Does a single exposure to social defeat render rats more vulnerable to chemically induced colitis than brief inescapable foot-shocks?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)All mammals are to different degrees exposed to stressors being physical or social, which may affect health and well-being. Stressful and traumatic situations have direct effects on immune responses that may alter ... -
Dynamic up- and down-regulation of thedefault (DMN) and extrinsic (EMN) modenetworks during alternating task-on and task-offperiods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Using fMRI, Hugdahl et al. (2015) reported the existence of a general-domain cortical network during active task-processing which was non-specific to the cognitive task being processed. They labelled this network the ... -
Lateral ventricle volume trajectories predict response inhibition in older age-A longitudinal brain imaging and machine learning approach.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-02)Objective In a three-wave 6 yrs longitudinal study we investigated if the expansion of lateral ventricle (LV) volumes (regarded as a proxy for brain tissue loss) predicts third wave performance on a test of response ... -
An optimal dichotic-listening paradigm for the assessment of hemispheric dominance for speech processing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Dichotic-listening paradigms are widely accepted as non-invasive tests of hemispheric dominance for language processing and represent a standard diagnostic tool for the assessment of developmental auditory and language ... -
Quantifying auditory impressions in dreams in order to assess the relevance of dreaming as a model for psychosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A long noted hypothesis is that mechanisms of dreaming play a role in psychotic hallucinations. One challenge for this hypothesis is that while psychotic hallucinations primarily are auditory, dreaming most characteristically ... -
Sensorimotor synchronization to music reduces pain
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-28)Pain-reducing effects of music listening are well-established, but the effects are small and their clinical relevance questionable. Recent theoretical advances, however, have proposed that synchronizing to music, such as ... -
Study protocol for the Alzheimer and music therapy study: An RCT to compare the efficacy of music therapy and physical activity on brain plasticity, depressive symptoms, and cognitive decline, in a population with and at risk for Alzheimer's disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background There is anecdotal evidence for beneficial effects of music therapy in patients with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). However, there is a lack of rigorous research investigating this issue. The aim of this study is to ... -
Subjective judgments of rhythmic complexity in Parkinson's disease: Higher baseline, preserved relative ability, and modulated by tempo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-03)Previous research has demonstrated that people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have difficulties with the perceptual discrimination of rhythms, relative to healthy controls. It is not however clear if this applies only to ... -
Tracing back variations in archaeal ESCRT-based cell division to protein domain architectures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT) system is a multi-protein machinery that is involved in cell division of both Eukaryotes and Archaea. This spread across domains of life suggests that a precursor ... -
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) enhances internal source monitoring abilities in healthy participants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-16)Source monitoring refers to the ability to identify the origin of a memory, for example, whether you remember saying something or thinking about it, and confusions of these sources have been associated with the experience ... -
Unpredictability of the “when” influences prediction error processing of the “what” and “where”
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The capability to establish accurate predictions is an integral part of learning. Whether predictions about different dimensions of a stimulus interact with each other, and whether such an interaction affects learning, has ...
