Recent studies using transgenic mice lacking NMDA receptors in the hippocampus challenge the long-standing hypothesis that hippocampal long-term potentiation-like mechanisms underlie the encoding and storage of associative long-term spatial memories....

Neural mechanisms underlying visual short-term memory gain for temporally distinct objects (2014)
Journal Article
Ihssen, N., Linden, D., Miller, C., & Shapiro, K. (2015). Neural mechanisms underlying visual short-term memory gain for temporally distinct objects. Cerebral Cortex, 25(8), 2149-2159. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhu021

Recent research has shown that visual short-term memory (VSTM) can substantially be improved when the to-be-remembered objects are split in 2 half-arrays (i.e., sequenced) or the entire array is shown twice (i.e., repeated), rather than presented sim...

Fluency affects source memory for familiar names in younger and older adults: Evidence from event-related brain potentials (2014)
Journal Article
Komes, J., Schweinberger, S., & Wiese, H. (2014). Fluency affects source memory for familiar names in younger and older adults: Evidence from event-related brain potentials. NeuroImage, 92, 90-105. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2014.02.009

A current debate in memory research is whether and how the access to source information depends not only on recollection, but on fluency-based processes as well. In three experiments, we used event-related brain potentials (ERPs) to examine influence...

Breastfeeding Duration and Early Parenting Behaviour: The Importance of an Infant-Led, Responsive Style (2014)
Journal Article
Brown, A., & Arnott, B. (2014). Breastfeeding Duration and Early Parenting Behaviour: The Importance of an Infant-Led, Responsive Style. PLoS ONE, 9(2), Article e83893. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0083893

Background Popular parenting literature promotes different approaches to caring for infants, based around variations in the use of parent-led routines and promoting infant independence. However, there is little empirical evidence of how these early b... Read More about Breastfeeding Duration and Early Parenting Behaviour: The Importance of an Infant-Led, Responsive Style.

Sex and strife: post-conflict sexual contacts in bonobos. (2014)
Journal Article
Clay, Z., & de Waal, F. B. (2015). Sex and strife: post-conflict sexual contacts in bonobos. Behaviour, 152(3-4), 313-334. https://doi.org/10.1163/1568539x-00003155

Sexual contacts are thought to play an important role in regulating social tension in bonobos (Pan paniscus), and are especially common following aggressive conflicts, either between former opponents or involving bystanders. Nevertheless, research on... Read More about Sex and strife: post-conflict sexual contacts in bonobos..

Reducing Prejudice Through Mental Imagery: Notes on Replication, Interpretation, and Generalization. (2014)
Journal Article

Imagined intergroup contact (Crisp & Turner, 2009) is a new indirect contact strategy for promoting tolerance and more positive intergroup relations. McDonald, Donnellan, Lang, and Nikolajuk (2014) were unable to replicate the findings we obtained us...

Boundary coding in the rat subiculum (2014)
Journal Article
Stewart, S., Jeewajee, A., Wills, T., Burgess, N., & Lever, C. (2014). Boundary coding in the rat subiculum. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 369(1635), Article 20120514. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2012.0514

The spatial mapping function of the hippocampal formation is likely derived from two sets of information: one based on the external environment and the other based on self-motion. Here, we further characterize ‘boundary vector cells’ (BVCs) in the ra... Read More about Boundary coding in the rat subiculum.

Theta phase precession of grid and place cell firing in open environments (2014)
Journal Article
Jeewajee, A., Barry, C., Douchamps, V., Manson, D., Lever, C., & Burgess, N. (2014). Theta phase precession of grid and place cell firing in open environments. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 369(1635), Article 20120532. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2012.0532

Place and grid cells in the rodent hippocampal formation tend to fire spikes at successively earlier phases relative to the local field potential theta rhythm as the animal runs through the cell's firing field on a linear track. However, this ‘phase... Read More about Theta phase precession of grid and place cell firing in open environments.

Weighted cue integration in the rodent head direction system (2014)
Journal Article
Knight, R., Piette, C., Page, H., Walters, D., Marozzi, E., Nardini, M., …Jeffery, K. (2014). Weighted cue integration in the rodent head direction system. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 369(1635), Article 20120512. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2012.0512

How the brain combines information from different sensory modalities and of differing reliability is an important and still-unanswered question. Using the head direction (HD) system as a model, we explored the resolution of conflicts between landmark... Read More about Weighted cue integration in the rodent head direction system.

Imitating the child with autism: A strategy for early intervention? (2014)
Journal Article
Lidstone, J., Uljarević, M., Kanaris, H., Mullis, J., Fasoli, L., & Leekam, S. (2014). Imitating the child with autism: A strategy for early intervention?. Autism-open access, 4(1), Article 124. https://doi.org/10.4172/2165-7890.1000124

Research indicates that imitation is a promising strategy for early intervention with children who have autism. Using a single case design we studied the effectiveness of an established imitation-based intervention, Intensive Interaction, for two 3-y...
