Susceptibility to poor arguments: The interplay of cognitive sophistication and attitudes
This study examined how attitudes and aspects of cognitive sophistication, i.e., thinking styles and scientific literacy, relate to people's acceptance of poorly justified arguments (e.g., unwarranted appeals to naturalness) on controversial topics (e.g., genetically modified organisms (GMOs)). The participants were more accepting of poorly justified arguments that aligned with their attitudes compared to those that opposed their attitudes, and this was true regardless of one's thinking styles or level of scientific literacy. Still, most of the examined aspects of cognitive sophistication were also positively related to fa...

The IC87201 (a PSD95/nNOS Inhibitor) Attenuates Post- Stroke Injuries
Neurochem Res. 2024 Apr 24. doi: 10.1007/s11064-024-04140-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTN-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-dependent excitotoxicity is one of the most important mechanisms underlying stroke injury and the resulting neuronal death. In the present study, in order to reduce post-stroke brain injury and improve behavioral performance, a new molecule named IC87201, which acts as an inhibitor of PSD95/nNOS interaction in the intracellular signaling pathway of NMDA receptors, was administered. Using the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) technique, 24 adult male rats were subjected to one hour of cerebral ische...

Ictal Coprolalia: Three Cases with Nondominat Frontal Lobe Involvement and Review of the Literature
Conclusion: The rate of ictal coprolalia in the Turkish population is lower compared to other series. Our results are consistent with previous studies in which reported that male preponderance for ictal coprolalia and involvement of non-dominant frontal lobe.PMID:38656238 | DOI:10.1177/15500594241247108 (Source: Clinical EEG and Neuroscience)

Action Selection in Everyday Activities: The Opportunistic Planning Model
We present the Opportunistic Planning Model as an explanatory cognitive model, which instantiates these assumptions, and show that the model is able to generalize to new everyday tasks, outperforming machine learning models such as neural networks during generalization.PMID:38659094 | DOI:10.1111/cogs.13444 (Source: Cognitive Science)

Bayes Optimal Integration of Social and Endogenous Uncertainty in Numerosity Estimation
Cogn Sci. 2024 Apr;48(4):e13447. doi: 10.1111/cogs.13447.ABSTRACTOne of the most prominent social influences on human decision making is conformity, which is even more prominent when the perceptual information is ambiguous. The Bayes optimal solution to this problem entails weighting the relative reliability of cognitive information and perceptual signals in constructing the percept from self-sourced/endogenous and social sources, respectively. The current study investigated whether humans integrate the statistics (i.e., mean and variance) of endogenous perceptual and social information in a Bayes optimal way while estimat...

Forming Evaluations of Moral Character: How Are Multiple Pieces of Information Prioritized and Integrated?
Cogn Sci. 2024 Apr;48(4):e13443. doi: 10.1111/cogs.13443.ABSTRACTEvaluating other people's moral character is a crucial social cognitive task. However, the cognitive processes by which people seek out, prioritize, and integrate multiple pieces of character-relevant information have not been studied empirically. The first aim of this research was to examine which character traits are considered most important when forming an impression of a person's overall moral character. The second aim was to understand how differing levels of trait expression affect overall character judgments. Four preregistered studies and one supplem...

Pupils Dilate More to Harder Vocabulary Words than Easier Ones
Cogn Sci. 2024 Apr;48(4):e13446. doi: 10.1111/cogs.13446.ABSTRACTUnderstanding cognitive effort expended during assessments is essential to improving efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility within these assessments. Pupil dilation is commonly used as a psychophysiological measure of cognitive effort, yet research on its relationship with effort expended specifically during language processing is limited. The present study adds to and expands on this literature by investigating the relationships among pupil dilation, trial difficulty, and accuracy during a vocabulary test. Participants (n = 63, Mage = 19.25) completed a sub...

Equalizing transcallosal inhibition in the mouse anterior cingulate mitigates visuospatial neglect
Trends Neurosci. 2024 Apr 23:S0166-2236(24)00060-2. doi: 10.1016/j.tins.2024.04.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA recent study by Wang and colleagues disentangled a transcallosal inhibitory circuit in mouse anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which modulates excitatory ipsilateral tonus and contralateral inhibition by exciting contralateral parvalbumin-positive (PV+) interneurons. The authors conclude that the identified circuit mediates interhemispheric balance for visuospatial attention and provides top-down modulation of visual cortices.PMID:38658244 | DOI:10.1016/j.tins.2024.04.002 (Source: Trends in Neurosciences)

Beta: bursts of cognition
Trends Cogn Sci. 2024 Apr 18:S1364-6613(24)00077-9. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2024.03.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBeta oscillations are linked to the control of goal-directed processing of sensory information and the timing of motor output. Recent evidence demonstrates they are not sustained but organized into intermittent high-power bursts mediating timely functional inhibition. This implies there is a considerable moment-to-moment variation in the neural dynamics supporting cognition. Beta bursts thus offer new opportunities for studying how sensory inputs are selectively processed, reshaped by inhibitory cognitive oper...

Raising the Roof: Situating Verbs in Symbolic and Embodied Language Processing
Cogn Sci. 2024 Apr;48(4):e13442. doi: 10.1111/cogs.13442.ABSTRACTRecent investigations on how people derive meaning from language have focused on task-dependent shifts between two cognitive systems. The symbolic (amodal) system represents meaning as the statistical relationships between words. The embodied (modal) system represents meaning through neurocognitive simulation of perceptual or sensorimotor systems associated with a word's referent. A primary finding of literature in this field is that the embodied system is only dominant when a task necessitates it, but in certain paradigms, this has only been demonstrated usi...

Can structure predict function at individual level in the human connectome?
Brain Struct Funct. 2024 Apr 24. doi: 10.1007/s00429-024-02796-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeveral studies predicting Functional Connectivity (FC) from Structural Connectivity (SC) at individual level have been published in recent years, each promising increased performance and utility. We investigated three of these studies, analyzing whether the results truly represent a meaningful individual-level mapping from SC to FC. Using data from the Human Connectome Project shared accross the three studies, we constructed a predictor by averaging FC of training data and analyzed its performance in the same way. In each case,...
