Negative valence of hallucinatory voices as predictor of cortical glutamatergic metabolite levels in schizophrenia patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objectives Negative emotional valence of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) in schizophrenia can be a source of distress and is considered a strong predictor of illness severity. Previous studies have found glutamate ... -
Neocortical substrates of feelings evoked with music in the ACC, insula, and somatosensory cortex
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Neurobiological models of emotion focus traditionally on limbic/paralimbic regions as neural substrates of emotion generation, and insular cortex (in conjunction with isocortical anterior cingulate cortex, ACC) as the ... -
A network module for the perseus software for computational proteomics facilitates proteome interaction graph analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-01)Proteomics data analysis strongly benefits from not studying single proteins in isolation but taking their multivariate interdependence into account. We introduce PerseusNet, the new Perseus network module for the biological ... -
Neural activation in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex precedes conscious experience of being in or out of a transient hallucinatory state
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background and Hypotheses Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) is not only a common symptom in schizophrenia but also observed in individuals in the general population. Despite extensive research, AVHs are poorly understood, ... -
The neural correlates of sex differences in left-right confusion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03-14)Difficulties in left–right discrimination (LRD) are commonly experienced in everyday life situations. Here we investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms of LRD and the specific role of left angular gyrus. Given that previous ... -
Neural plasticity in functional and anatomical MRI studies of children with Tourette syndrome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Background: Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder with childhood onset characterized by chronic motor and vocal tics. The typical clinical course of an attenuation of symptoms during adolescence in parallel ... -
Neurocognitive development after pediatric brain tumor - a longitudinal, retrospective cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Survivors of Pediatric Brain Tumors (PBTs) treated with cranial radiation therapy (CRT) often experience a decline in neurocognitive test scores. Less is known about the neurocognitive development of non-irradiated survivors ... -
Neurocognitive Development and Predictors of L1 and L2 Literacy Skills in Dyslexia: A Longitudinal Study of Children 5–11 Years Old
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-29)The aim of this study was to find valid neurocognitive precursors of literacy development in first language (L1, Norwegian) and second language (L2, English) in a group of children during their Pre-literacy, Emergent ... -
Neuronal underpinnings of stuttering
(Master thesis, 2016-05-24)Fluent speech production depends on robust connections between brain regions that are crucial for auditory processing, motor planning and execution. The ability of the speech apparatus to produce effortless, continuous and ... -
The neurophysiological correlates of religious chanting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-12)Despite extensive research on various types of meditation, research on the neural correlates of religious chanting is in a nascent stage. Using multi-modal electrophysiological and neuroimaging methods, we illustrate that ... -
Neuroplastic effects in patients with traumatic brain injury after music-supported therapy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Damage to the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) often occurs following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and can lead to complex behavioral changes, including difficulty with attention and concentration. We investigated the effects ... -
Neuropsychological functioning in a national cohort of severe traumatic brain injury: demographic and acute injury-related predictors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Objectives: To determine the rates of cognitive impairment 1 year after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to examine the influence of demographic, injury severity, rehabilitation, and subacute functional outcomes on ... -
New Approaches to the Use of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for Investigating the Pathophysiology of Auditory-Verbal Hallucinations
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-10-09)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be considered one of the most useful technological developments in the field of cognitive neuroscience. Above the ability to provide detailed anatomical images, MRI has afforded researchers ... -
No Effects of Anodal tDCS on Local GABA and Glx Levels in the Left Posterior Superior Temporal Gyrus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-08)A number of studies investigating the biological effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) have found that it may affect local levels of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), ... -
No escaping the rat race: simulated night shift work alters the time-of-day variation in BMAL1 translational activity in the prefrontal cortex
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10-04)Millions of people worldwide work during the night, resulting in disturbed circadian rhythms and sleep loss. This may cause deficits in cognitive functions, impaired alertness and increased risk of errors and accidents. ... -
No sex difference in an everyday multitasking paradigm
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03)According to popular beliefs and anecdotes, females best males when handling multiple tasks at the same time. However, there is relatively little empirical evidence as to whether there truly is a sex difference in multitasking ... -
Nondirective meditation activates brain areas associated with retrieval of memories and emotional processing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-26)Nondirective meditation techniques are practiced with a relaxed focus of attention that permits spontaneously occurring thoughts, images, sensations, memories, and emotions to emerge and pass freely, without any expectation ... -
Nonsocial cognitive underpinnings of theory of mind in schizophrenia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Social cognition is a mediator between nonsocial cognition and functional outcome in schizophrenia. However, the relationship between specific nonsocial cognitive and social cognitive domains is less clear. The aim of this ... -
Nordmenn i fengsel: Motiv for utdanning
(Opplæring innanforkriminalomsorga, Rapport 4/13, Research report, 2013)Training and education for those in prison constitutes an important but often neglected aspect of adult learning. A fundamental principle of Norwegian prison policy states that prisoners should have the same access to ... -
