A snapshot of the hepatic transcriptome: ad libitum alcohol intake suppresses expression of cholesterol synthesis genes in alcohol-preferring (P) rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Research is uncovering the genetic and biochemical effects of consuming large quantities of alcohol. One prime example is the J- or U-shaped relationship between the levels of alcohol consumption and the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ...

Cognitive Dissonance and Affect: An Initial Test of a Connectionist Account
Psychologica Belgica, 2005 In their connectionist model of cognitive dissonance, Van Overwalle & Jordens (2002) put forward the hypothesis that positive affect increases behaviour-induced attitudes, while negative affect decreases attitudes.

International Review of Social Psychology, 2022 People experience stronger regret regarding negative outcomes resulting from more exceptional circumstances compared to routine. We hypothesized that the exceptionality-routine attribution asymmetry would extend to attributions of agency and moral ...

Reaction moments matter when designing lower-extremity robots for tripping recovery
PLoS ONE, 2023 Balance recovery after tripping often requires an active adaptation of foot placement. Thus far, few attempts have been made to actively assist forward foot placement for balance recovery employing wearable devices.

On the mathematics of the free-choice paradigm
, 2018 Chen and Risen pointed out a logical flaw affecting the conclusions of a number of past experiments that used the free-choice paradigm to measure choice-induced attitude change. They went on to design and implement a free-choice experiment that used a novel type of control group in order to avoid this logical pitfall.

The Joint Log-Lift Task: A Social Foraging Paradigm
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Behavioural cooperation is under intense research. Yet, popular experimental paradigms often employ artificial tasks, require training, or do not permit partner choice, possibly limiting their biological relevance. We developed the joint log-lift task, a

Stressing the importance of choice: Validity of a preclinical free‐choice high‐caloric diet paradigm to model behavioural, physiological and molecular adaptations during human diet‐induced obesity and metabolic dysfunction [PDF]
Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2019 AbstractHumans have engineered a dietary environment that has driven the global prevalence of obesity and several other chronic metabolic diseases to pandemic levels. To prevent or treat obesity and associated comorbidities, it is crucial that we understand how our dietary environment, especially in combination with a sedentary lifestyle and/or daily ...

When flexibility is stable: implicit long-term shaping of olfactory preferences.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Preferences are traditionally assumed to be stable. However, empirical evidence such as preference modulation following choices calls this assumption into question.

Effects of arm weight and target height on hand selection: A low-cost virtual reality paradigm.
PLoS ONE, 2019 We evaluated the ability of a virtual reality (VR) system to reliably detect the reaching frequency midline position of a user; the distinguishing plane between free-choice use of the left and right hand.
