This research compares three experimental models of anxiety — threat of shock, CO₂-induced panic, and speech-induced social anxiety — to reveal how each affects cognition. Findings show distinct patterns in attention, memory, and loss aversion, offering insights that could improve and better tailor treatments for anxiety disorders.

This research investigates how children use the left and right hemispheres for language and spatial reasoning. Using ultrasound while children play custom games, it shows that those with the typical left-language/right-spatial pattern tend to have stronger skills. The findings reveal how brain-activity patterns relate to developmental risks and complex tasks like reading.

The researcher rebuilds how cells sort materials to understand Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Using proteins and lipids like Lego pieces, they study how a key protein, retromer, malfunctions and disrupts cell transport. With cryogenic electron tomography, they aim to model this process and guide new treatments that restore healthy cellular function.
