The within-subject application of diffusion tensor MRI and CLARITY reveals brain structural changes in Nrxn2 deletion mice (2019)
Journal Article
Pervolaraki, E., Tyson, A., Pibiri, F., Poulter, S., Reichelt, A., Rodgers, R., Clapcote, S., Lever, C., Andreae, L., & Dachtler, J. (2019). The within-subject application of diffusion tensor MRI and CLARITY reveals brain structural changes in Nrxn2 deletion mice. Molecular Autism, 10, Article 8. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13229-019-0261-9

Background: Of the many genetic mutations known to increase the risk of autism spectrum disorder, a large proportion cluster upon synaptic proteins. One such family of presynaptic proteins are the neurexins (NRXN), and recent genetic and mouse eviden...

Journal Article
Kapitány, R., Kavanagh, C., Buhrmester, M. D., Newson, M., & Whitehouse, H. (2020). Ritual, identity fusion, and the inauguration of president Trump: a pseudo-experiment of ritual modes theory. Self and Identity, 19(3), 293-323. https://doi.org/10.1080/15298868.2019.1578686

The US Presidential Inauguration is a symbolic event which arouses significant emotional responses among diverse groups, and is of considerable significance to Americans’ personal and social identities. We argue that the inauguration qualifies as an... Read More about Ritual, identity fusion, and the inauguration of president Trump: a pseudo-experiment of ritual modes theory.

Plasticity versus chronicity: Stable performance on category fluency 40 years post-onset (2019)
Journal Article
de Haan, E. H., Seijdel, N., Kentridge, R. W., & Heywood, C. A. (2020). Plasticity versus chronicity: Stable performance on category fluency 40 years post-onset. Journal of Neuropsychology, 14(1), 20-27. https://doi.org/10.1111/jnp.12180

What is the long‐term trajectory of semantic memory deficits in patients who have suffered structural brain damage? Memory is, per definition, a changing faculty. The traditional view is that after an initial recovery period, the mature human brain h... Read More about Plasticity versus chronicity: Stable performance on category fluency 40 years post-onset.

The Relationship between Visuospatial Working Memory and Mathematical Performance in School-Aged Children: a Systematic Review (2019)
Journal Article
