Detecting Neuroimaging Biomarkers for Psychiatric Disorders: Sample Size Matters
In a recent review, it was suggested that much larger cohorts are needed to prove the diagnostic value of neuroimaging biomarkers in psychiatry. While within a sample, an increase of diagnostic accuracy of schizophrenia (SZ) with number of subjects (N) has been shown, the relationship between N and accuracy is completely different between studies. Using data from a recent meta-analysis of machi...
متن کاملWhy emotion matters
Although much is known about the representation and processing of concrete concepts, our knowledge of what abstract semantics might be is severely limited. In this paper we first address the adequacy of the two dominant accounts (dual coding theory and the context availability model) put forward in order to explain representation and processing differences between concrete and abstract words.

Driver distraction is estimated to be one of the leading causes of motor vehicle accidents. Roadside billboards containing negative and positive emotional content have been shown to influence driving behaviour by modulating attention; however, the impact of emotion-related auditory distraction on driving is relatively unknown. In the present study, we explored the behavioural and event-related ...
متن کاملSize matters
Charles Darwin when developing his theory of evolution. And a new study of work on the islands' marine iguanas may help throw some more light on the evolution of body size within these populations. Body size is one of the most important traits of organisms and allows predictions of an individual's morphology, physiology, behaviour and life history. However, explaining the evolution of such comp...
متن کاملIntermediate C9orf72 alleles in neurological disorders: does size really matter?
C9orf72 repeat expansions is a major cause of familial frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) worldwide. Sizes of <20 hexanucleotide repeats are observed in controls, while up to thousands associate with disease. Intermediate C9orf72 repeat lengths, however, remain uncertain. We systematically reviewed the role of intermediate C9orf72 alleles in C9orf72-related ne...
