Mashup Score: 27Raj Lab @ MSSM - 3 day(s) ago
The Raj Laboratory is dedicated to understanding the molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. To achieve these goals, we leverage the fields of genomics, computational biology, neuroscience, and immunology coupled with molecular biology to obtain a systems level understanding of disease. We are a hybrid lab with a strong computat ional biology that is mainly focused on performing data analyses and an

Mashup Score: 0Hostile Attribution Bias Shapes Neural Synchrony in the Left Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex during Ambiguous Social Narratives - 6 day(s) ago
Hostile attribution bias refers to the tendency to interpret social situations as intentionally hostile. While previous research has focused on its developmental origins and behavioral consequences, the underlying neural mechanisms remain underexplored. Here, we employed functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to investigate the neural correlates of hostile attribution bias. While undergoing fNIRS, male and female participants listened to and provided attribution ratings for 21 hypothetical scenarios where a character’s actions resulted in a negative outcome for the listener. Ratings of hostile intentions were averaged to measure hostile attribution bias. Using intersubject representational similarity analysis, we found that participants with similar levels of hostile attribution bias exhibited higher levels of neural synchrony during narrative listening, suggesting shared interpretations of the scenarios. This effect was localized to the left ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPF

Mashup Score: 31Welcome to the Monje Lab - 11 day(s) ago
Much of brain development occurs after birth. Maturation of complex neural circuitry necessary for high-level cognitive and motor functions occurs throughout childhood and young adulthood. Central to the process of developing or strengthening these functional neural circuits is the generation of new glial cells for neuronal support, synapse formation and myelination. In some brain regions, such as the hippocampus, new neuron production occurs throughout postnatal life and is believed to subserve normal

We are hard-wired to love sweets, but, as is so often the case, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing: overconsumption of sugar raises the risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other health conditions.
