The human prefrontal cortex mediates integration of potential causes behind observed outcomes (2011)
Journal Article
Wunderlich, K., Beierholm, U. R., Bossaerts, P., & O'Doherty, J. P. (2011). The human prefrontal cortex mediates integration of potential causes behind observed outcomes. Journal of Neurophysiology, 106(3), 1558-1569. https://doi.org/10.1152/jn.01051.2010

Prefrontal cortex has long been implicated in tasks involving higher order inference in which decisions must be rendered, not only about which stimulus is currently rewarded, but also which stimulus dimensions are currently relevant. However, the pre... Read More about The human prefrontal cortex mediates integration of potential causes behind observed outcomes.

Neural substrates of visual spatial coding and visual feedback control for hand movements in allocentric and target-directed tasks (2011)
Journal Article
Thaler, L., & Goodale, M. (2011). Neural substrates of visual spatial coding and visual feedback control for hand movements in allocentric and target-directed tasks. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 5, Article 92. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2011.00092

Neuropsychological evidence suggests that different brain areas may be involved in movements that are directed at visual targets (e.g., pointing or reaching), and movements that are based on allocentric visual information (e.g., drawing or copying)....

Experience-dependent plasticity acts via GluR1 and a novel neuronal nitric oxide synthase-dependent synaptic mechanism in adult cortex (2011)
Journal Article
Dachtler, J., Hardingham, N., Glazewski, S., Wright, N., Blain, E., & Fox, K. (2011). Experience-dependent plasticity acts via GluR1 and a novel neuronal nitric oxide synthase-dependent synaptic mechanism in adult cortex. Journal of Neuroscience, 31(31), 11220-11230. https://doi.org/10.1523/jneurosci.1590-11.2011

Synaptic plasticity directs development of the nervous system and is thought to underlie memory storage in adult animals. A great deal of our current understanding of the role of AMPA receptors in synaptic plasticity comes from studies on developing...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage patients' fears of recurrence are related to the presence of posttraumatic stress disorder (2011)
Journal Article
Noble, A., Baisch, S., Covey, J., Mukerji, N., Nath, F., & Schenk, T. (2011). Subarachnoid hemorrhage patients' fears of recurrence are related to the presence of posttraumatic stress disorder. Neurosurgery, 69(2), 323-333. https://doi.org/10.1227/neu.0b013e318216047e

BACKGROUND: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients illustrate a chronic fear of recurrence. A third of patients develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after SAH, and PTSD after other conditions is associated with a more negative outlook on life...

Do Facial Expressions Develop before Birth? (2011)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Francis, B., Mason, J., & Lincoln, K. (2011). Do Facial Expressions Develop before Birth?. PLoS ONE, 6(8), Article e24081. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0024081

Background: Fetal facial development is essential not only for postnatal bonding between parents and child, but also theoretically for the study of the origins of affect. However, how such movements become coordinated is poorly understood. 4-D ultras... Read More about Do Facial Expressions Develop before Birth?.

The involvement of posterior parietal cortex in feature and conjunction visuomotor search (2011)
Journal Article
Lane, A., Smith, D., Schenk, T., & Ellison, A. (2011). The involvement of posterior parietal cortex in feature and conjunction visuomotor search. The Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 23(8), 1964-1972. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn.2010.21576

Successful interaction with the environment often involves the identification and localization of a particular item. Right posterior parietal cortex (rPPC) is necessary for the successful completion of conjunction but not feature visual search, regar...

Separate encoding of model-based and model-free valuations in the human brain (2011)
Journal Article
Beierholm, U. R., Anen, C., Quartz, S., & Bossaerts, P. (2011). Separate encoding of model-based and model-free valuations in the human brain. NeuroImage, 58(3), 955-962. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2011.06.071

Behavioral studies have long shown that humans solve problems in two ways, one intuitive and fast (System 1, model-free), and the other reflective and slow (System 2, model-based). The neurobiological basis of dual process problem solving remains unk... Read More about Separate encoding of model-based and model-free valuations in the human brain.

Spatial priming in visual search: memory for body-centred information (2011)
Journal Article
Ball, K., Lane, A., Ellison, A., & Schenk, T. (2011). Spatial priming in visual search: memory for body-centred information. Experimental Brain Research, 212(3), 477-485. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-011-2754-4

Spatial priming allows memory for target locations to be evaluated, whereby when a target appears in the same location across trials, participants become more efficient at locating it and consequently their search times decrease. Previously, we repor... Read More about Spatial priming in visual search: memory for body-centred information.

Interpersonal trust and market value moderates the bias in women’s preferences away from attractive high-status men (2011)
Journal Article
Chu, S., Farr, D., Munoz, L., & Lycett, J. (2011). Interpersonal trust and market value moderates the bias in women’s preferences away from attractive high-status men. Personality and Individual Differences, 51(2), 143-147. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2011.03.033

Women appear to exhibit a subtle reluctance to engage in long-term relationships with physically attractive, high-status men. We propose that this bias away from men of very high market value is based on fear that these males may desert a relationshi...
