DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2020.12.035

Abstract: In everyday life, risky decision-making relies on multiple cognitive processes including sensitivity to reinforcers, exploration, learning, and forgetting. Neuroimaging evidence suggests that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is involved in exploration and risky decision-making, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2216315120

Abstract: Behavioral science interventions have the potential to address longstanding policy problems, but their effects are typically heterogeneous across contexts (e.g., teachers, schools, and geographic regions). This contextual heterogeneity is poorly understood, however, which reduces the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/annrheumdis-2018-eular.5017

Abstract: Background Mitochondria execute critical roles in diverse cellular pathways. As a danger signal mitochondria induce inflammation in response to stress through NLRP3 inflammasome activation, central to gout development. We recently reported association of reduced mtDNA… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/13591053251341795

Abstract: Past research finds that physicians’ communication goals are correlated with patient outcomes. The present work experimentally investigates the effect of five physician communication goals—providing information, encouraging hope, promoting adherence, reducing distress, and increasing satisfaction—on patient… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "PLOS Biology"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3002452

Abstract: Humans often face the challenge of making decisions between ambiguous options. The level of ambiguity in decision-making has been linked to activity in the parietal cortex, but its exact computational role remains elusive. To test… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3002772

Abstract: Dopamine-based reward and learning mechanisms have been suggested to contribute to placebo effects. However, the exact role of dopaminergic neurotransmission in their generation and maintenance is still unclear. This study aimed to shed light on… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.896369

Abstract: Background The association between snoring and erectile dysfunction (ED) is inconsistent in multiple observational studies. To clarify the causal association of snoring on ED, we performed this two-sample Mendelian randomization study. Materials and Methods The… read more here.
