Maternal Care and Individual Differences in Defensive Responses
Familial transmission of mental illness is common. Recent studies in behavioral neuroscience and biological psychiatry reveal the importance of epigenetic mechanisms of transmission that center on the developmental consequences of variations in parental care. Studies with rats suggest that environmental adversity results in patterns of parent–offspring interactions that increase stress reactivi...
متن کاملIndividual Differences Reveal the Basis of Consonance
Some combinations of musical notes are consonant (pleasant), whereas others are dissonant (unpleasant), a distinction central to music. Explanations of consonance in terms of acoustics, auditory neuroscience, and enculturation have been debated for centuries. We utilized individual differences to distinguish the candidate theories. We measured preferences for musical chords as well as nonmusica...
متن کامل'Special cases': neural mechanisms and individual differences in synaesthesia.
The healthy ‘special case’ in neuropsychology! Synaesthesia (Galton, 1883) is a condition in which a particular stimulus (e.g., seeing the letter R) evokes a particular additional sensation (e.g., a deep purple colour). Synaesthesia is automatic in the sense that the cross-sensations are fast and seemingly effortless, and highly consistent as the same associations persist from early childhood. ...
متن کاملNeural Mechanisms, Temporal Dynamics, and Individual Differences in Interference Control
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methods may help in understanding processes of response capture and response inhibition in conflict tasks, such as the Simon task. However, data-driven approaches thus far have not yielded consistent insights into these processes. Here, a theory-driven approach is introduced that capitalizes on individual differences in the processes of central inter...
متن کاملIndividual Differences in Activation of the Parental Care Motivational System: An Empirical Distinction Between Protection and Nurturance
Previous research reveals that individual differences in parental caregiving motives have implications (among both parents and nonparents) for a wide range of psychological outcomes. Here we report reanalyses of existing data sets to examine the extent to which these outcomes are uniquely predicted by two conceptually distinct factors underlying the parental caregiving motive: protection and nu...
