Non-invasive prenatal testing: a revolutionary journey in prenatal testing.

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a pioneering technique that has consistently advanced the field of prenatal testing to detect genetic abnormalities and conditions with the aim of decreasing the incidence and prevalence of inherited conditions. NIPT remains a method of choice for common autosomal aneuploidies, mostly trisomy 21, and several monogenic disorders. The advancements in gene sequencing techniques have expanded the panel of conditions where NIPT could be offered.

Design: Pilot study.

Setting: Academic medical center.

Personality correlates of individual differences in the recruitment of cognitive mechanisms when rewards are at stake.

Individuals differ greatly in their sensitivity to rewards and punishments. In the extreme, these differences are implicated in a range of psychiatric disorders from addiction to depression. However, it is unclear how these differences influence the recruitment of attention, working memory, and long-term memory when responding to potential rewards.

Impulsivity and response modulation deficits in psychopathy: evidence from the ERN and N1.

The response modulation hypothesis of psychopathy states that psychopaths' inability to adapt their behavior to changing circumstances results from an inability to process peripheral cues in the midst of a dominant response. The current study examined this relationship between psychopathic traits and response modulation using a lexical decision stop signal task and event-related potentials to assess deficits in stimulus and error processing. Overall, the impulsive antisocial (IA) factor of psychopathy was related to poor behavioral performance, particularly in relation to response inhibition.
