Resting States Are Resting Traits – An fMRI Study of Sex Differences and Menstrual Cycle Effects in Resting State Cognitive Control Networks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07-24)To what degree resting state fMRI is stable or susceptible to internal mind states of the individual is currently an issue of debate. To address this issue, the present study focuses on sex differences and investigates ... -
Changes in hippocampal neurogenesis throughout early development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-01)Adult hippocampal neurogenesis drastically diminishes with age but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, age-related influences on the hippocampal early neuroprogenitor cell (NPC) pool was examined by quantifying ... -
Deep learning for neuroimaging: A validation study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-20)Deep learning methods have recently made notable advances in the tasks of classification and representation learning. These tasks are important for brain imaging and neuroscience discovery, making the methods attractive ... -
Occupational Status Is Compromised in Adults With ADHD and Psychometrically Defined Executive Function Deficits
(Journal article, 2014-09)Objective: Problems related to executive function (EF) are frequently reported in adults with ADHD. However, only a subgroup of patients show deficits on common neuropsychological tests designed to measure EF. We investigated ... -
Executive Functioning in adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): From basic mechanisms to functional outcome
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-09-18)Background Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by age inappropriate levels of hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity. A large proportion of children with ADHD have persisting symptoms into ... -
Alcohol and drug use among adolescents: and the co-occurrence of mental health problems. Ung@hordaland, a population-based study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-22)Objectives The use of alcohol and drugs is prevalent among adolescents, but too little is known about the association between debut of alcohol and drug use, problematic use and concurrent mental health. The aim of the study ... -
The human amygdala encodes value and space during decision making
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11-01)Valuable stimuli are invariably localized in space. While our knowledge regarding the neural networks supporting value assignment and comparisons is considerable, we lack a basic understanding of how the human brain ... -
Post-adolescent developmental changes in cortical complexity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11-27)Background: Post-adolescence is known to be a period of general maturation and development in the human brain. In brain imaging, volumetric and morphologic cortical grey-matter changes can easily be assessed, but the ... -
Does it Matter How We Pose the Question “How is Your Sense of Smell?”
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12)There is a rather large, and unfortunate, discrepancy in the outcome between self-reported and standardized assessment of olfactory function. Questions for self-evaluation are commonly used that provide no information of ... -
The early life condition: Importance for sleep, circadian rhythmicity, behaviour and response to later life challenges
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-12-09)Early life environment has a vast impact on development and adult functioning. Optimal brain development depends not only on genetic programming but also on specific external stimuli, where mother-infant relationships play ... -
Children with dyslexia show cortical hyperactivation in response to increasing literacy processing demands
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-22)This fMRI study aimed to examine how differences in literacy processing demands may affect cortical activation patterns in 11- to 12-year-old children with dyslexia as compared to children with typical reading skills. ... -
Assessing brain structural associations with working-memory related brain patterns in schizophrenia and healthy controls using linked independent component analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Schizophrenia (SZ) is a psychotic disorder with significant cognitive dysfunction. Abnormal brain activation during cognitive processing has been reported, both in task-positive and task-negative networks. Further, structural ... -
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 ... -
Maternal deprivation of Lewis rat pups increases the severity of experimental periodontitis in adulthood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background and Objective: Early life adverse events may influence susceptibility/resistance to chronic inflammatory diseases later in life by permanently dysregulating brain-controlled immune-regulatory systems. We have ... -
Social functioning and mental health in children: the influence of chronic illness and intellectual function
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-01-13)Chronic illness, and in particular neurodevelopmental disorders, are associated with an increased risk of mental health problems and social difficulties in children. Across the neurodevelopmental disorders, the presence ... -
Laterality across languages: Results from a global dichotic listening study using a smartphone application
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-14)Left-hemispheric language dominance has been suggested by observations in patients with brain damages as early as the 19th century, and has since been confirmed by modern behavioural and brain imaging techniques. Nevertheless, ... -
Executive Functioning in recurrent - and first episode Major Depressive Disorder: Longitudinal studies
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-02-26)Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is in the acute phase of illness often associated with neuropsychological impairment in a range of cognitive domains such as attention, memory, psychomotor speed and Executive Functioning ... -
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 ... -
