Mapping psychotic-like experiences: Results from an online survey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-02)Suggestions have been made that psychotic‐like experiences (PLEs), such as hallucinatory and delusional experiences, exist on a continuum from healthy individuals to patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. We used the ... -
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 ... -
Mental health services use predicted by number of mental health problems and gender in a total population study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)We examined the relationship between service use and the number of problem areas as reported by parents and teachers on questionnaires among children aged 7–9 years old in the Bergen Child Study, a total population study ... -
Moderne Helsebekymringer
(Master thesis, 2002)Objective: In a previous study in New Zealand, the newly developed Modern Health Worries Scale (MHW) was significantly correlated with Subjective Health Complaints (SHC) and health care utilization. The aim of the present ... -
MRI measures of brain volume and cortical complexity in clinical groups and during development
(Doctoral thesis, 2009-05-07)The complex structure of the surface of the brain might elude classical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods of characterization, when it comes to measures of surface irregularities. Such measures may be important when ... -
Multi-vendor standardized sequence for edited magnetic resonance spectroscopy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Spectral editing allows direct measurement of low-concentration metabolites, such as GABA, glutathione (GSH) and lactate (Lac), relevant for understanding brain (patho)physiology. The most widely used spectral editing ... -
The "myths" of low back pain: status quo in norwegian general practitioners and physiotherapists
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)Background. In 2001, several myths of low back pain still were alive in the general population in Norway, myths that were not in concordance with current guidelines. Objectives. To investigate perceptions about back pain ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ... -
