The proactive brain: using analogies and associations to generate predictions
- Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 11(7):280 - 289
, 2007
"... Rather than passively 'waiting' to be activated by sensations, it is proposed that the human brain is continuously busy generating predictions that approximate the relevant future. Building on previous work, this proposal posits that rudimentary information is extracted rapidly from the i ..."

associative activation. In memory, our experiences are represented in structures that cluster together related information. For example, objects that tend to appear together are linked on some level, and these representations include properties that are inherent to and typical of that same experience
The self-importance of moral identity
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
, 2002
"... Recent theorizing in moral psychology extends rationalist models by calling attention to social and cultural influences (J. Haidt, 2001). Six studies using adolescents, university students, and adults measured the associations among the self-importance of moral identity, moral cognitions, and behavi ..."

Mapping anatomical connectivity patterns of human cerebral cortex using in vivo diffusion tensor imaging tractography
- Cerebral Cortex
, 2009
"... Gaolang Gong and Yong He have contributed equally to this work The characterization of the topological architecture of complex networks underlying the structural and functional organization of the brain is a basic challenge in neuroscience. However, direct evidence for anatomical connectivity netwo ..."

Our results are compatible with previous structural and functional brain networks studies and provide insight into the organizational principles of human brain
Brain structure abnormalities in adolescent girls with conduct disorder
- Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry
, 2013
"... Background: Conduct disorder (CD) in female adolescents is associated with a range of negative out-comes, including teenage pregnancy and antisocial personality disorder. Although recent studies have documented changes in brain structure and function in male adolescents with CD, there have been no n ..."

Adipose tissue. Morphological changes associated with lipid mobilization
- J. Cell Biol
"... Morphological changes associated with mobilization of lipid were studied in epididymal adipose tissue from fasted and from alloxan diabetic rats. In both groups of animals a decrease in lipid content was accompanied by the formation of complex frond-like cytoplasmic processes and of loops and folds ..."

The Influence of Sex Steroids on Structural Brain Maturation in Adolescence
, 2013
"... Puberty reflects a period of hormonal changes, physical maturation and structural brain reorganization. However, little attention has been paid to what extent sex steroids and pituitary hormones are associated with the refinement of brain maturation across adolescent development. Here we used high-r ..."

Small-world properties of nonlinear brain activity in schizophrenia
- Hum. Brain Mapp
, 2009
"... Abstract: A disturbance in the interactions between distributed cortical regions may underlie the cogni-tive and perceptual dysfunction associated with schizophrenia. In this article, nonlinear measures of cortical interactions and graph-theoretical metrics of network topography are combined to inve ..."

The graphs of both groups exhibited high levels of local clustering combined with comparatively short path lengths—features consistent with a ‘‘small-world’ ’ topology—as well
A meta-analytic review of obesity prevention programs for children and adolescents: The skinny on interventions that work.

"... This meta-analytic review summarizes obesity prevention programs and their effects and investigates participant, intervention, delivery, and design features associated with larger effects. A literature search identified 64 prevention programs seeking to produce weight gain prevention effects, of wh ..."

A functional approach to the assessment of self-mutilative behavior
- Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology
, 2004
"... This study applied a functional approach to the assessment of self-mutilative behavior (SMB) among adolescent psychiatric inpatients. On the basis of past conceptualizations of different forms of self-injurious behavior, the authors hypothesized that SMB is performed because of the automatically rei ..."

Data were collected from 108 adolescent psychiatric inpatients referred for self-injurious thoughts
Association of Structural Global Brain Network Properties with Intelligence in Normal Aging
"... Higher general intelligence attenuates age-associated cognitive decline and the risk of dementia. Thus, intelligence has been associated with cognitive reserve or resilience in normal aging. Neurophysiologically, intelligence is considered as a complex capacity that is dependent on a global cognitiv ..."
