- Everyday amnesia: Residual memory for high confidence misses and implications for decision models of recognitionby Christopher J Berry on April 25, 2024
Despite studying a list of items only minutes earlier, when reencountered in a recognition memory test, undergraduate participants often say with total confidence that they have not studied some of the items before. Such high confidence miss (HCM) responses have been taken as evidence of rapid and complete forgetting and of everyday amnesia (Roediger & Tekin, 2020). We investigated (a) if memory for HCMs is completely lost or whether a residual memory effect exists and (b) whether dominant...
- Peripherally-derived LGI1-reactive monoclonal antibodies cause epileptic seizures in vivoby Manoj Upadhya on April 25, 2024
One striking clinical hallmark in patients with autoantibodies to leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is the very frequent focal seizure semiologies, including faciobrachial dystonic seizures (FBDS), in addition to the amnesia. Polyclonal serum IgGs have successfully modelled the cognitive changes in vivo but not seizures. Hence, it remains unclear whether LGI1-autoantibodies are sufficient to cause seizures. We tested this with the molecularly precise monoclonal antibodies directed against...
- Age Suppresses the Association Between Traumatic Brain Injury Severity and Functional Outcomes: A Study Using the NIDILRR TBIMS Datasetby Laraine Winter on April 23, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Age at injury is a suppressor variable, masking the true effect of injury severity on functional outcomes. Identifying the mediators of this suppression effect is an important direction for TBI rehabilitation research.
