Explicit knowledge of task structure is a primary determinant of human model-ba...

Explicit information obtained through instruction profoundly shapes human choice behaviour. However, this has been studied in computationally simple tasks, and it is unknown how model-based and model-free systems, respectively generating goal-directed and habitual actions, are affected by the absence or presence of instructions. We assessed behaviour in a variant of a computationally more complex decision-makin...

Are prayer-based Interventions effective pain management options? A systematic ...

This review examined the efects of private and communal participatory prayer on pain. Nine databases were searched. Six randomized controlled trials were included. For private prayer, medium to large efects emerged for 67% to 69% of betweengroup comparisons; participants in the prayer condition reported lower pain intensity (0.59<d<26.17; 4 studies) and higher pain tolerance (0.70<d<1.05; 1 study). Preto post-i...

Immediate effects of hypnosis, mindfulness meditation, and prayer on cold press...

Purpose: Previous research supports the usefulness of hypnosis (HYP), mindfulness meditation (MM), and prayer as pain self-management strategies in adults with chronic pain. However, their effects on acute pain have been less researched, and no previous head-to-head study compared the immediate effects of these three approaches on pain-related outcomes. This study compared the immediate effects of HYP, MM, and ...

Validation of quantitative gait analysis systems for Parkinson’s disease for us...

Background: Gait impairments are among the most common and impactful symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Recent technological advances aim to quantify these impairments using low-cost wearable systems for use in either supervised clinical consultations or long-term unsupervised monitoring of gait in ecological environments. However, very few of these wearable systems have been validated comparatively to a cri...

Feasibility of a mobile-based system for unsupervised monitoring in Parkinson’s...

Mobile health (mHealth) has emerged as a potential solution to providing valuable ecological information about the severity and burden of Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms in real-life conditions. Objective: The objective of our study was to explore the feasibility and usability of an mHealth system for continuous and objective real-life measures of patients' health and functional mobility, in unsupervised sett...

Unsupervised walking activity assessment reveals COVID‐19 impact on Parkinson's...

COVID-19 brought multiple societal challenges that became a catalyst for worsening health in people with Parkinson’s disease (PwPD) and brought disruption in their social activities. It is hypothesized that the COVID-19 confinement also impacted the functional mobility of PwPD. One of the building blocks of functional mobility is the ability to walk. It enables independence and participation in social activitie...

Postingestive Modulation of Food Seeking Depends on Vagus-Mediated Dopamine Neu...

Postingestive nutrient sensing can induce food preferences. However, much less is known about the ability of postingestive signals to modulate food-seeking behaviors. Here we report a causal connection between postingestive sucrose sensing and vagus-mediated dopamine neuron activity in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), supporting food seeking. The activity of VTA dopamine neurons increases significantly after a...
