Facing recovery: Emotional bias in working memory, rumination, relapse, and recurrence of major depression; an experimental paradigm conducted five years after first episode of major depression
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Identifying vulnerability factors for relapse of depression is essential in planning preventive interventions. Emotional face processing in major depression (MDD) shows promise as a potential cognitive marker for depression. ... -
Factors influencing employment after minor stroke and NSTEMI
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Aim: To study the effect of cognitive function, fatigue and emotional symptoms on employment after a minor ischemic stroke compared to non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Material and methods: We included ... -
Feasibility and Acceptability of Using a Mobile Phone App for Characterizing Auditory Verbal Hallucinations in Adolescents With Early-Onset Psychosis: Exploratory Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-14)Background: Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are the most frequent symptom in early-onset psychosis (EOP) and a risk factor for increased suicide attempts in adolescents. Increased knowledge of AVH characteristics can ... -
First-Episode Patients Report Cognitive Difficulties in Executive Functioning 1 Year After Initial Episode of Major Depressive Disorder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-31)Objective: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is associated with cognitive impairment in general, and Executive Functioning (EF) in particular, even in remitted phase of the disorder, suggesting residual cognitive symptoms. ... -
fMRI fluctuations within the language network are correlated with severity of hallucinatory symptoms in schizophrenia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Although schizophrenia (SZ) represents a complex multiform psychiatric disorder, one of its most striking symptoms are auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH). While the neurophysiological origin of this pervasive symptom has ... -
A follow-up study of first episode major depressive disorder. Impairment in inhibition and semantic fluency—potential predictors for relapse?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-09-13)The present study investigated the Executive Functions (EF) of inhibition, mental flexibility and phonemic and semantic fluency in a 1-year follow-up assessment of patients diagnosed with first episode Major Depressive ... -
Frequency drift in MR spectroscopy at 3T
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Purpose Heating of gradient coils and passive shim components is a common cause of instability in the B0 field, especially when gradient intensive sequences are used. The aim of the study was to set a benchmark for typical ... -
From core schemas about the self and others to voice phenomenology: Anxiety and depression affect voice hearers differently
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objectives Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) occur as a symptom in various mental disorders, and show different phenomenological aspects, depending on their underlying psychopathology. Anxiety and depression, which ... -
From observed laterality to latent hemispheric differences: Revisiting the inference problem
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Researchers interested in hemispheric dominance frequently aim to infer latent functional differences between the hemispheres from observed lateral behavioural or brain-activation differences. To be valid, these inferences ... -
Functional activity level reported by an informant is an early predictor of Alzheimer’s disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Loss of autonomy in day-to-day functioning is one of the feared outcomes of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and relatives may have been worried by subtle behavioral changes in ordinary life situations long before these ... -
The functional and structural asymmetries of the superior temporal sulcus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02)The superior temporal sulcus (STS) is an anatomical structure that increasingly interests researchers. This structure appears to receive multisensory input and is involved in several perceptual and cognitive core functions, ... -
Functional asymmetry and effective connectivity of the auditory system during speech perception is modulated by the place of articulation of the consonant – A 7 T fMRI study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06-11)To differentiate between stop-consonants, the auditory system has to detect subtle place of articulation (PoA) and voice-onset time (VOT) differences between stop-consonants. How this differential processing is represented ... -
Functional brain networks in the schizophrenia spectrum and bipolar disorder with psychosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Psychotic experiences have been proposed to lie on a spectrum, ranging from subclinical experiences to treatment-resistant schizophrenia. We aimed to characterize functional connectivity and brain network characteristics ... -
Functional changes in GABA and glutamate during motor learning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS) of GABA at 3 T poses additional challenges compared with fMRS of other metabolites because of the difficulties of measuring GABA levels; GABA is present in the brain at ... -
Functional connectome differences in individuals with hallucinations across the psychosis continuum
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Hallucinations may arise from an imbalance between sensory and higher cognitive brain regions, reflected by alterations in functional connectivity. It is unknown whether hallucinations across the psychosis continuum exhibit ... -
GABA, glutamatergic dynamics and BOLD contrast assessed concurrently using functional MRS during a cognitive task
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A recurring issue in functional neuroimaging is how to link task-driven haemodynamic blood oxygen level dependent functional MRI (BOLD-fMRI) responses to underlying neurochemistry at the synaptic level. Glutamate and ... -
Gender stereotypes and incremental beliefs in STEM and non-STEM students in three countries: relationships with performance in cognitive tasks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Women’s underrepresentation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) has been linked, among others, to gender stereotypes and ability-related beliefs as well as gender differences in specific cognitive ... -
Gender-stereotyping and cognitive sex differences in mixed- and same-sex groups
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06-13)Sex differences in specific cognitive abilities are well documented, but the biological, psychological, and sociocultural interactions that may underlie these differences are largely unknown. We examined within a biopsychosocial ... -
Genome-wide analyses of aggressiveness in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03-29)Aggressiveness is a behavioral trait that has the potential to be harmful to individuals and society. With an estimated heritability of about 40%, genetics is important in its development. We performed an exploratory ... -
Ghrelin is related to lower brain reward activation during touch
