Journal ArticleDOI
The functional neuroanatomy of autobiographical memory: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The findings support a neural distinction between episodic and semantic memory in AM, and it is found that memory age effects on medial temporal lobe structures may be modulated by qualitative aspects of memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Toronto Empathy Questionnaire: Scale development and initial validation of a factor-analytic solution to multiple empathy measures
TL;DR: The Toronto Empathy Questionnaires demonstrated strong convergent validity, correlating positively with behavioral measures of social decoding, self-report measures of empathy, and negatively with a measure of Autism symptomatology, and it exhibited good internal consistency and high test–retest reliability.
Journal Article
A meta-analysis examining clinical predictors of hippocampal volume in patients with major depressive disorder.
TL;DR: The results suggest that hippocampal volume reductions generally occur after disease onset in patients with MDD, and have implications for the timing of clinical interventions aimed at reducing the impact of MDD on neuronal structure and function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Domain-general contributions to social reasoning: theory of mind and deontic reasoning re-explored
TL;DR: Using older adults and dual-task interference, performance on two social reasoning tasks is examined: theory of mind tasks and versions of the deontic selection task involving social contracts and hazardous conditions, suggesting that domain-general resources contribute to performance of these tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bilateral Hippocampal Volume Increase in Patients with Bipolar Disorder and Short-term Lithium Treatment
Kaan Yucel,Valerie H. Taylor,Margaret C. McKinnon,Kathryn Macdonald,Martin Alda,L. Trevor Young,Glenda MacQueen +6 more
TL;DR: There was a bilateral increase in volumes of HC and Hh in the Li-treated group compared to the unmedicated group, an effect that was apparent even over a brief treatment period, providing further confirmation that Li can exert structural effects on the HC, which are detectable in vivo.
