful markers of auditory process ...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of probiotics on oxidative stress in healthy adults

Author(s): St-Amant A; Bergdahl A;

Background: The oxidative stress (OS) theory of disease stipulates that a chronic imbalance in the ratio of oxidants to antioxidants in the cellular environment leads to a variety of debilitating conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and liver diseases. Metabolites in the gut microbiome have been associated with increases in reactive oxyge ...

Taking stock of the past: A psychometric evaluation of the Autobiographical Interview

Author(s): Lockrow AW; Setton R; Spreng KAP; Sheldon S; Turner GR; Spreng RN;

Autobiographical memory (AM) involves a rich phenomenological re-experiencing of a spatio-temporal event from the past, which is challenging to objectively quantify. The Autobiographical Interview (AI; Levine et al. Psychology and Aging, 17(4), 677-689, 2002) is a manualized performance-based assessment designed to quantify episodic (internal) and semanti ...

Coping and Conformity Motives Mediate the Joint Effects of the Behavioral Inhibition and Approach Systems on Alcohol Problems in Young Adults

Author(s): Morris V; Keough MT; Stewart SH; O' Connor RM;

i>Background: Gray's original Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) posits that an oversensitive behavioral inhibition system (BIS) may increase risk for negative-reinforcement-motivated drinking, given its role in anxiety. However, existing data provides mixed support for the BIS-alcohol use association. The inconsistent evidence is not surprising, ...

Intelligent operation, maintenance, and control system for public building: Towards infection risk mitigation and energy efficiency

Author(s): Ren C; Zhu HC; Wang J; Feng Z; Chen G; Haghighat F; Cao SJ;

During the post-COVID-19 era, it is important but challenging to synchronously mitigate the infection risk and optimize the energy savings in public buildings. While, ineffective control of ventilation and purification systems can result in increased energy consumption and cross-contamination. This paper is to develop intelligent operation, maintenance, a ...

Danger Changes the Way the Brain Consolidates Neutral Information; and Does So by Interacting with Processes Involved in the Encoding of That Information

Author(s): Omar A Qureshi

This study examined the effect of danger on consolidation of neutral information in two regions of the rat (male and female) medial temporal lobe: the perirhinal cortex (PRh) and basolateral amygdala complex (BLA). The neutral information was the association that forms between an auditory stimulus and a visual stimulus (labeled S2 and S1) across their pai ...

Examining the influence of shyness on children's helping and comforting behaviour

Author(s): Karasewich TA; Hines C; Pinheiro SGV; Buchenrieder N; Dunfield KA; Kuhlmeier VA;

Introduction: Shy children, who tend to feel anxious around others and withdraw from social interactions, are found to be less prosocial than their not-shy peers in some studies, though not in others. To examine the contexts in which shy children may be more or less likely to engage in prosocial behaviour, we compared children's willingness and abilit ...

Identifying climate change refugia for South American biodiversity

Author(s): Sales LP; Pires MM;

Refugia-based conservation strategies offer long-term effectiveness and minimize uncertainty on strategies for climate change adaptation. Here, we use distribution modelling to identify climate change refugia for 617 terrestrial mammals and quantify the role of protected areas in safeguarding these zones across South America. Moist tropical forests locate ...
