Dissociable Processing of Emotional and Neutral Body Movements Revealed by μ-Alpha and Beta Rhythms (2018)
Journal Article
Siqi-Liu, A., Harris, A. M., Atkinson, A. P., & Reed, C. L. (2018). Dissociable Processing of Emotional and Neutral Body Movements Revealed by μ-Alpha and Beta Rhythms. Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 12(4), 1269-1279. https://doi.org/10.1093/scan/nsy094

Both when actions are executed and observed, electroencephalography (EEG) has shown reduced alpha-band (8–12 Hz) oscillations over sensorimotor cortex. This ‘μ-alpha’ suppression is thought to reflect mental simulation of action, which has been argue...

Impact of warning labels on sugar-sweetened beverages on parental selection: An online experimental study (2018)
Journal Article
Mantzari, E., Vasiljevic, M., Turney, I., Pilling, M., & Marteau, T. (2018). Impact of warning labels on sugar-sweetened beverages on parental selection: An online experimental study. Preventive Medicine Reports, 12, 259-267. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pmedr.2018.10.016

Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are one of the largest added sugar sources to diets in the UK and USA, particularly among young people. Warning labels, including calorie information labels, could reduce SSB consumption but uncertainty surrounds the...

Higher fundamental frequency in bonobos is explained by larynx morphology (2018)
Journal Article
Grawunder, S., Crockford, C., Clay, Z., Kalan, A., Stevens, J., Stoessel, A., & Hohmann, G. (2018). Higher fundamental frequency in bonobos is explained by larynx morphology. Current Biology, 28(20), R1188-R1189. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2018.09.030

Acoustic signals, shaped by natural and sexual selection, reveal ecological and social selection pressures [1]. Examining acoustic signals together with morphology can be particularly revealing. But this approach has rarely been applied to primates,... Read More about Higher fundamental frequency in bonobos is explained by larynx morphology.

The developmental transcriptome of the human heart (2018)
Journal Article
Pervolaraki, E., Dachtler, J., Anderson, R., & Holden, A. (2018). The developmental transcriptome of the human heart. Scientific Reports, 8(1), Article 15362. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-33837-6

The human heart develops through complex mechanisms producing morphological and functional changes during gestation. We have recently demonstrated using diffusion tensor MRI that over the relatively short space of 40 days, between 100–140 days gestat...

Investigating the roles of medial prefrontal and superior temporal cortex in source monitoring (2018)
Journal Article

Source monitoring, or the ability to recall the origin of information, is a crucial aspect of remembering past experience. One facet of this, reality monitoring, refers to the ability to distinguish between internally generated and externally generat...

Genetic Variation in the Psychiatric Risk Gene CACNA1C Modulates Reversal Learning Across Species (2018)
Journal Article
Sykes, L., Haddon, J., Lancaster, T. M., Sykes, A., Azzouni, K., Ihssen, N., …Hall, J. (2019). Genetic Variation in the Psychiatric Risk Gene CACNA1C Modulates Reversal Learning Across Species. Schizophrenia Bulletin: The Journal of Psychoses and Related Disorders, 45(5), 1024-1032. https://doi.org/10.1093/schbul/sby146

Genetic variation in CACNA1C, which encodes the alpha-1 subunit of Cav1.2 L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), has been strongly linked to risk for psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. How genetic variation in... Read More about Genetic Variation in the Psychiatric Risk Gene CACNA1C Modulates Reversal Learning Across Species.

Sex hormonal effects on brain lateralization (2018)
Book Chapter

Functional cerebral asymmetries (FCAs) refer to variation in neural function between the left and right cerebral hemisphere. Small but robust sex differences in FCAs are frequently observed. However, there are considerable inconsistencies between stu... Read More about Sex hormonal effects on brain lateralization.

Properties of Familiar Face Representations: Only Contrast Positive Faces Contain All Information Necessary for Efficient Recognition (2018)
Journal Article
Wiese, H., Chan, C., & Tüttenberg, S. (2019). Properties of Familiar Face Representations: Only Contrast Positive Faces Contain All Information Necessary for Efficient Recognition. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 45(9), 1583-1598. https://doi.org/10.1037/xlm0000665

It is difficult to recognize the identity of a face presented in negative contrast. This difficulty, however, is substantially reduced when only the eye region is contrast positive in an otherwise negative face image, and recognition of these so-call...

On the Necessity of Consciousness for Sophisticated Human Action (2018)
Journal Article
Baumeister, R., Lau, S., Maranges, H., & Clark, C. (2018). On the Necessity of Consciousness for Sophisticated Human Action. Frontiers in Psychology, 9, Article 1925. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01925

In this essay, we aim to counter and qualify the epiphenomenalist challenge proposed in this special issue on the grounds of empirical and theoretical arguments. The current body of scientific knowledge strongly indicates that conscious thought is a... Read More about On the Necessity of Consciousness for Sophisticated Human Action.
