The associations among sleep-related difficulties, anxiety, and error-related brain activity in youth
Biol Psychol. 2024 Apr 3:108790. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108790. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGiven the high prevalence of anxiety disorders and their associated impairment, elucidating neural mechanisms related to these disorders has been increasingly prioritized. The error-related negativity (ERN) has been identified as a neural marker that indexes risk for anxiety across development. The ERN seems to confer risk for developing anxiety, especially in the context of stressful life events. The present study sought to examine sleep-related difficulties as another stressful factor that might impact the ERN. In a sampl...

Training semantic long-term memory retrieval transfers to executive function and reading fluency
Biol Psychol. 2024 Mar 29;188:108789. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108789. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe retrieval of information from long-term memory is a fundamental cognitive ability, crucial for most aspects of successful human functioning. Whether and how long-term memory retrieval (LTMR) can be improved with training has clear societal importance but also theoretical value for furthering our understanding of underlying mechanisms. Here, we provide electrophysiological evidence for the plasticity of semantic LTMR. Thirty-five university students were randomly assigned to adaptive semantic LTMR training (using a ...

Does Artistic Training Affect Color Perception? A Study of ERPs and EROs in Experiencing Colors of Different Brightness
Biol Psychol. 2024 Mar 27:108787. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108787. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTColor is a visual cue that can convey emotions and attract attention, and there is no doubt that brightness is an important element of color differentiation. To examine the impact of art training on color perception, 44 participants were assigned to two groups-one for those with and one for those without art training-in an EEG experiment. While the participants had their electroencephalographic data recorded, they scored their emotional responses to color stimuli of different brightness levels based on the Munsell color sy...

Heart rate and heart rate variability in obsessive-compulsive disorder: Evidence from patients and unaffected first-degree relatives
Biol Psychol. 2024 Mar 24:108786. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108786. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAltered heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) are common observations in psychiatric disorders. Yet, few studies have examined these cardiac measures in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The current study aimed to investigate HR and HRV, indexed by the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) and further time domain indices, as putative biological characteristics of OCD. Electrocardiogram was recorded during a five-minute resting state. Group differences between patients with OCD (n = 96), healthy p...

Abnormally decreased functional connectivity of the right nucleus basalis of Meynert in Alzheimer's disease patients with depression symptoms
Biol Psychol. 2024 Mar 26;188:108785. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108785. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDysfunction of the basal forebrain is the main pathological feature in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of this study was to explore whether depressive symptoms cause changes in the functional network of the basal forebrain in AD patients. We collected MRI data from depressed AD patients (n = 24), nondepressed AD patients (n = 14) and healthy controls (n = 20). Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data and functional connectivity analysis were used to study the characteristics of the basal...

Multi-Algorithm Artifact Correction (MAAC) Procedure Part One: Algorithm and Example
Biol Psychol. 2024 Mar 16:108775. doi: 10.1016/j.biopsycho.2024.108775. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Multi-Algorithm Artifact Correction (MAAC) procedure is presented for electroencephalographic (EEG) data, as made freely available in the open-source EP Toolkit (Dien, 2010). First the major EEG artifact correction methods (regression, spatial filters, principal components analysis, and independent components analysis) are reviewed. Contrary to the dominant approach of picking one method that is thought to be most effective, this review concludes that none are globally superior, but rather each has strengths and weakne...
