The problem of resilience of families with the consequences of war psychotrauma.

Objective: Аim: To determine the characteristics of family resilience to the consequences of war psychotrauma.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The experimental group included 23 young families (46 people, average age 28,20 ± 1,33 years) forcibly resettled from the zone of active hostilities; the control group consisted of 25 young families (50 people, average age 28,16 ±1,72 years) from Kyiv, who did not change their place of residence and did not witness active hostilities. The following psychodiagnostic methods were used questionnaires: "Diagnosis of personality behavior in a conflict situation"; "Communication in the family"; Marriage satisfaction test-questionnaire; Connor-Davidson-10 resilience scale.

A naturalistic environment to study visual cognition in unrestrained monkeys.

Macaque monkeys are widely used to study vision. In the traditional approach, monkeys are brought into a lab to perform visual tasks while they are restrained to obtain stable eye tracking and neural recordings. Here, we describe a novel environment to study visual cognition in a more natural setting as well as other natural and social behaviors.

Perceptual Priming Can Increase or Decrease With Aging.

A decline in declarative or explicit memory has been extensively characterized in cognitive aging and is a hallmark of cognitive impairments. However, whether and how implicit perceptual memory varies with aging or cognitive impairment is unclear. Here, we compared implicit perceptual memory and explicit memory measures in three groups of participants: (1) 59 healthy young volunteers (20-30 years); (2) 269 healthy old volunteers (50-90 years) and (3) 21 patients with mild cognitive impairment, i.

Selective IT neurons are selective along many dimensions.

Our visual abilities are unsurpassed because of a sophisticated code for objects located in the inferior temporal (IT) cortex. This code has remained a mystery because IT neurons show extremely diverse shape selectivity with no apparent organizing principle. Here, we show that there is an intrinsic component to selectivity in IT neurons.

Texture discriminability in monkey inferotemporal cortex predicts human texture perception.

Shape and texture are both important properties of visual objects, but texture is relatively less understood. Here, we characterized neuronal responses to discrete textures in monkey inferotemporal (IT) cortex and asked whether they can explain classic findings in human texture perception. We focused on three classic findings on texture discrimination: 1) it can be easy or hard depending on the constituent elements; 2) it can have asymmetries, and 3) it is reduced for textures with randomly oriented elements.
