Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation of the prefrontal cortex enhances complex verbal associative thought.

29 Sep 2009 The remote associates test (RAT) is a complex verbal task with associations to both creative thought and general intelligence. RAT problems require not only lateral associations and the internal production of many words but a convergent focus on a ... Read more...

The medial temporal lobe and the left inferior prefrontal cortex jointly support interference resolution in verbal working memory.

29 Sep 2009 During working memory retrieval, proactive interference (PI) can be induced by semantic similarity and episodic familiarity. Here, we used fMRI to test hypotheses about the role of the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) and the medial temporal lobe ... Read more...

Cognitive deficits in the euthymic phase of unipolar depression.

16 Sep 2009 Although neuropsychological deficits have been reported in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) during an acute episode, relatively little is known about the persistence of these deficits in remission. This study investigated the ... Read more...
