Sleep and memory are stable heritable traits that strongly differ between individuals. benefits consolidation, the amount of slow wave sleep, sleep spindles, rapid eye movement have been repeatedly identified as reliable predictors for declarative and/or emotional memories retrieved after a consolidation period filled with sleep. These studies typically encompass small sample sizes, increasing probability overestimating real association strength. In large we tested whether individual...
Extensive evidence indicates that women outperform men in episodic memory tasks. Furthermore, are known to evaluate emotional stimuli as more arousing than men. Because arousal typically increases formation, the females' advantage might be pronounced for emotionally information neutral information. Here, we report behavioral data from 3398 subjects, who performed picture rating and tasks, corresponding fMRI up 696 subjects. We were interested interaction between sex valence category on...
Abstract Cortisol is known to affect memory processes. On the one hand, stress-induced or pharmacologically induced elevations of cortisol levels enhance consolidation. other such experimentally have been shown impair retrieval. However, effects individual differences in basal on processes remain largely unknown. Here we tested whether predict picture learning and recall a large sample. A total 1225 healthy young women men viewed two different sets emotional neutral pictures consecutive...
Human episodic memory performance is linked to the function of specific brain regions, including hippocampus; declines as a result increasing age; and markedly disturbed in Alzheimer disease (AD), an age-associated neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects hippocampus. Exploring molecular underpinnings human key understanding hippocampus-dependent cognitive physiology pathophysiology.
Abstract Dysregulation of emotional arousal is observed in many psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia, mood and anxiety disorders. The neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2 gene ( NTRK2 ) has been associated with these Here we investigated the relation between genetic variability healthy young subjects two independent samples n 1 =1171; =707). In addition, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data a subgroup 342 participants were used to identify -related white-matter structure...
Perception of emotional valence and memory performance vary across the menstrual cycle. However, consequences altered ovarian hormone levels due to intake hormonal contraceptives on these cognitive processes remain be established. In present study, which included 2169 healthy young females, we show that (HC) users rated pictures as more than HC-non-users outperformed non-users in terms better recall pictures. The observed association between HC-status was partially mediated by perception...
DNA methylation represents an important link between structural genetic variation and complex phenotypes. The study of genome-wide CpG its relation to traits relevant psychiatry has become increasingly important. Here, we analyzed quality metrics 394,043 sites in two samples 568 319 mentally healthy young adults. For 25% all CpGs observed medium large common epigenetic variation. These were overrepresented open sea shore regions, as well intergenic regions. They also showed a strong...
Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) is an established method for assessing grey matter volumes across the brain. The quality of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and chosen data preprocessing steps can affect outcome VBM analyses. We recognized a lack publicly available commonly used protocols, which indicates that standardized optimized protocols are needed. This paper focuses on time- resource-consuming manual correction misclassifications voxels in cortical structures important Alzheimer's...
