Excessive response-repetition costs under task switching: how response inhibition amplifies response conflict.
The size of response-repetition (RR) costs, which are usually observed on task-switch trials, strongly varies between conditions with univalent and bivalent stimuli. To test whether top-down or bottom-up processes can account for this effect, we assessed in Experiment 1 baselines for univalent and bivalent stimulus conditions (i.e., for stimuli that are associated with either 1 or 2 tasks). Exp...
متن کاملHYPEREKPLEXIAAND EXCESSIVE STARTLE RESPONSE IN AN INFANT: A CASE REPORT
We present an infant girl with hyperekplexia, hypertonia, hyperreflexia and a characteristic exaggerated response to nose tap. This disorder is important to recognize because of the increased risk of apnea and sudden infant death, This infant responded to clonazepam.
متن کاملReducing excessive GABA-mediated tonic inhibition promotes functional recovery after stroke
Stroke is a leading cause of disability, but no pharmacological therapy is currently available for promoting recovery. The brain region adjacent to stroke damage—the peri-infarct zone—is critical for rehabilitation, as it shows heightened neuroplasticity, allowing sensorimotor functions to re-map from damaged areas. Thus, understanding the neuronal properties constraining this plasticity is imp...
متن کاملExcessive heart rate response to orthostatic stress in postural tachycardia syndrome is not caused by anxiety.
Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by excessive increases in heart rate (HR) without hypotension during orthostasis. The relationship between the tachycardia and anxiety is uncertain. Therefore, we tested whether the HR response to orthostatic stress in POTS is primarily related to psychological factors. POTS patients (n = 14) and healthy controls (n = 10) underwent graded ve...
متن کاملThe impact of induced anxiety on response inhibition
Anxiety has wide reaching effects on cognition; evidenced most prominently by the "difficulties concentrating" seen in anxiety disorders, and by adaptive harm-avoidant behaviors adopted under threatening circumstances. Despite having critical implications for daily-living, the precise impact of anxiety on cognition is as yet poorly quantified. Here we attempt to clarify the impact of anxiety on...
