Analysis of Early Intervention Services on Adult Judicial Outcomes
This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial assesses the association of specialty team-based services for first-episode psychosis with criminal justice outcomes compared with usual treatment.
From drugs to deprivation: a Bayesian framework for understanding models of psychosis
Various experimental manipulations, usually involving drug administration, have been used to produce symptoms of psychosis in healthy volunteers. Different drugs produce both common and distinct symptoms. A challenge is to understand how apparently...
Exploring the heart rate as a chronemic cue in virtual settings: how perceptions of consistent and varied heart rates of a storyteller influence self-reported other-arousal, empathy and social presence
(2020). Exploring the heart rate as a chronemic cue in virtual settings: how perceptions of consistent and varied heart rates of a storyteller influence self-reported other-arousal, empathy and social presence. Media Psychology. Ahead of Print.
Pharmacokinetics trumps pharmacodynamics during cocaine choice: a reconciliation with the dopamine hypothesis of addiction
Cocaine is known to increase brain dopamine at supranormal levels in comparison to alternative nondrug rewards. According to the dopamine hypothesis of addiction, this abnormally large dopamine response would explain why cocaine use is initially...
The Kamin Blocking Effect in Sign and Goal Trackers
The discovery of the Kamin blocking effect suggested that surprise or prediction errors are necessary for associative learning. This suggestion led to the development of a new theoretical framework for associative learning relying on prediction...
Revisiting David Bowie’s 'Low' (1977) | Retrospective Tribute
An anomalous song suite that defied the prototypical rock-pop album template, but its boldness is precisely what makes 'Low' such a fascinating listen.
How researchers overturned US sanctions on a virtual summer school
US rules forced an online neuroscience course to block people in Iran from signing up, but the organizers won a last-minute reprieve.
Biased belief updating and suboptimal choice in foraging decisions
In some types of decision-making, people must accept or forego an option without knowing what prospects might later be available. Here, the authors reveal how a key bias– asymmetric learning from negative versus positive outcomes – emerges in this...
Georgia student suspended after posting a photo of a crowded school hallway says it was 'good and necessary trouble'
A viral photo showing students in a Georgia high school crowded in hallways and with few visible masks resulted in the sophomore who posted it being suspended, she said.
Suppress me if you can: neurofeedback of the readiness potential
Voluntary movements are usually preceded by a slow, negative-going brain signal over motor areas, the so-called readiness potential (RP). To date, the exact nature and causal role of the RP in movement preparation have remained heavily debated. One...
Op-Ed: Older people spread more fake news, a deadly habit in the COVID-19 pandemic
Cognitive decline doesn't fully explain why older adults click share. Social changes and digital illiteracy also play a role.
Adolescent frontal top-down neurons receive heightened local drive to establish adult attentional behavior in mice
Frontal top-down cortical neurons implement top-down attentional control of sensory regions. The authors reveal adolescence as a developmental stage when frontal top-down neurons projecting from the anterior cingulate to visual cortex are...
One in Three Americans Would Not Get COVID-19 Vaccine
About two-thirds of Americans say they would agree to get vaccinated with a free, FDA-approved coronavirus vaccine if one were available; one-third would not.
Astrocytes contribute to remote memory formation by modulating hippocampal–cortical communication during learning
Kol et al. show that the foundation of remote memory is formed during acquisition by the massive recruitment of ACC-projecting CA1 neurons. Remote memory acquisition involves projection-specific effects of astrocytes on CA1-to-ACC neuronal...
Me first: Neural representations of fairness during three-party interactions
One hallmark of human morality is a deep sense of fairness. People are motivated by both self-interest and a concern for the welfare of others. Howeve…
