Certain bacteria can produce gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) from glutamate in the human intestinal tract, leading to possibility of altering GABA levels through diet. To this end, we assessed ability seven commercially available probiotic supplements GABA.Probiotic strains were compared for production pure culture. The inoculated at a concentration 107 CFU ml-1 10 ml MRS supplemented with monosodium (1% w/v), both and without oligofructose-enriched inulin (OFI) w/v). Two highest further 48 h...
Abstract Background Uncertainty-related distress is considered a hallmark of anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD). Previous research in community samples has demonstrated that individuals with high Intolerance Uncertainty (IU), the tendency to find uncertainty aversive, display altered threat extinction learning retention. Methods Here, we conducted an exploratory secondary analysis existing dataset (Steinman et al., 2022) examine extent which IU clinical sample OCD predicts...
Previous research has demonstrated that individuals with high levels of Intolerance Uncertainty (IU) have difficulty updating threat associations to safety associations. Notably, prior focused on measuring IU-related differences in and learning using arousal-based measures such as skin conductance response. Here we assessed whether could be captured eye-tracking metrics linked gaze behaviours dwelling scanning. Participants (N = 144) completed self-report questionnaires assessing IU trait...
Abstract Identifying and responding adaptively to a change in our environment is an essential skill. However, differences ability detect disposition react these changes mean that some individuals are better equipped deal with than others. Here, we investigate whether intolerance of uncertainty, transdiagnostic dimension psychopathology, associated performance during reversal learning task. We assessed task 145 subjects using behavioural measures computational modelling across two time points...
