Watching a speaker’s lips during face-to-face conversation (lipreading) markedly improves speech perception, particularly in noisy conditions. With functional magnetic resonance imaging it was found that these linguistic visual cues are sufficient to activate auditory cortex normal hearing individuals the absence of sounds. Two further experiments suggest cortical areas not engaged when an individual is viewing nonlinguistic facial movements but appear be activated by silent meaningless...
Brain activity in humans telling lies has yet to be elucidated. We developed an objective approach its investigation, utilizing a computer-based interrogation and fMRI. Interrogatory questions probed recent episodic memory 30 volunteers studied outside 10 inside the MR scanner. In counter-balanced design subjects answered specified both truthfully with lies. Lying was associated longer response times (p < 0.001) greater bilateral ventrolateral prefrontal cortices 0.05, corrected). These...
Care and outcomes for people with schizophrenia have improved in recent years, but further progress is needed to help more individuals achieve an independent fulfilled life. This report sets out the current need, informs policy makers all relevant stakeholders who influence care quality, supports their commitment creating a better future. The authors recommend following actions, based on research evidence, stakeholder consultation, examples of best practice worldwide. (1) Provide...
OBJECTIVE: The authors explored whether abnormal functional lateralization of temporal cortical language areas in schizophrenia was associated with a predisposition to auditory hallucinations and the hallucinatory state would reduce response external speech. METHOD: Functional magnetic resonance imaging used measure blood-oxygenation-level-dependent signal induced by perception speech three groups male subjects: eight schizophrenic patients history (trait-positive), none whom currently...
Previous functional brain imaging studies suggest that the ability to infer intentions and mental states of others (social cognition) is mediated by medial prefrontal cortex. Little known about anatomy empathy forgiveness. We used MRI detect regions engaged judging others’ emotional forgivability their crimes. Ten volunteers read made judgements based on social scenarios a high level baseline task reasoning). Both empathic activated left superior frontal gyrus, orbitofrontal gyrus precuneus....
Thinning of the corpus callosum (CC) is often observed in individuals who were born very preterm. Damage to CC during neurodevelopment may be associated with poor neuropsychological performance. This study aimed explore any evidence pathology adolescents aged 14-15 years preterm, and investigate relationship between areas verbal skills. Seventy-two before 33 weeks gestation 51 age- sex-matched full-term controls received structural MRI assessment. Total area preterm was 7.5% smaller than...
The recent drive within the UK National Health Service to improve psychosocial care for people with mental illness is both understandable and welcome: evidence-based psychological social interventions are extremely important in managing psychiatric illness. Nevertheless, accompanying downgrading of medical aspects has resulted services that often better suited offering non-specific support, rather than thorough, broad-based diagnostic assessment leading specific treatments optimise...
Individuals reporting persistent psychotic experiences (PEs) in the general population, but without a “need for care”, are unique group of particular importance identifying risk and protective factors psychosis. We compared people with PEs no care” (non‐clinical, N=92) patients diagnosed disorder (clinical, N=84) controls (N=83), terms their phenomenological, socio‐demographic psychological features. The 259 participants were recruited from one urban rural area UK, as part UNIQUE (Unusual...
Several studies have investigated the neural basis of effortful emotion regulation (ER) but automatic ER has been less comprehensively explored. The present study supported by 'implementation intentions'. 40 healthy participants underwent fMRI while viewing emotion-eliciting images and used either a previously-taught strategy, in form goal intention (e.g., try to take detached perspective), or more an implementation "If I see something disgusting, then will think these are just pixels on...
