La psiquiatría más allá del paradigma actual
(2013)A series of editorials in this journal have argued that psychiatry is in the midst of a crisis. The various solutions proposed would all involve a strengthening of psychiatry's identity as essentially "applied neuroscience". ... -
Learning and altering behaviours by reinforcement: Neurocognitive differences between children and adults
(2014)This study examined neurocognitive differences between children and adults in the ability to learn and adapt simple stimulus-response associations through feedback. Fourteen typically developing children (mean age=10.2) ... -
Lithium treatment in cluster headache, review of literature
(2009)Background: The pain, which is involved in Cluster Headache (CH), is excruciating and is probably one of the most painful conditions known to humans. In the early 70es it was found out that lithium could be used in treating ... -
Machine learning as a diagnostic decision aid for patients with transient loss of consciousness
(2020)BackgroundTransient loss of consciousness (TLOC) is a common reason for presentation to primary/emergency care; over 90% are because of epilepsy, syncope, or psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). Misdiagnoses are ... -
A meta-synthesis of qualitative studies on patients' views and experiences of Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis
(2019)Background and aims: The process of being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) can be long and frustrating for individuals, which may affect their perceptions of MS and future relationships with healthcare professionals. ... -
Modifiable risk factors for poor health outcomes in multiple sclerosis: The urgent need for research to maximise smoking cessation success
(2019)Tobacco smoking is a well-established risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS) onset, progression and poor health outcomes in people with MS. Despite smoking being a modifiable risk factor, no research has been undertaken ... -
Motor disorder in severe mental handicap
(1991)In response to the D. Rogers et al (see record 1991-21389-001) finding that motor disorder is significantly associated with more severe mental handicap, the present author discusses the appropriateness of using the Dyskinesia ... -
Multimodal coding and strategic approach in young and older adults' visual working memory performance
(2019)Visual working memory (WM) was investigated in young (18-35 yrs) and older (63-88 yrs) adults by assessing use of visual and verbal processing, and strategic approach. Experiment 1 comprised a visual interference paradigm, ... -
A neural basis for contagious yawning
(2017)Contagious yawning, in which yawning is triggered involuntarily when we observe another person yawn, is a common form of echophenomena-the automatic imitation of another's words (echolalia) or actions (echopraxia) [1]. The ... -
The notion of “invisibility” in people’s experiences of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis: a systematic meta-synthesis
(2020)Purpose: Invisible symptoms have a negative impact on people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), related to the very notion that they are “unseen.” It is important to understand the notion of “invisibility” in MS, as ... -
On the interaction between sad mood and cognitive control: The effect of induced sadness on electrophysiological modulations underlying Stroop conflict processing
(2013)The present study employed high-density ERPs to examine the effect of induced sad mood on the spatiotemporal correlates of conflict monitoring and resolution in a colour-word Stroop interference task. Neuroimaging evidence ... -
Oxytocin affects the connectivity of the precuneus and the amygdala: A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled neuroimaging trial
(2014)Background: Although oxytocin is one of the most widely studied neuropeptides in recent times, the mechanistic process by which it modulates social-affective behavior in the brain is not yet clearly understood. Thus, to ... -
Oxytocin modulates the effective connectivity between the precuneus and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
(2019)Our social activity is heavily influenced by the process of introspection, with emerging research suggesting a role for the Default Mode Network (DMN) in social cognition. We hypothesize that oxytocin, a neuropeptide with ... -
Patients' and carers' experiences of UK memory services
(2016)OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to test the validity of an accreditation programme for memory services in the UK by investigating whether different levels of accreditation status (excellent compared with accredited) ... -
Patterns and persistence of behavioural and psychological symptoms in those with cognitive impairment: The importance of apathy

Perfectionism related to self-reported insomnia severity, but not when controlled for stress and emotion regulation
(2015)BACKGROUND: Perfectionism is understood as a set of personality traits such as unrealistically high and rigid standards for performance, fear of failure, and excessive self-criticism. Previous studies showed a direct ... -
Pharyngeal electrical stimulation for neurogenic dysphagia following stroke, traumatic brain injury or other causes: Main results from the PHADER cohort study
(2020)BACKGROUND: Neurogenic dysphagia is common and has no definitive treatment. We assessed whether pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PES) is associated with reduced dysphagia. METHODS: The PHAryngeal electrical stimulation ... -
Post-stroke fatigue: A scoping review
(2020)Background: Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is one of the most common and frustrating outcomes of stroke. It has a high prevalence and it can persist for many years after stroke. PSF itself contributes to a wider range of ... -
Potential diagnostic and prognostic value of serum and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers in traumatic spinal cord injury: A systematic review
(2018)It remains unclear whether biomarkers in the serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can be used for diagnosis or prognosis of spinal cord injuries (SCI). Therefore, a systematic review was undertaken to evaluate the prognostic ...
