A new paper by do Vale and colleagues accepted in Hormones and Behavior

The paper entitled Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and Dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEAS) and emotional processing – a behavioral and electrophysiological approach, by do Vale, Selinger, Martins, Bicho, do Carmo, & Escera, has been accepted for publication in Hormones and Behavior. The full abstract reads as follows: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEAS) may have mood enhancement effects: higher DHEAS concentrations and […]

A new paper from Cacciaglia and colleagues is accepted by Neuropsychologia

The paper entitled Involvement of the Human midbrain and thalamus in auditory deviance detection, by Cacciaglia, Escera, Slabu, Grimm, Sanjuán, Ventura-Campos, and Ávila, has been accepted for publication in Neuropsychologia. A long tradicion of electrophysiological research in humans, by using the so-called mismatch negativity (MMN) evoked potential, has attributed to the auditory cortex the ability […]

A new paper from Recasens and colleagues is accepted by Neuroimage

The paper entitled Repetition suppression and repetition enhancement underlie auditory memory‐trace formation in the human brain: an MEG study, by Recasens, Leung, Grimm, Nowak, and Escera, has been accepted for publication in  Neuroimage. In this study, we showed that auditory sensory memory trace formation encompassed both repetition suppression and repetition enhancement. Suppression occurred by the time range […]

A new paper from the lab accepted for publication in PLoS ONE

Sónia do Vale and colleagues got the paper entitled “The relationship between dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), working memory and distraction – a behavioral and electrophysiological approach” accepted in PLoS ONE. In their study, do Vale and colleagues showed that ratio between cortisol and DHEA preceding task performance was related to increased electrophysiological signs of distractibility (enhanced novelty-P3).
