• On Whether Task Experience of the Peer Differentially Impacts Feedback Scheduling and Skill Acquisition of a Learner 

  Patterson, Jae Todd; Mcrae, Matthew; Hansen, Steve (Frontiers Media, 2019)

  Previous research has shown that peers without task experience provided knowledge of results (KR) as effectively as performers who self-controlled their own KR schedule ( McRae et al., 2015 ). In the present experiment, a ...

• Electrophysiological correlates of top-down attentional modulation in olfaction 

  Singh, Archana K; Touhara, Kazushige; Okamoto, Masako (Nature Research (Part of Springer Nature), 2019)

  The capacity to pay attention is important for the cognitive ability, for example, evaluating an object for its qualities. Attention can selectively prioritize the neural processes that are relevant to a given task. ...

• Calmodulin-Binding Proteins in Muscle: A Minireview on Nuclear Receptor Interacting Protein, Neurogranin, and Growth-Associated Protein 43 

  Moradi, Fereshteh; Copeland, Emily N; Baranowski, Ryan W; Scholey, Aiden E; Stuart, Jeffrey A; Fajardo, Val A (MDPI, 2020)

  Calmodulin (CaM) is an important Ca2+-sensing protein with numerous downstream targets that are either CaM-dependant or CaM-regulated. In muscle, CaM-dependent proteins, which are critical regulators of dynamic Ca2+ handling ...

• High Endemicity of Soil-Transmitted Helminths in a Population Frequently Exposed to Albendazole but No Evidence of Antiparasitic Resistance 

  Matamoros, Gabriela; Rueda, Maria Mercedes; Rodriguez, Carol; Gabrie, Jose A; Canales, Maritza; Fontecha, Gustavo; Sanchez, Ana (MDPI, 2019)

  Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) are gastrointestinal parasites widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas. Mass drug administration (MDA) of benzimidazoles (BZ) is the most recommended for STH control. These ...

• Metarhizium robertsii ammonium permeases (MepC and Mep2) contribute to rhizoplane colonization and modulates the transfer of insect derived nitrogen to plants 

  Moonjely, Soumya; Zhang, Xing; Fang, Weiguo; Bidochka, Michael J (Public Library of Science, 2019)

  The endophytic insect pathogenic fungi (EIPF) Metarhizium promotes plant growth through symbiotic association and the transfer of insect-derived nitrogen. However, little is known about the genes involved in this association ...

• A Low-Therapeutic Dose of Lithium Inhibits GSK3 and Enhances Myoblast Fusion in C2C12 Cells 

  Kurgan, Nigel; Whitley, Kennedy C; Maddalena, Lucas A; Moradi, Fereshteh; Stoikos, Joshua; Hamstra, Sophie I; Rubie, Elizabeth A; Kumar, Megha; Roy, Brian D; Woodgett, James R; Stuart, Jeffrey A; Fajardo, Val A (MDPI, 2019)

  Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) slows myogenic differentiation and myoblast fusion partly by inhibiting the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Lithium, a common medication for bipolar disorder, inhibits GSK3 via Mg+ ...

• Investigating the Muscular and Kinematic Responses to Sudden Wrist Perturbations During a Dynamic Tracking Task 

  Forman, Garrick N.; Forman, Davis A.; Avila-Mireles, Edwin J; Zenzeri, Jacopo; Holmes, Michael W R (Nature Research (part of Springer Nature), 2020)

  Sudden disturbances (perturbations) to the hand and wrist are commonplace in daily activities and workplaces when interacting with tools and the environment. It is important to understand how perturbations influence forearm ...

• Hyperarousal Is Associated with Socioemotional Processing in Individuals with Insomnia Symptoms and Good Sleepers 

  Howlett, Reuben D M; Lustig, Kari A; MacDonald, Kevin J; Cote, Kimberly A (MDPI, 2020)

  Despite complaints of difficulties in waking socioemotional functioning by individuals with insomnia, only a few studies have investigated emotion processing performance in this group. Additionally, the role of sleep in ...

• Reasons for Forgiving: Individual Differences and Emotional Outcomes 

  Belicki, Kathryn; Decourville, Nancy; Kamble, Shanmukh Vasant; Stewart, Tammy; Rubel, Alicia (SAGE Publications, 2020)

  This research is part of a program to identify common forms of forgiveness and study the outcomes associated with different ways of forgiving. Two samples, one in Canada (N = 274) and one in India (N = 159), completed a ...

• Plant microbiome analysis after Metarhizium amendment reveals increases in abundance of plant growth-promoting organisms and maintenance of disease-suppressive soil 

  Waller, Alison S.; Behie, Scott W.; Bidochka, Michael J.; Barelli, Larissa (Public Library of Science, 2020-01)

  The microbial community in the plant rhizosphere is vital to plant productivity and disease resistance. Alterations in the composition and diversity of species within this community could be detrimental if microbes suppressing ...

• The colon cancer screening behaviours survey for South Asians: a pilot study of feasibility and psychometric evaluation 

  Crawford, Joanne; Morfaw, Frederick; Ahmad, Farah; Thabane, Lehana; Frisina, Angela (Springer Open, 2020)

  The purpose of the study was to pilot test the English and Urdu version of the Colon Cancer Screening Behaviours Survey among South Asians in Canada. The first objective was to evaluate feasibility of administration, data ...

• Electrophysiological correlates of the fexible allocation of visual working memory resources 

  Salahub, Christine; Lockhart, Holly A; Dube, Blaire; Al-Aidroos, Naseem; Emrich, Stephen (Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12-19)

  Visual working memory is a brief, capacity-limited store of visual information that is involved in a large number of cognitive functions. To guide one’s behavior effectively, one must efficiently allocate these limited ...
