Ethnolinguistic concordance and the receipt of postpartum IUD counseling services in Sri Lanka.
(2018-12-01)CONTEXT: Ethnic and linguistic concordance are important dimensions of the patient-physician relationship, and are linked to health care disparities. However, evidence on the associations between health behavior and outcomes ... -
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 ... -
Media literacy at all levels: making the humanities more inclusive
