An Exploratory Investigation of Goal Management Training in Adults With ADHD: Improvements in Inhibition and Everyday Functioning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are predominantly treated with medication. However, there is also a need for effective, psychologically based interventions. As ADHD is strongly ... -
Being the Instrument of Change : Staff Experiences in Developing Trauma-informed Practice in a Norwegian Child Welfare Residential Care Unit
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-12-03)The overall aim of this project is to contribute to the development of interventions that benefit children and adolescents in residential care. Research shows that this is a particularly vulnerable population, typically ... -
Suppression, Maintenance, and Surprise: Neuronal Correlates of Predictive Processing Specialization for Musical Rhythm
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Auditory repetition suppression and omission activation are opposite neural phenomena and manifestations of principles of predictive processing. Repetition suppression describes the temporal decrease in neural activity ... -
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. ... -
Den norske versjonen av setningsrepetisjonstesten Language Impairment Testing In A Multilingual Setting (LITMUS): en kvalitativ feilanalyse
(Master thesis, 2020-11-30)Sammendrag Gjennom samarbeidet Language Impairment Testing in a Multilingual Setting (LITMUS) har en rekke forskere i Europa utviklet en setningsrepetisjonstest (SR) som har til hensikt å kunne utrede utviklingsmessige ... -
The Impact of Sexualized Video Game Content and Cognitive Load on State Rape Myth Acceptance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The potential negative impact of sexualized video games on attitudes toward women is an important issue. Studies that have examined this issue are rare and contain a number of limitations. Therefore, it largely remains ... -
Olfactory hallucinations in a population-based sample
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Olfactory hallucinations referring to olfactory perceptions in the absence of chemical stimuli, occur in non-clinical and clinical populations. Few studies have investigated their prevalence in the general population and ... -
Cognitive change and antipsychotic medications: Results from a pragmatic rater-blind RCT
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Cognitive impairment is a core aspect of psychotic disorders and difficult to treat. Atypical antipsychotics (AAs) might have differential effects on cognitive impairment, but rigid study designs and selective sampling ... -
Comparison of Multivendor Single-Voxel MR Spectroscopy Data Acquired in Healthy Brain at 26 Sites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: The hardware and software differences between MR vendors and individual sites influence the quantification of MR spectroscopy data. An analysis of a large data set may help to better understand sources of the ... -
Correlates of Hallucinatory Experiences in the General Population: An International Multisite Replication Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Hallucinatory experiences can occur in both clinical and nonclinical groups. However, in previous studies of the general population, investigations of the cognitive mechanisms underlying hallucinatory experiences have ... -
In the twilight zone: An epidemiological study of sleep-related hallucinations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Few studies have investigated hallucinations that occur at the onset/offset of sleep (called hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations; HHHs), despite the fact that their prevalence in the general population is ... -
Glutamate- and GABA-Modulated Connectivity in Auditory Hallucinations—A Combined Resting State fMRI and MR Spectroscopy Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) have been linked to aberrant interhemispheric connectivity between the left and the right superior temporal gyrus (STG), labeled the interhemispheric miscommunication theory. ... -
Simultaneous Measurement of the BOLD Effect and Metabolic Changes in Response to Visual Stimulation Using the MEGA-PRESS Sequence at 3 T
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) effect that provides the contrast in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been demonstrated to affect the linewidth of spectral peaks as measured with magnetic resonance ... -
Shift in Food Intake and Changes in Metabolic Regulation and Gene Expression during Simulated Night-Shift Work: A Rat Model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Night-shift work is linked to a shift in food intake toward the normal sleeping period, and to metabolic disturbance. We applied a rat model of night-shift work to assess the immediate effects of such a shift in food intake ... -
Repetitive Religious Chanting Invokes Positive Emotional Schema to Counterbalance Fear: A Multi-Modal Functional and Structural MRI Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Introduction: During hard times, religious chanting/praying is widely practiced to cope with negative or stressful emotions. While the underlying neural mechanism has not been investigated to a sufficient extent. A previous ... -
Lower Cardiac Vagal Activity Predicts Self-Reported Difficulties With Emotion Regulation in Adolescents With ADHD
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objective: To investigate the relation between cardiac vagal activity (CVA), a measure of autonomic nervous system (ANS) flexibility, and self-reported emotion regulation (ER) difficulties in adolescents with attention-d ... -
Can we predict real-time fMRI neurofeedback learning success from pretraining brain activity?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Neurofeedback training has been shown to influence behavior in healthy participants as well as to alleviate clinical symptoms in neurological, psychosomatic, and psychiatric patient populations. However, many real-time ... -
Cognitive and MRI trajectories for prediction of Alzheimer’s disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The concept of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is used to describe the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and identification and treatment before further decline is an important clinical task. We selected longitudinal ... -
A coordinate-based meta-analysis of music-evoked emotions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Since the publication of the first neuroscience study investigating emotion with music about two decades ago, the number of functional neuroimaging studies published on this topic has increased each year. This research ... -
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 ...
