BACKGROUND: Depression and overweight are each associated with abnormal immune system activation. We sought to disentangle the extent to which depressive symptoms and overweight status contributed to increased inflammation and...
Neuromodulation plays a fundamental role in the acquisition of new behaviours. In previous experimental work, we showed that acetylcholine biases hippocampal synaptic plasticity towards depression, and the subsequent application...
Abstract: Background: Alveolar capillary dysplasia (ACD) is a rare cause of severe pulmonary hypertension and respiratory failure in neonates. The onset of ACD is usually preceded by a short asymptomatic period. The condition is...
A fundamental unresolved problem in neuroscience is how the brain associates in memory events that are separated in time. Here, we propose that reactivation-induced synaptic plasticity can solve this problem. Previously, we...

Practicing acts of kindness is beneficial to one’s well-being, but is simply being nice to others also beneficial? In a correlational Study 1 (N=497), self-reported behavioral niceness was positively correlated with happiness...
In the past twenty years, the experimental approach to the study of meaning has reached a substantial
level of awareness of itself as a sub-discipline at the intersection of linguistics and psychology with
connections to...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are materials with exceptional electrical, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties. Ever since it was demonstrated that they also possess interesting thermoelectric properties, they have been...

Structural and functional abnormalities of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) have been implicated in affective disorders that manifest anxiety-related symptoms. However, research into the functions of primate OFC has predominantly...
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is a key brain structure implicated in mood and anxiety disorders, based primarily on evidence from correlational neuroimaging studies. Composed of a number of brain regions with...
