Does advanced driver training improve situational awareness?

29 Jun 2009 Over 70 years of experiential evidence suggests that a specific form of advanced driver training, one based on an explicit system of car control, improves driver situation awareness (SA). Five experimental hypotheses are developed. They propose ... Read more...

N400 deficits from semantic matching of pictures in probands and first-degree relatives from multiplex schizophrenia families.

29 Jun 2009 Endophenotypes is one emerging strategy in schizophrenia research that is being used to identify the functional importance of genetically transmitted, brain-based deficits present in this disease. Currently, event-related potentials (ERPs) are ... Read more...

Dynamic encoding of responses and outcomes by neurons in medial prefrontal cortex.

8 Jun 2009 Medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) both contribute to goal-directed behavior, but their precise role remains unclear. Several lines of evidence suggest that MPFC is more important than LPFC for outcome-guided ... Read more...
