Estradiol Modulates Functional Brain Organization during the Menstrual Cycle: An Analysis of Interhemispheric Inhibition (2008)
Journal Article
Weis, S., Hausmann, M., Stoffers, B., Vohn, R., Kellermann, T., & Sturm, W. (2008). Estradiol Modulates Functional Brain Organization during the Menstrual Cycle: An Analysis of Interhemispheric Inhibition. Journal of Neuroscience, 28(50), 13401-13410. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.4392-08.2008

According to the hypothesis of progesterone-mediated interhemispheric decoupling (Hausmann and Güntürkün, 2000), functional cerebral asymmetries (FCAs), which are stable in men and change during the menstrual cycle in women, are generated by interhem...

Uneven integration for perception and action cues in children’s working memory (2008)
Journal Article
Nardini, M., Braddick, O., Atkinson, J., Cowie, D., Ahmed, T., & Reidy, H. (2008). Uneven integration for perception and action cues in children’s working memory. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 25(7-8), 968-984. https://doi.org/10.1080/02643290701866028

We examined the development of visual cue integration in a desktop working-memory task using boxes with different visual action cues (opening actions) and perceptual surface cues (colours, monochromatic textures, or images of faces). Children had to... Read More about Uneven integration for perception and action cues in children’s working memory.

Social predictors of psychotic experiences: Specificity and psychological mechanisms (2008)
Journal Article
Bentall, R., & Fernyhough, C. (2008). Social predictors of psychotic experiences: Specificity and psychological mechanisms. Schizophrenia Bulletin: The Journal of Psychoses and Related Disorders, 34(6), 1012-1020. https://doi.org/10.1093/schbul/sbn103

It has become widely accepted that the psychotic disorders are endpoints of atypical developmental trajectories indexed by abnormal emotional and cognitive development early in life. However, the role of environmental factors in determining these tra... Read More about Social predictors of psychotic experiences: Specificity and psychological mechanisms.

Language in autism and specific language impairment: Where are the links? (2008)
Journal Article
Williams, D., Botting, N., & Boucher, J. (2008). Language in autism and specific language impairment: Where are the links?. Psychological Bulletin, 134(6), 944-963. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0013743

It has been suggested that language impairment in autism is behaviorally, neurobiologically, and etiologically related to specific language impairment (SLI). In this article, the authors review evidence at each level and argue that the vast majority... Read More about Language in autism and specific language impairment: Where are the links?.

The Effect of Frequency of Cerebral Palsy Treatment: A Matched-Pair Pilot Study (2008)
Journal Article
Gagliardi, C., Maghini, C., Germiniasi, C., Stefanoni, G., Molteni, F., Burt, D., & Turconi, A. (2008). The Effect of Frequency of Cerebral Palsy Treatment: A Matched-Pair Pilot Study. Pediatric Neurology, 39(5), 335-340. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pediatrneurol.2008.07.021

The feasibility and effectiveness of a year-long integrated rehabilitation program for young children (less than 6 years old) with cerebral palsy was evaluated, and efficacy of different treatment schedules was compared. A sample of 40 children (20 m... Read More about The Effect of Frequency of Cerebral Palsy Treatment: A Matched-Pair Pilot Study.

Brief Report: Young adults with autism spectrum disorder show normal attention to eye-gaze information—evidence from a new change blindness paradigm (2008)
Journal Article
Fletcher-Watson, S., Leekam, S., Findlay, J., & Stanton, E. (2008). Brief Report: Young adults with autism spectrum disorder show normal attention to eye-gaze information—evidence from a new change blindness paradigm. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 38(9), 1785 -1790. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-008-0548-8

Other people’s eye-gaze is a powerful social stimulus that captures and directs visual attention. There is evidence that this is not the case for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), although less is known about attention to eye-gaze in adul...

fMRI Evidence for the Effect of Verbal Complexity on Lateralisation of the Neural Response Associated with Decoding Prosodic Emotion (2008)
Journal Article
Mitchell, R., & Ross, E. (2008). fMRI Evidence for the Effect of Verbal Complexity on Lateralisation of the Neural Response Associated with Decoding Prosodic Emotion. Neuropsychologia, 46(12), 2880-2887. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.05.024

The pattern of intonation accompanying an utterance provides a powerful cue as to a speaker’s emotional state of mind. Most prior lesion studies have demonstrated that the nodal point for decoding these prosodic emotion cues is mediated by unimodal a...
