Dopaminergic novelty detection and theta oscillations: Virtual reality‐based adaptive interventions for cognitive enhancement in aging

open access: yesIbrain, EarlyView.
Aging‐related cognitive decline is associated with reduced dopaminergic signaling and disrupted theta oscillations, which together impair novelty detection and memory formation. This review shows how VR environments can be used to deliver adaptive, novelty‐rich stimuli that engage dopaminergic circuits and entrain theta rhythms, thereby enhancing ...

Do Linking‐Expression Substitutions Mitigate Deterministic Interpretations of Genetic Information?

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is a common concern that broader audiences interpret scientific information about the genetic correlates and causes of complex human traits in an overly deterministic manner. A frequently proposed way to address this issue is to carefully select the linking expressions used to describe gene–trait relationships when communicating genetic ...
