1. 1. The Neural Correlates of Sensory Processing Sensitivity : a Systematic Review

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Carolina Rundcrantz Zubcevic; [2023]
   Keywords : sensory processing sensitivity; highly sensitive person; personality trait; fMRI;

   Abstract : Sensory processing sensitivity is an innate temperament trait characterized by deeper cognitive processing of stimuli, increased empathy and emotionality, ease of overstimulation, and heightened awareness of subtileties in the environment. This systematic review aims to review the literature that has investigated the neural correlates of sensory processing sensitivity. READ MORE

3. 2. Traumatic brain injury and its impact on working memory : A systematic review

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Li Hallgren; Naema Adani Mohammed; [2023]
   Keywords : Traumatic brain injury; working memory; prefrontal cortex; functional magnetic resonance imaging; transcranial direct current stimulation;

   Abstract : The purpose of this systematic review is to provide insight into the impact traumatic brain injury (TBI) has on the executive function known as the working memory. TBI is a damage to the brain that occurs when the brain is critically injured to the degree that it impacts several brain regions and functions such as the hippocampus, its surrounding areas, the prefrontal cortex, and the performance of the working memory ability.

4. 3. Finding a Solution : Adapting Psychological Interventions to Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Jakob Wikström; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Throughout my education I have found that the psychological interventions in use are largely tailored to the masses, and some may be ill suited for those from certain subpopulations such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Asperger's syndrome (AS). I investigated whether there are statistically significant neurological differences between those with high functioning ASD or Asperger's and those without, with the goal of using those differences to propose what aspects might be used to create new psychological interventions more suited to neurodivergent individuals.

5. 4. Body patterning and cognition in cephalopods - a literature review

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

   Author : Georgina Chu; [2023]
   Keywords : cephalopods; octopus; body patterning; colour alteration; chromatophores; pigment cells; cognition; learning and memory;

   Abstract : Cephalopods are a valuable model for studying the evolution of cognition due to their distinctive brain structure, organisation, and connectivity patterns compared to vertebrates. The development of large brains and behavioural complexities are believed to be triggered by evolutionary pressures stemming from factors like heightened predation, more demanding foraging conditions, and intense mating competition.

6. 5. What happens in the brain during adolescence? : A systematic review of gray and white matter changes during adolescence

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Ema Milcendeau; Martina Hana; [2023]
   Keywords : Adolescence; brain development; longitudinal studies; gray and white matter changes; SIPN model; triadic model; synaptic pruning; myelination;

   Abstract : During adolescence, the brain undergoes significant reorganization due to myelination and synaptic pruning. These changes are associated with risk-taking behaviors and the development of social relationships. Recent advancements in adolescent brain development can potentially enhance strategies for preventing and treating mental health disorders. READ MORE
