I kept my pregnancy to myself and did not share publicly or with clients. I just showed up to work pregnant and did my job just as well (sometimes better) than I did not pregnant. Pregnancy is the easiest part of navigating life as a freelancer (I told clients on a need-to-know ba...
Working memory (WM) is a fundamental cognitive function that typically declines with age. Previous studies have shown that targeted WM training has the potential to improve WM performance in older adults. In the present study, we investigated whether a multi-domain cognitive training program that wa...
Overloading the working memory system was associated with varying degrees of subsequent decline in performance accuracy and reduced activation of brain regions central to both task performance and suppression of negative affect. The degree of performance decline was independently predicted by three ...
A list has three commercial sponsors, each of whom are provided with an advertisement every three days. (Note that this doesn’t take weekends into account; in this example, if company A is featured in the banner on Monday, it will be featured again on Thursday and then again on Sunday....
The implants and optical windows for two-photon microscopy in awake monkeys are bulky and short WD objectives can collide with them and reduce the volume of tissue that is optically accessible. Thus, a long WD objective can be beneficial. Additionally, monkeys can perform tasks more reliably for...
Patients with large lesions localized to the lateral PFC showed no deficits on tests of verbal and memory span or delayed recognition (D'Esposito and Postle, 1999). A similar result was found in monkeys with lesions of the ventral PFC (Rushworth et al., 1997). In...
Analytical Characteristics of Commercial Cardiac Troponin I and T Immunoassays, in Serum from Rats, Dogs, and Monkeys with Induced Acute Myocardial Injury Information is needed regarding analytical characteristics of cardiac troponin (cTn) assays used in preclinical studies. We measured cTnI and cTnT in...
The thing about the monkey park is although it certainly feels very touristy you still get to have a ‘real’ experience of seeing the monkeys as they act as if nobody's watching, often passing by humans without stopping to look to go off and see other monkeys. In the morning of the ...
Adult Artemia are also sold under the name of Sea Monkeys, or Fairy Shrimp. For further information see http://www.captain.at/artemia/. Bacteria Extremely small—usually 0.3 to 2.0 micrometers in diameter—and relatively simple microorganisms possessing the prokaryotic type of cell construction. ...
Visual working memory (vWM) plays a crucial role in visual information processing and higher cognitive functions; however, it has a very limited capacity. Recently, several studies have successfully modulated vWM capacity in humans using entrainment with transcranial alternate current stimulation (tACS)...
