The effects of the activation of hostile and non-hostile schemas on intent attribution processes in non-aggressive individuals: An ERP study.
We investigated the influences of hostile and non-hostile schemas activations in non-aggressive individuals on their intent attribution processes in various social contexts. 38 non-aggressive participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups, one primed with negative words, to be conditioned as temporarily hosti...

Sensitivity to pain expectations: A Bayesian model of individual differences.
The thoughts and feelings people have about pain (referred to as 'pain expectations') are known to alter the perception of pain. However little is known about the cognitive processes that underpin pain expectations, or what drives the differing effect that pain expectations have between individuals. This paper details ...

Spatiotemporally tracking of nano-biofilaments inside the nuclear pore complex core.
Nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a gating nanomachine with a central selective barrier composed mainly of Nups, which contain intrinsically disordered (non-structured) regions (IDRs) with phenylalanine-glycine (FG) motifs (FG-NUPs). The NPC central FG network dynamics is poorly understood, as FG-NUPs liquid-liquid phase s...

Role of orexin receptors within the dentate gyrus in antinociception induced by chemical stimulation of the lateral hypothalamus in an animal model of inflammatory pain.
Pain is a complex experience consisting of sensory, affective-motivational, and cognitive dimensions. Hence, identifying the multiple neural pathways subserving these functional aspects is a valuable task. The role of dentate gyrus (DG) as a relay station of neocortical afferents in the hippocampal formation (HF) in pe...

Arterial spin labeling-MR may be an alternative to SPECT for evaluating cerebral perfusion in patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery stenosis.
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) mapping of single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) is considered a gold standard for evaluating cerebral perfusion. However, invasiveness, high costs and strict technical requirements can limit its clinical use. We aimed to evaluate the concordance of CBF maps obtained from SPECT and pseudo-...

BCCIP is required for nucleolar recruitment of eIF6 and 12S pre-rRNA production during 60S ribosome biogenesis.
Ribosome biogenesis is a fundamental process required for cell proliferation. Although evolutionally conserved, the mammalian ribosome assembly system is more complex than in yeasts. BCCIP was originally identified as a BRCA2 and p21 interacting protein. A partial loss of BCCIP function was sufficient to trigger genomi...

Hoerl & McCormack propose that animals learn sequences through an entrainment-like process, rather than tracking the temporal addresses of each event in a given sequence. However, past research suggests that animals form "temporal maps" of sequential events and also comprehend the concept of ordinal position. These fin...

Sleep and Orofacial Pain.
Sleep and pain share a bidirectional relationship. Therefore, it is important for practitioners managing patients experiencing either sleep and/or pain issues to recognize and understand this complex association from a neurobiological perspective involving neuroanatomic and neurochemical processes. Accounting for the i...

Protocol for a single patient therapy plan: A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled N-of-1 trial to assess the efficacy of cannabidiol in patients with intractable epilepsy.
This paper describes the use of the single patient therapy plan (SPTP). The SPTP has been designed to assess the efficacy at an individual level of a commercially available cannabinoid product, cannabidiol, in reducing seizure frequency in paediatric patients with intractable epilepsy.

Luminance contrast has little influence on the spread of object-based attention.
We direct our attention to those visual stimuli that are relevant to our behavioral goals. Some of the visual stimuli that surround us are represented more strongly, because they have a higher luminance contrast. However, selective attention also boosts the representation of visual stimuli. It is not yet well understoo...

Affective temperaments and childhood-trauma experiences are associated with major depressive disorder (MDD). So far, how the covariation between distinct affective temperaments and childhood-trauma insulted brain functional connectivities (FCs) contribute to MDD remains unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate whether ce...

Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Expression is Enhanced by Ischemia and Tissue Plasminogen Activator and Induces Hemorrhage, Disability and Mortality in Experimental Stroke.
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) degrades collagen and other cellular matrix proteins. After acute ischemic stroke, increased MMP-9 levels are correlated with hemorrhage, lack of reperfusion and stroke severity. Nevertheless, definitive data that MMP-9 itself causes poor outcomes in ischemic stroke are limited. In a ...

Glutamatergic and GABAergic reactivity and cognition in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and healthy volunteers: A randomized double-blind 7-Tesla pharmacological MRS study.
22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is associated with impaired cognitive functioning. Glutamatergic pathways have been linked with cognition and are hypothesized to be disrupted in 22q11.2DS patients, possibly 'shifting' the excitatory (glutamate)/inhibitory (GABA) balance. Hence, the glutamate/GABA balance may cons...

Although we fundamentally agree with Schilbach et al., we argue here that there is still some residual utility for non-interactive scenarios in social neuroscience. They may be useful to quantify individual differences in prosocial inclination that are not influenced by concerns about reputation or social pressure.
