Working memory revived in older adults by synchronizing rhythmic brain circuits
(2019-04-08)Understanding normal brain aging and developing methods to maintain or improve cognition in older adults are major goals of fundamental and translational neuroscience. Here we show a core feature of cognitive decline—wor ... -
Role of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors in action-based predictive coding deficits in schizophrenia
(Elsevier, 2017-03-15)BACKGROUND Recent theoretical models of schizophrenia posit that dysfunction of the neural mechanisms subserving predictive coding contributes to symptoms and cognitive deficits, and this dysfunction is further posited ... -
Using transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) to understand cognitive processing
(Psychonomic Society, 2017-01-01)Noninvasive brain stimulation methods are becoming increasingly common tools in the kit of the cognitive scientist. In particular, transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is showing great promise as a tool to causally ... -
Electrical stimulation of visual cortex can immediately improve spatial vision
(CELL PRESS, 2016-07-25)SUMMARY We can improve human vision by correcting the optics of our lenses [1, 2, 3]. However, after the eye transduces the light, visual cortex has its own limitations that are challenging to correct [4]. Overcoming ... -
Disruption and rescue of interareal theta phase coupling and adaptive behavior
(National Academy of Sciences, 2017-09-06)Rescuing executive functions in people with neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders has been a major goal of psychology and neuroscience for decades. Innovative computer-training regimes for executive functions have ... -
Brain-state determines learning improvements after transcranial alternating-current stimulation to frontal cortex
(Elsevier, 2018-02-17)BACKGROUND Theories of executive control propose that communication between medial frontal cortex (MFC) and lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) is critical for learning. 6-Hz phase synchronization may be the mechanism by ... -
F211. Finding and fixing attentional dysfunction in schizophrenia
(2018-04-01)BACKGROUND Schizophrenia is the most debilitating health problem that exists, and its cognitive impairments are the greatest predictor of disability. Since the earliest clinical descriptions of the illness, abnormalities ... -
From extinction learning to anxiety treatment: mind the gap
(2019-07-11)Laboratory models of extinction learning in animals and humans have the potential to illuminate methods for improving clinical treatment of fear-based clinical disorders. However, such translational research often neglects ... -
Great nature’s second course: Introduction to the special issue on the behavioral neuroscience of sleep
(American Psychological Association, 2016)Sleep is necessary for normal psychological functioning, and psychological function in turn affects sleep integrity. Recent investigations delineate the relation of sleep to a broad array of processes ranging from learning ... -
Fluency boost from walking in Parkinson's disease
(WILEY, 2017-06-01)OBJECTIVE: Examine the impact of a motor task on verbal fluency in individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) Background: Dual-tasking, in which individuals engage simultaneously in motor and cognitive tasks, has long been ...
