Through a cross-cultural and two historical studies, Fu et al. examined the relationship between pathogen severity & semantic space. They observed that pathogen stress was associated with sensorially oriented semantic processing. Yanchao Bi Ze Fu nature.com/articles/s4427…

A very nice piece by Scientific American discussing Marcus O. Harrington 's recent work showing that sleep deprivation impairs the ability to control intrusive thoughts ,with useful comments by Maria Wimber and Zara Bergstrom !

Poor sleep has long been linked to decline in brain functioning. A team by Prof Tatia M.C. Lee, Chair Professor of Psychological Science and Clinical Psychology and May Professor in Neuropsychology at HKU, showed that poor sleep among older adults is linked to disruptions in

Congratulations to Sean's very first publication!

How the sleeping brain makes semantic decisions. Taking advantage of a unique dataset on sleepers' behavioural responses (facial muscle activity) to words/pseudowords, Tao employed drift diffusion model to uncover the underlying decision processes.

How does the brain stop thoughts? Find out in my article in @natrevneuro.nature.com with S. Subbulakshmi & Maite Crespo-Garcia integrating 25 yrs of psychology and neuroscience on this function.
