Memories of mother, complementarity and shame: predicting response to subliminal stimulation with "Mommy and I are one".

A poorly understood finding with potentially wide-ranging implications is that subliminal stimulation with "Mommy and I are one" affects behavior. In this study (n= 62), "Mommy and I are one" lowered implicit mood (p= 0.0015) in comparison with a neutral ...

CSF galanin and cognition after shunt surgery in normal pressure hydrocephalus.

BACKGROUND: "Normal" pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is associated with injury to neurotransmitter and neuropeptide systems that recovers after surgery. This could be linked to changes in galanin, a neuropeptide with inhibitory effects on basal forebrain ...

Higher cortisol levels following exposure to traumatic reminders in abuse-related PTSD.

Animal studies have found that prior stressful events can result in increased reactivity in the HPA-axis. However, baseline function of the HPA-axis has typically been normal or decreased in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The first purpose of ...

Spatiotemporal characteristics of dynamic feature binding in visual working memory.

It has been proposed that visual working memory can hold a set of four to five coherent object representations. As a test of this proposal, I devised a paradigm called multiple object permanence tracking (MOPT) that measures memory for feature-location ...

Identity and expression memory for happy and angry faces in social anxiety.

We examined the influence of social anxiety on memory for both identity and emotional expressions of unfamiliar faces. Participants high and low in social anxiety were presented with happy and angry faces and were later asked to recognise the same faces ...

Spatio-temporal working-memory and short-term object-location tasks use different memory mechanisms.

Spatial short-term memory for objects locations was investigated in a spatial relocation task. During maintenance, dynamic visual noise or spatial tapping were administered as visual or spatial secondary tasks, respectively. Because memory for location ...

Informed consent in dermatologic surgery.

BACKGROUND: The issue of informed consent retention has not been previously addressed in dermatology literature. Several studies in other fields of medicine have shown that retention rates are below 50%. OBJECTIVE: To determine the percentage of ...

Usefulness of language and memory testing during intracarotid amobarbital testing: observations from an fMRI study.

BACKGROUND: Several procedures for testing language lateralization and memory function exist during the intracarotid amobarbital test (IAT). The use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) gives the opportunity to assess the validity of some of ...

Functional-anatomic correlates of sustained and transient processing components engaged during controlled retrieval.

Controlled processing is central to episodic memory retrieval. In the present study, neural correlates of sustained, as well as transient, processing components were explored during controlled retrieval using a mixed blocked event-related functional ...

Dissociable neural mechanisms underlying response-based and familiarity-based conflict in working memory.

Cognitive control requires the resolution of interference among competing and potentially conflicting representations. Such conflict can emerge at different points between stimulus input and response generation, with the net effect being that of ...
