Summarizing What Has Been Learned About Kawasaki Disease

What has been learned from computational models of attention

There are few fields where neurocomputational modelling 1 is as necessary as in that of attention — a multifaceted and 2 elusive process that is at the very core of cognition and con3 sciousness (James, 1890). While descriptive theories of at4 tentional functions, relying on a plethora of metaphors (spot5 light/zoomlens, increased-gain, biased-competition), abound, 6 computational models that a...

What has been learned about the cardiovascular effects of matrix metalloproteinases from mouse models?

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes responsible for extracellular protein degradation in the cardiovascular system. Originally known to play pivotal roles in tissue morphogenesis and wound healing, they have been shown to participate in the complex remodeling processes in blood vessels and the myocardium. The biological activity of MMPs is regulated at different...

Memory Training Interventions: What has been forgotten?

Memory training for older adults often produces gains that are limited to the particular memory tasks encountered during training. We suggest that memory training programs may be misguided by an implicit "generalist" assumption-memory training on a couple of memory tasks will have a positive benefit on memory ability in general. One approach to increase memory-training benefits is to target tra...

Family-Focused Substance Abuse Prevention: What Has Been Learned From Other Fields

Families are the primary institution for raising children who are the future of any society. Family socialization processes are the primary predictors of children's behavior. The importance of family risk and protective processes in the development of drug abuse and dependency is acknowledged in most empirically tested, multicausal etiological models of substance use (Ary et al., in press; Broo...
