Optogenetic induction of the schizophrenia-related endophenotype of ventral hippocampal hyperactivity causes rodent correlates of positive and cognitive symptoms (2018)
Journal Article
Wolff, A. R., Bygrave, A. M., Sanderson, D. J., Boyden, E. S., Bannerman, D. M., Kullmann, D. M., & Dennis Kätzel, D. (2018). Optogenetic induction of the schizophrenia-related endophenotype of ventral hippocampal hyperactivity causes rodent correlates of positive and cognitive symptoms. Scientific Reports, 8, Article 12871. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-31163-5

Pathological over-activity of the CA1 subfield of the human anterior hippocampus has been identified as a potential predictive marker for transition from a prodromal state to overt schizophrenia. Psychosis, in turn, is associated with elevated activi...

Light social drinkers are more distracted by irrelevant information from an induced attentional bias than heavy social drinkers (2018)
Journal Article
Knight, H. C., Smith, D. T., Knight, D. C., & Ellison, A. (2018). Light social drinkers are more distracted by irrelevant information from an induced attentional bias than heavy social drinkers. Psychopharmacology, 235(10), 2967-2978. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00213-018-4987-4

It is well established that alcoholics and heavy social drinkers show a bias of attention towards alcohol-related items. Previous research suggests that there is a shared foundation of attentional bias, which is linked to attentional control settings...

Impact of reducing portion sizes in worksite cafeterias: a stepped wedge randomised controlled pilot trial (2018)
Journal Article
Hollands, G., Cartwright, E., Pilling, M., Pechey, R., Vasiljevic, M., Jebb, S., & Marteau, T. (2018). Impact of reducing portion sizes in worksite cafeterias: a stepped wedge randomised controlled pilot trial. International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 15, https://doi.org/10.1186/s12966-018-0705-1

Background: Reducing the portion sizes of foods available in restaurants and cafeterias is one promising approach to reducing energy intake, but there is little evidence of its impact from randomised studies in field settings. This study aims to i. e... Read More about Impact of reducing portion sizes in worksite cafeterias: a stepped wedge randomised controlled pilot trial.

Goal Directed Behaviours: The Development of Pre-Natal Touch Behaviours (2018)
Book Chapter
Reissland, N., & Austen, J. (2018). Goal Directed Behaviours: The Development of Pre-Natal Touch Behaviours. In D. Corbetta, & M. Santello (Eds.), Reach-to-grasp behavior : brain, behavior, and modelling across the life span (3-17). Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429467875-1

Through their general movements in the womb, human fetuses will touch various aspects of their environment. This might include their own bodies, the body of a twin, the uterine wall, and the umbilical cord. Somatosensory responses can be observed as...

Enhancement of face-sensitive ERPs in older adults induced by face recognition training (2018)
Journal Article
Limbach, K., Kaufmann, J. M., Wiese, H., Witte, O. W., & Schweinberger, S. R. (2018). Enhancement of face-sensitive ERPs in older adults induced by face recognition training. Neuropsychologia, 119, 197-213. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2018.08.010

A common cognitive problem reported by older people is compromised face recognition, which is often paralleled by age-related changes in face-sensitive and memory-related components in event-related brain potentials (ERPs). We developed a new trainin... Read More about Enhancement of face-sensitive ERPs in older adults induced by face recognition training.

Effects of maternal anxiety and depression on fetal neuro-development (2018)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Froggatt, S., Reames, E., & Girkin, J. (2018). Effects of maternal anxiety and depression on fetal neuro-development. Journal of Affective Disorders, 241, 469-474. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2018.08.047

Background: Fetal development is affected by maternal mental health with research indicating that maternal anxiety and depression are co-morbid; nevertheless differential effects on the fetus have been found. This study examines, prenatally, effects... Read More about Effects of maternal anxiety and depression on fetal neuro-development.

Musical hallucinations, musical imagery, and earworms: A new phenomenological survey (2018)
Journal Article
Moseley, P., Alderson-Day, B., Kumar, S., & Fernyhough, C. (2018). Musical hallucinations, musical imagery, and earworms: A new phenomenological survey. Consciousness and Cognition, 65, 83-94. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2018.07.009

Musical hallucinations (MH) account for a significant proportion of auditory hallucinations, but there is a relative lack of research into their phenomenology. In contrast, much research has focused on other forms of internally generated musical expe... Read More about Musical hallucinations, musical imagery, and earworms: A new phenomenological survey.

Impact of lower strength alcohol labeling on consumption: A randomized controlled trial (2018)
Journal Article
Vasiljevic, M., Couturier, D., Frings, D., Moss, A., Albery, I., & Marteau, T. (2018). Impact of lower strength alcohol labeling on consumption: A randomized controlled trial. Health Psychology, 37(7), 658-667. https://doi.org/10.1037/hea0000622

Objective: Labels indicating low/light versions of tobacco and foods are perceived as less harmful, which may encourage people to consume more. There is an absence of evidence concerning the impact on consumption of labeling alcohol products as lower...

Spatial Working Memory in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (2018)
Journal Article
Smith, D., & Archibald, N. (2020). Spatial Working Memory in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. Cortex, 122, 115-122. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2018.07.004

The neural and cognitive mechanisms of spatial working memory are tightly coupled with the systems that control eye-movements but the precise nature of this coupling is not well understood. In particular, there are very few neuropsychological studies... Read More about Spatial Working Memory in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.
