The L108I polymorphism in mouse prion protein drives spontaneous disease and enhances transmission of atypical and classical prion strains

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
A single amino acid change (L108I) combined with PrP overexpression drives spontaneous atypical prion formation in mice, enabling also efficient propagation of diverse prion strains. This model allows studying how spontaneous prion diseases arise and provides powerful tools for investigating strain emergence, transmission barriers, and mechanisms ...

Increased neural responsiveness to distractors irrespective of perceptual load explains attention deficit in post‐stroke fatigue

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐stroke fatigue (PSF) is a prevalent symptom associated with attention deficits. However, it is currently unclear what drives these. Here we applied Load Theory of Attention to investigate the role of perceptual load in the relationship between attention, distraction and fatigue levels in PSF.

Virtual reality‐based reminiscence therapy for older adults to improve psychological well‐being and cognition: A systematic review

Journal of Clinical Nursing, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Virtual reality‐reminiscence therapy (VR‐RT) has increasingly been applied to older adults to improve psychological well‐being and cognition. Objective This review aims to identify (1) the design characteristics of conducting a VR‐RT and (2) the effects of VR‐RT on the user experience, cognitive outcomes and psychological well‐being.

The engaged action hypothesis: Explaining the merits of external focus cues

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
The attentional focus effect—the theory that focusing on the body during skilled tasks leads to suboptimal results relative to focusing externally—is well established, but it is not known why it holds. The most widely cited explanation is the constrained action hypothesis: Focusing on the body interferes with beneficial automatic motor programs.

Crossed hands strengthen and diversify proprioceptive drift in the self-touch illusion

Crossed hands strengthen and diversify proprioceptive drift in the self-touch illusion
In the self-touch illusion (STI), some can feel that both hands are touching each other even when they are separated actually. This is achieved by giving synchronized touches to both hands. Because the STI involves both hands (an administrating hand and a receptive hand) of a single person, two types of proprioceptive drifts (PDs) simultaneously occur ...

Optical, gravitational, and kinesthetic determinants of judged eye level [PDF]

Subjects judged eye level, defined in three distinct ways relative to three distinct reference planes: a gravitational horizontal, giving the gravitationally referenced eye level (GREL); a visible surface, giving the surface-referenced eye level (SREL ...

An Active Inference Model of Meter Perception and the Urge to Move to Music

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Prominent theories suggest that the urge to move along to rhythmic music is driven by precision‐weighted prediction errors. We operationalized this account as a Bayesian model which outputs surprisal as an index of prediction errors based on posterior probabilities calculated over metered and unmetered priors.

Optimization of photobiomodulation therapy for spinal cord injury: A review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in the red and near‐infrared range can significantly modulate the secondary injury response and promote the reparative and regenerative potential of neural tissue after spinal cord injury (SCI). At present, due to the nature of delivery methods, the most effective dose and irradiance at the injury site to optimize ...

Beyond the Adult Mind: A Developmental Framework for Predictive Processing in Infancy

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Predictive Processing has been proposed as the single unifying computation underlying all of cognition, and proponents argue that all psychological phenomena can be explained as consequences of this principle. This theoretical framework has inspired many cognitive scientists and neuroscientists, but it currently has no developmental mechanism ...
