Disruption in the balance between goal-directed behavior and habit learning in obsessive-compulsive disorder
(2011-07)Objective: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by repetitive, ritualistic behaviors and thought patterns. Although patients with OCD report that these compulsive behaviors are unproductive and often ... -
Service users' perceptions of quality of life measurement in psychiatry
(2011)This article describes the concept of quality of life (QoL) as applied to mental health. It also outlines relevant tools for measuring QoL, both generic and health-specific, and explains their approaches and purposes. These ... -
A biophysical model of synaptic delay learning and temporal pattern recognition in a cerebellar Purkinje cell
(2004)It has been suggested that information in the brain is encoded in temporal spike patterns which are decoded by a combination of time delays and coincidence detection. Here, we show how a multi-compartmental model of a ... -
Long-term depression and recognition of parallel fibre patterns in a multi-compartmental model of a cerebellar Purkinje cell
(2001-06)It has been suggested that long-term depression (LTD) of parallel fibre (PF) synapses enables a cerebellar Purkinje cell (PC) to learn to recognise PF activity patterns. We investigate the recognition of PF patterns that ... -
Adaptive leaky integrator models of cerebellar Purkinje cells can learn the clustering of temporal patterns
(1999-06)We have shown previously that the metabotropic glutamate receptor signalling network in a cerebellar Purkinje cell can implement adaptive postsynaptic delays. Here we present a leaky integrator version of the Purkinje cell ... -
Rank order decoding of temporal parallel fibre input patterns in a complex Purkinje cell model
(2002-06)The processing speed of many neuronal systems requires temporal coding. Recently, a temporal rank order code has been suggested that uses the temporal order of spikes, disregarding their precise timing. A rank order-coded ... -
Passive models of neurons in the deep cerebellar nuclei: the effect of reconstruction errors
(2004-06)The goal of this study was to determine how the fit of passive parameters in a compart-mental model varies depending on the precise morphological reconstruction of the neuron. We per-formed whole-cell recordings of deep ... -
Novelty detection in a Kohonen-like network with a long-term depression learning rule
(2003-06)In the cerebellar cortex, long-term depression (LTD) of synapses between parallel fibers (PF) and Purkinje neurons can spread to neighboring ones, independently of their activation by PF input. This spread of non-specific ... -
Structural features of a close homologue of L1 (CHL1) in the mouse: a new member of the L1 family of neural recognition molecules
(1996)We have identified a close homologue of L1 (CHL1) in the mouse. CHL1 comprises an N-terminal signal sequence, six immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains, 4.5 fibronectin type III (FN)-like repeats, a transmembrane domain and a ... -
Culture and psychosocial function in British and Japanese people with an ostomy
(2011)PURPOSE: We compared social and psychological adjustment to surgery ending with an ostomy in British and Japanese patients. METHODS: In response to a postal survey, 948 ostomy patients (464 British and 484 Japanese), ... -
Taking a language stance
(2011)Linguists tend to view language in terms of forms and their use. For historical reasons, speaking and listening are often ascribed to knowledge of a language system. Language behavior is seen as the production and processing ... -
Childhood sexual abuse and construction of self and others in people who have experienced psychosis
(2011)This study aimed to investigate how childhood sexual abuse (CSA) affects self-construction and construction of other people in people who have experienced psychosis. A sample of 21 such people was divided into 2 groups, ... -
Ultrasound Treatment of Cutaneous Side-Effects of Infused Apomorphine: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
(2009-01-15)Apomorphine hydrochloride is a dopamine agonist used in the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease. Its administration by subcutaneous infusions is associated with the development of nodules that may interfere with ... -
From educational philosophy to educational practice: fidelity and the curriculum in context
(1990)As part of a higher degree on research methods, exploratory work was undertaken concerning educational philosophy and educational practice using an ethnographic approach. This author discusses, using this exploratory work, ... -
Teacher behaviour: a determinant of student self esteem
(1989)This small scale piece of research was undertaken to establish whether there existed a relationship between teacher behaviour and the reported self esteem inventories of four students. Using a low inference category system ... -
The rose review of the English primary curriculum
(2010)The editorial for this special issue was written towards the end of 2009 shortly after the publication of the final reports and recommendations of Rose (2009) and Alexander (2009). At the time, many primary schools were ... -

Analyzing peer-to-peer technology using information ethics
(2011)Much of the ethical debate on peer-to-peer (P2P) focuses on the use of this technology for unauthorized and illegal sharing of copyrighted materials. This fixation has led some to believe that P2P is an intrinsically ... -
A posteriori physicalists get our phenomenal concepts wrong
(2011)Dualists say plausible things about our mental concepts: there is a way of thinking of pain, in terms of how it feels, which is independent of causal role. Physicalists make attractive ontological claims: the world is ...
