Quantitative sensory testing and trigeminocervical reflex thresholds in a Warmblood gelding affected by trigeminal‐mediated headshaking

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Diagnosing trigeminal‐mediated headshaking (TMHS) in horses primarily depends on identifying characteristic clinical signs such as headshaking and nasal irritation, along with excluding non‐trigeminal causes through additional diagnostic techniques, primarily imaging. Aside from somatosensory evoked potentials, which require anaesthesia and are

Effects of social context information on neural face processing in youth with social anxiety disorder

open access: yesJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Social anxiety disorder (SAD) in youth is associated with significant psychosocial impairments; however, the cognitive and neural mechanisms that maintain it, particularly during childhood and adolescence, remain underexplored. Cognitive models emphasize the role of altered face processing, and neutral facial expressions may be perceived as ...
