A core role for cognitive processes in the acute onset and maintenance of post‐traumatic stress in children and adolescents
Post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common reaction to trauma in children and adolescents. While a significant minority of trauma‐exposed youth go on to have persistent PTSD, many youths who initially have a severe traumatic stress response undergo natural recovery. A recent study by Richard Meiser‐Stedman from the University of East Anglia and Tim Dalgleish from […]
Young people at risk of addiction show differences in key brain region
Young adults at risk of developing problems with addiction show key differences in an important region of the brain, according to an international team led by the University of Cambridge. The study, led by CBU’s Camilla Nord and colleagues from the Department of Psychiatry, adds further evidence to support the idea that an individual’s biological […]
It’s not just recall of specific memories that is important for mental health – difficulty moving between different memory types is associated with depression
Recent research has shown that the ability to remember specific, detailed memories of positive events may protect against the onset of depression. However, this new study led by MRC CBU’s Caitlin Hitchcock and Tim Dalgleish suggests that it’s not just specific, detailed memories that are important. Rather, the ability to flexibly move between specific representations […]
A review paper on Deep Neural Networks in Computational Neuroscience
The goal of computational neuroscience is to find mechanistic explanations of how the nervous system processes information to give rise to cognitive function and behaviour. At the heart of the field are its models, that is, mathematical and computational descriptions of the system being studied, which map sensory stimuli to neural responses and/or neural to […]
Lifebrain – Public lecture on healthy aging
Free public lecture of the Lifebrain Project A healthy brain is essential to enjoy a productive human life. How do our brains change across our lifespan? What is healthy ageing, and how do we encourage it? How can we maintain a healthy brain in older age? Brain health researchers will present some of their current […]
